This is the heresy that inspired the Democratic establishment to band together behind Biden against Bernie during right before Super Tuesday 2020. They very much do not fucking want to make this about class. Race? Sure. Gender? Sure. LGBTQIA? Sure. Economic class? Stop right there, pal. They're better than the alternative, but don't start thinking too much.
I voted for Talarico because when I rolled up to the polling place I saw that sign of Crockett in a cowboy hat and it looked dumb. Talarico's sign just had his name on it or whatever. Genuinely did not care which one and I had originally planned on just counting the signs and voting for whoever had the most. #EducatedVoter #Engaged #Democracy #LoveItorLeaveIt (If there was a sign with that nerd Talarico with a hat on I would've voted Republican just out of spite.)
I'm going to curl up with the Big Book of Statewide Dem Victories in Texas the Last Ten Years tonight and educate myself. I'll do you one better, brother, I'll go back 30 years! I don't know if one night is gonna be enough, though, to learn all about these powerful and victorious campaigns! The reality is that the last people in the world I want to fucking listen to about winning strategies is Democrats. They will get my vote as they literally always have (I liked barefoot and he was damned to lose to that bastard Tower) and I hope they all win and we blue wave these fascist fucking pricks out of office, but what they absolutely have no god damned right to do is lecture anyone about what winning takes. They don't know shit about that and it shows. And I'm too old and been whipped too many times to pretend I know what makes a shit, either... But since I am still male which means I think I know things and think others need to hear it... me and my kind (which is y'all) are the worst fucking demographic to try to play to in this state. We can stroke our dicks about the racist and sexist Mexicans all day long, but the reality is that women in general are way more swingable, both in elections and in bed. So if all these women in our lives are telling us they like Crockett, maybe we shut the fuck up and listen instead of patting them on the head. They might be onto something. Talarico, Crocket... y'all decide. I'll vote for whoever and lose like I've done for 30+ years.
Are yours? I know you guys love this guy to death because he was mom's best son and we were all also mom's best son, so finally the Goodest Good Boy is being recognized, but it's just a question about why I'm supposed to believe this guy has some electability X-factor over Crockett. I think the most substantive thing I've seen is a bunch of fellow white guys agreeing that Mexicans are too racist to vote Crockett? You don't have to remind me to vote for Democrats, bud, I was doing that when you guys were all College Republicans. Also funny is all of us guys patiently telling all these women who want to vote for Crockett that Crockett can't win.
Is Talarico actually more substantive? I don't post as much as you guys or even follow this shit as much as you guys but from what little I've seen is that this guy is kind of a Mayor Pete? He's a Christian do-gooder and that's supposed to fucking matter because he is a better Christian than them and they should feel shame? Like they give a single god damned fucking shit about shame or consistency or honesty? Who does a goodboy Christian liberal even fucking play to? Who is that audience? I'm not trying to hate on Talarico, but if he's the fucking straight Mayor Pete then WHO THE FUCK CARES!? If you're pissed at Crockett's potentially forthcoming-nom for being idpol then what even are you other than the slightly-more-morally-superior-MAGA? #respectfully Not pointed at you, Horndog, honestly. I just honestly don't get why so many people give a fuck about this low-T guy who is owning the Republicans with logic and humble-Christian-guy schtick. #respectfully I'm ready to be Talarico-pilled. Please hit me, CloakRoom.
And where are you, my dusky cousin (if I am not much mistaken), relative to so many of your hermanos in our beloved USA on the wealth scale? And me compared to my actual whiteboy cousins from eastern/southern TX? How did we get there? To what extent do we actually values-integrate and culturally-integrate with our raisin'? I might be wrong. I'm probably not. How much MORE stratification would unbridled wealth lead us to? How much further from our roots would we grow? An evil man doesn't wake up thinking himself evil. This is right in line with my conversation with Brisket. Hitler didn't go to bed saying, "Well, Eva, another day of evil and villainous behavior tomorrow." No. He was doing it all for the good. As would we all. So you are a autistic weirdo like Dario Amodei of Anthropic and you have wealth and power beyond imagine... the huddled masses provide an opportunity for you to create ego boost beyond measure. Vanderbilt fuckin' University is named after an insanely rich man who just gave money. The masses will suck you off all day and sing your Hosannahs to the heavens and all you need to do is smile upon them and bestow them with meaningless percentages. You have the wealth, the power, and the LOVE of the people. I yell about the liberals, but god damnit they are exponentially better than the fascists. Look at this fuckin' guy
