  1. I know. We were so close to be done with him. But no. The circus goes on.
  2. But let me tell you now that Trump won the right wing economy is going to insist it is amazing. And it is. And then they will trash it. As usual.
  3. The idea that there was this big centrist group waiting to be courted was always wrongheaded. Centrism died in 2016. Again, it wasn't perfect but I don't know if there is some kind of messaging that could have carried the day.
  4. Yeah well I have a feeling the oligarchs can afford the military gear to make your AR-15 pretty pointless. This isn't the 18th century. Attack drones and other advanced military tech are going to be harder to take out than redcoats.
  5. I don't think Ztejas is. But heck I can't read his mind.
  6. I guess. I am not saying they were perfect or anything. But the idea that the Democrats can just play perfect politicalball and get it done when the Republicans can have mobs storming the castle is hard to justify. It feels like we have to be perfect and they can do whatever. Anyway I have no ability to shape any political apparatuses. So I guess I am stuck with whatever it can accomplish.
  7. It wouldn't. It would look like an insurgency and from what we have seen of modern Civil Wars is they just go on forever and ever and never seem to resolve themselves until everybody is just exhausted. It wouldn't solve a damn thing.
  8. Dude, this isn't our first election. But this does matter. Let's not pretend it doesn't.
  9. I guess. I am not even sure what we would be fighting about. I mean what happens if we win?
  10. Sure. But he wasn't President.
  11. Any suggestions? All the Republicans needed to do was find a reality TV star. Should we start looking through our list of celebrities?
  12. I saw a silver lining in 2016. If we lose this I don't really see much good. But oh well. Life goes on.
  13. Go ahead and laugh. At least somebody is having a good time.
  14. That doesn't make much sense to me. But it doesn't have to. Fair enough.
  15. Yes. Again everything had gone really well the last few years. I was just puzzled why they didn't seem to punish the Democrats badly in 2022. They decided to wait for two years of a very strong economy, which is objectively much stronger than 2020 instead. I think the story of the election is Donald Trump. People just love the guy and it doesn't matter what he does.
  16. We have a path and its possible. But even if we do barely pull it out...fuck what depressing night. But I expected it to be a very depressing night. I mean 2020 was fucking terrible. Again I appreciate you guys injecting me with hopium over the past couple days just so I could get to this point.
  17. I know. But it has been managed. I thought this was going to get us in 2022 but it didn't seem to. So I guess people waited a few years and THEN voted based on the inflation.
  18. I was just hoping to improve on Biden's 2020 vote in Texas, I didn't think we would win. I hoped that was pointing us forward but it might have been a high water mark. We'll see.
