  1. i hate myself for even typing this, but i watched the longer clip last night (it's on the midterms thread) and he's clearly trying to be funny, he just sucks at it because of course he does.
    the above clip is edited in a way that you can't really tell, and the quote does sound like something he would say.  i would find the longer clip but i don't want to.
    I appreciate the honesty, and we should all strive for that, but with this asshole it's a bit of a wasted effort, as I'm sure he's done something far worse since you posted this, than the incident you've repudiated.

  2. Charlie Fuckin’ Crist landed a few punches against DeSantis in their debate. Ron’s political career will end the night he’s allowed to stand on a debate stage against Trump, and I suspect the GOP knows this. Will be fascinating to watch how they maneuver this pivot, should that be the direction they choose.
    Do you even Texas GOP bro, being shitty doesn't matter. Paxton says sup.
  3. Eh I’ve heard this exact sentiment ever election by some of either side that loses for the last 30 plus years.  We just bounce back and forth over and over again and life goes on.  The sky is not falling. 
    Sure, I voted for McCain and wasn't unhappy when Obama won (it wasnt a big deal), I just expected Obama would get the JFK treatment and it would hurt the country.

    Fast forward through a decade of passive aggressive racism culminating in a attempted overthrown of our Capitol with dead bodies, and many more bodies deserving to be dead and I'm a little less rosey on the whole situation bro.

    On an unrelated note, can someone tell this casual observer why its not a total disaster that the 30-44 age group only went D+2? After all the shit GOP has pulled, not to mention Roe going down, how tf do the millennials basically split equally between GOP and Dems?
    I've been screaming this for years: Not all utes go to college find a new black friend and undo years of systemic racism. Plenty go on to be welders and hate taxes and mythical welfare queens as they were raised. And, this is shocking, not all migrants to Texas are liberal techbros. Someone has to build the facility the techbros work in, or remodel the house they move in to, and those folks are gonna be Maga types through and through.

    I see it daily. I personally can't imagine putting political shit on my Work vehicle but they do. Progressive clients bitch, but what can I do? Who can I hire? We are fresh the fuck out of immigrants who might keep thier head down and not air political messages.

  5. Winning as a Democrat in Texas requires a fuck load of old school pandering enough to make Pappy or the Fergusons blush. And maybe a midget.

    Going to the Valley? Shoot some Dove skillfully, dress like an accurate redneck, eat Menudo or tripe while listening to King George and drinking a Lone Star. Learn to two step and Cumbia. Ride around with Pat Greene in a convertible through Bluebonnets.

    The townhall were cool, but skateboarding was tone deaf.

    See Gov Ann hunting Quail (and she only won because her opponent was pro-rapist)

    Hell see Dana Goeb to start with. We love our mythology; we love our guns.


    Hint hint future Dems. Get really good at Sporting Clays. Bum a dip from a townhall participant.

  6. Which wasn't even said during this race and was also said in the heat of the moment following the Wal-Mart shooting in El Paso.
    I agree Beto might've done a better job clarifying that statement in this campaign but it was always going to be disingenuously used in Abbott/Patrick attack ads and it was. I do not think his common sense views on guns are all that different than enough Texans for it to not be the reason he wins or loses an election in this state.

    As soon as he said that I knew he was toast. His first run, I donated a lot of time and money to his campaign enthusiastically. After that blunder, I fully checked out. He will need to move if he wants to hold political office outside El Paso. I like the guy and believe he comes from a good place, which are sadly not good traits in politics.
  7. Ah yes, sorry. I forgot men aren't allowed to comment based on observations, data, and statistics. I'll just mosey on off to an incel board since I'm such a fucking misogynist. I assume you've made no observations or comments whatsoever on Black and Latinx voting trends?
    I'm a dude, but I feel you brought up fair points. Women are not a monolithic voting block. And do often marry and become submissive to thier husband's church, politics whatever. I had a friend that I stayed close to platonically after we briefly dated in High School. Through college at UT and beyond she was a smart cool chick that i respected intellectually. Then she married some dude and became a fucking wackadoodle right wing nut job. We no longer hang.

    Perhaps the problem isnt women, based on exit polls, but white people.

  8. i'll say this, pertinent to discussion in this thread...
    as a middle-aged, middle class, suburban/urban white woman...nobody judges and hates on women more than other women. black, white, hispanic, asian... doesn't matter.
    how that plays out in politics may vary and include other factors, but it's a universal truth. 
    All the Republican women I know vote that way because thier husband tells them too. The wife of one of my clients gets a piece of paper with instructions on how to vote.
