    Why are media folks using the word “flee” for Dems in Texas?

        My first impression was that *all* democrats in Texas were being chased out of the state - which was concerning for a millisecond considering how close the state is to flipping blue at the state level. I feel as though the wording is purposely malicious towards progress.

        I don't know, probably because that makes for a more interesting headline than one that would more accurately represent what they were doing

        Same reason they used it when Trump left the Capital on Inauguration Day....sloppiness in language.

        So you’ve been in corporate journalism at one time could you explain to us why that word choice?

        When I read that, I hear “escaping danger.” If they stay they’ll be arrested/detained, brought into Congress, and the GOP will have their quorum to vote in voter restrictions.

        There doesn't seem to be an appropriate synonym.. Break out? Disappear? Vanish? Escape?
