  1. You need a Marketing VP with a Masterā€™s degree and 25 years of experience in healthcare?
  2. Screed, huh? Good to know youā€™d have the means to leave. If leaving means becoming a refugee living in tents in California or New York and being treated like such, how much better is that? Iā€™m sure all the poor Black folks in Mississippi and Alabama and Louisiana would love to be able to blithely debate the merits of purchasing $500,000 worth of property in Portugal or Spain. As much as I appreciate the motivation behind the Texpatriates thread, itā€™s absolutely infuriating to read. Iā€™d love to pick up my life and move to NYC or Seattle or San Diego or wherever. Problem is, I donā€™t have the economic ability to do so. And the majority of Texans who feel the same way you donā€™t either. This board skews very white and rich and out of touch with the majority of Democratic voters. Sometimes itā€™s really obvious that most of yā€™all were former republicans and these discussions are illustrative of that. Yā€™all really want to effect real electoral change? Move to purple states and make your vote and politics count.
  3. Fuck off with this line of thinking. Yā€™all realize Texas would be first on the list of ā€œGTFO statesā€ for blue states, yes? And despite the ruby red status of places like Alabama and Mississippi, thereā€™s still 40% of us who hate our overall voting patterns. Not to mention that the percentage of Black residents is higher in these states than almost any blue state. And a lot of us in that 40% donā€™t have the means or privilege to just pick up and move. I get the sentiment but as a blue dot in a red state it gets real tiring to listen to our supposed allies writing us off to be sacrificed. At least Alabama elected Doug Jones in the last few years. Whenā€™s the last time a Texas Democrat won a statewide election?
  4. Kinzingerā€™s positions on voting rights, abortion, gerrymandering, gay rights, etc. make him a nonstarter. Yā€™all got to quit touting Never Trump Republicans as a solution. Theyā€™re after the same ends, they just have more palatable means.
  5. And anyone mentioning Liz Cheney can FUCK OFF
  6. lol this thread is hilarious. Joe Biden will be the Democratic nominee and no one will try and primary him. You donā€™t give up the incumbency advantage. All the other Democrats mentioned are laying their groundwork for 2028. Mayor Pete will never be president. Kamala Harris will never be president. For the GQP, Trump will be the nominee. If he doesnā€™t decide to run or is dead (please god) or in jail (PLEASE GOD), itā€™ll be one of his insane minions. There. Pay me my $9.95.
  7. lol I love the way yā€™all have taken this low effort shitpost and commandeered it into a thread about delicious breakfast food. I adore yā€™all [emoji3590]
  8. This is some Michael Peterson fuckery. Was there an owl flying about too?
  9. Iā€™m telling you now that the women of America are going to going to get violent before this is over. I donā€™t condone it but the more horror stories that come out the rage is going to explode.
  10. But why? Fucking soulless ghouls.
  11. A bunch of right wing assholes publicly called the story about the 10 year old rape Ohio victim who had to go to Indiana for an abortion a made up story. Today the rapist was arrested and instead of publicly acknowledging they were full of shit (lol) theyā€™re deflecting by going after the physician.
  12. My guess? The poor White House valet who Cassidy Hutchison mentioned who had to clean up the broken plate and ketchup on the wall.
  13. Buy me a plane ticket and and a safe place to stay and Iā€™ll come be the designated kid wrangler. Donā€™t need game tickets as long as thereā€™s a big TV. Iā€™ll teach them to say ā€œRoll Tideā€ though.
  14. Oh FFS Do ā€œMom and Popā€ gas stations even exist anymore?
  15. Just saved to listen once I finish all 3,000 hours of Robert Caroā€™s LBJ audiobooks. Thanks for the recommendation! BTW - do we have a political book thread? Iā€™d love to discuss the LBJ series with a bunch of smart Texans. Iā€™m loving learning all about LBJ and had no idea how huge a role he played in shaping much of 20th century politics.
  16. lol Yes letā€™s give the press an actual ā€œDEMS IN DISARRAYā€ story and have a chaotic and brutal two year primary while Trump waltzes to the nomination. And I thought women were supposed to be too irrational and emotional and hysterical about politics. This is like arguing with Chuck Todd.
  17. I seriously canā€™t take anyone serious who is advocating for Biden to give up THE greatest advantage he has - incumbency. Itā€™s not happening.
