This has never been the norm anywhere I've worked. Their management must just be a bunch of shitheads.

every union i've been in published a voting guide. the employer? never.

So, officially nobody at the company is telling you how to vote. And there's a big disclaimer to that effect at the bottom of the email.

However, I've never worked at a company where the managers (or the workers for that matter) were all perfectly apolitical.

The line from the business is effectively that Democrats are bad for the O&G industry, so you need to vote Republican if you want business growth.

I've never seen that to be the case, historically. But I can definitely see how a Texas oil company would end up being stacked with Republican die-hards in the C-suite.

The guy who owned Westgate Resorts in Orlando, used to send a letter to his employees every election year, telling them that if the Republican didn't win, he was going to lay off lots of people. It was all a bluff.

But, it’s Paxton- the 2nd most corrupt politician in America

Listen, far be it for me to resist dumping on a crook like Paxton, but 2nd? He's not even top ten.

Once he's actually in the Senate, I'm sure he'll scramble up that ladder. I just don't think you realize how corrupt guys like Rick Scott and Jim Justice have been.

Paxton's not even in the nine figures of net worth. Mitt Romney was more corrupt back when he was a Massachusetts governor. Even Doug Burgum runs laps around Ken Paxton. He's still at the kiddie table of corruption. Greg Abbott is way more corrupt, if for no other reason than he's better at moving money.

Paxton has a long way to go.

I don't know why they're afraid of actually winning elections.
