IN AN EFFORT TO SHOW HOW CHILDISH TEXAS'S GOVERNOR IS, DEMOCRATS LEAVE THE STATE TO AVOID VOTing.7/13/2021 Austin, TX (Wokeville Gazette) — In a last ditch effort to avoid being pulled into the childish games the state GOP has been choosing to play, Democrats in Texas jumped on a plane and skipped town to avoid doing their job.
"I got the idea the other day from my toddler, who fell on the floor and caused a scene in the store when I wouldn't buy her a pack of Skittles", said one member of the Texas democrats. " I thought to myself, this is it. This is exactly what we need to do to get what we want". Because the DNC lawmakers don't have any viable options available to them, to stop the state's GOP from voting on their proposed voting bills, they have decided to do the only other adult thing they can do; namely, throw a temper tantrum until they get their way. "We're going on a work-vacation. We're heading to Washington, D.C. to celebrate our victory with the likes of AOC and Nancy Pelosi. It's a work trip, as we're trying to avoid doing our jobs back home. And we are grateful for the people of Texas who are not only paying for this trip but will likely pay for our shenanigans for years and years to come". Texas state lawmakers, enacting an intricately plotted escape, left their posts and the Lone Star state itself and took flight to Washington on Monday on an extraordinary mission to halt Republican restrictive voting bills built on former President Donald Trump's fraud lies. After stepping off two chartered jets, they insisted they planned to stay until a highly unlikely scenario unfolds in which moderate Democratic senators kill filibuster rules used by the GOP to block voting rights reform. "We are coming to DC to put pressure on them to act, because this isn't just Texas," Texas Democratic state Rep. John Bucy III told CNN's Erin Burnett on Monday. "It's about America and how our elections will be handled going forward. Were doing this brave work for America to protect the outdated, unsecure, and oft-dishonest voting standards that are currently in place, which allowed President Biden to get elected in 2020." When pressed on the legitimacy of walking away from their responsibilities in order to avoid working with the GOP on an actual solution and compromise, the Texas representatives doubled down on their efforts. "If we allow the rules to be changed now, think about the ramifications for future generations of fraudulent voters", said Bucy. "The time to act is now and we'll continue our fight, through flight, until we have complete confidence that the issue of voter integrity and election security is back where it belongs; namely, swept under the rug unless someone like Donald Trump is elected President of the United States of America". Meanwhile, Texas’s Republican governor, Greg Abbott, has vowed to arrest Democrat lawmakers who have fled the state in an attempt to stop an overhaul of election laws. Abbott told an Austin television station he would simply keep calling special sessions of the legislature through next year if necessary, and raised the possibility of Democrats facing arrest upon returning home. “As soon as they come back in the state of Texas, they will be arrested, they will be cabined inside the Texas capitol until they get their job done,” Abbott said. |
