... what matters first is that you vote.Lifelong Texas Republican says data centers are why he’ll vote Democrat: “This is the first time in my adult life where there's been an issue that's come up that I feel like is going to directly impact me.”

America started as a country where the vote mattered. Every government official in the Constitution is elected, except Art. III judges, and they are appointed by the people we, the people, elected. Most Southern states, after Reconstruction, elect government officials down to dog catcher and street sweeper.
And yet every two years, and every local election, the vast majority of us can’t be bothered with our self-governance. And we leave it to the people who do care; and complain when we don’t get what we wanted.
I don’t care why people vote. We all act out of self interest at one time or another, if not all the time. Don’t judge why people vote, especially when their decision aligns with yours. Because if you judge, then you’ll be judged.
And I’m guessing you don’t want that. Especially if it puts your self interest under the microscope.🔬
