    Perhaps as a one-off it wouldn't have mattered, but a persistent effort to actively embrace perhaps the strongest part of the American electorate would have mattered. Or if not embrace, then at least not actively antagonize to get Internet claps from fractions of a micro-percentage. I'm not going to say Kamala is stupid for not going on Rogan, that's only something that looks dumb with the advantage of hindsight, but perhaps at some point the Democratic Party needs to keep the main thing the main thing and look at who their winning coalition is. Not the coalition that gives them the warm-fuzzies, but the winning one. I don't know how accurate these CNN numbers are, but it speaks to something very important, which is that we've jumped the shark on the flagellation of white people by liberals. Enough with this tired shit that doesn't even work. All of these voting bases are just voting bases that need to be enticed like any other. That's it.

    Gen X men talking about their lives as if it were Dazed & Confused should reflect on the deep and profound privilege they had at the time to be so certain that their futures were secured and that nothing in their lives mattered as much as girls and drugs. Not all generations had that certainty, including the current one we are all so superior to. Gen X doesn't really do much beyond stare at itself lovingly in the mirror, though. (Also, the implication that young men today are more socially regressive than young men were in the 60s-80s is hilariously stupid, but the rose-colored light reflecting off the mirror is forever blinding.) I would guarantee that the young men pulling levers for Trump are more socially progressive and open-minded than those who pulled the levers for Kennedy. The issue is not social. It's the economy, stupid.

    The idea that 16+yo men want to just get laid and booze and party their whole lives is not a description of the real lives of human beings but a telling of a Gen X pseudo-memory. A Gen X that sired these exact young men being lamented currently. Built these young men's' worlds around them and now loathe their creation for exactly what it was destined to become.

    It's not me the Democrats are trying to convince. They've got me. If what you're saying is true and the Democrats actually do care about working America and actually do help them, why, with all their billions and experts, are they so bad at convincing them? Is there an answer that doesn't involve us inflating our own sense of self and superiority?

    What is underlined is actually the complete and total truth. What is in bold is bullshit. Trump's horseshit resonates because the underlying truth, "the liberal/DC elites think you're trash", is true. Look at how far beneath us (we Internet liberals) we consider basically this entire country. Look at our patronizing ideology and our refusal to LISTEN to what this nation is telling us over and over and over and over again. Look at our dogged determination to write it all as a story about our Noble Open-Minded Beliefs vs their craven hatred and bigotry and ignore a $7.75 minimum wage, unattainable housing, and unaffordable healthcare. Maybe Trump didn't win because America is ready to don one giant Klan hood and lynch every minority. Maybe Trump won because his competition has nothing to offer America.

    trump is gonna put the election in a big 'ole bag and throw it over his shoulder then he'll tiptoe out of DC with big, exaggerated, high-knee steps, smirking silently

    I didn't get an "I Voted" sticker and I'm kind of pissed and anti-democracy now. Literally the only thing I get out of national voting in Texas is a sticker. Now I don't even get that. Thanks, Obama

    All I can think about, all day, is that our fan experience isn't like theirs. Stuck in traffic just punching the steering wheel about our lack of whoops and sways. WHY CAN'T WE WHOOP AND SWAY!?!?!?!

    Golden can look at his fucking QB and/or run his fucking route with some intention. Quinn looks to Golden, who is jogging his fucking route not even looking. No option there. Quinn progresses to Wingo, who is covered. Sacked. Yes, the OL and RBs need to do a better job blocking, as well, but Golden gets the ball in space if he bothers to look or actually runs hard enough off the snap to make the comeback make sense.

    There's nothing wrong with the majority of your throws being within 5 yards of the LOS. That's a smart way to play if your QB has a quick release, is accurate, and progresses quickly through reads (Quinn, at times, has all 3 of those tools). A 10-play drive of 4 runs, 4 short throws, and 2 longer shots is great as long as that drive scores. And whether or not that is a scoring drive is up to more than the QB (although he's #1 on the list). I don't think Sark is an idiot who is only playing Quinn because of politics. I don't think Sark cares that little about winning.

    LSU looks good. A&M looks stupid.
  15. bad_teammate
    Oh, gotcha
  16. bad_teammate
    We pay players now, so we shouldn't have to cater to these stupid gimmicks to get them to like us. Just write them checks.

    Winning as many games as possible this year. That's what's best for Texas. If this version of Quinn Ewers gives us a better chance of winning out, then he's the guy. Stop trying to play 8D chess.
  18. bad_teammate
    Whatever works will be fine with me, but I'd like to see us just beat them up as you describe. I care more about the OL proving themselves than Quinn and it would feel really good to just run it down their throats.
  19. bad_teammate
    Sure, which feels great right up until the playoffs.
  20. bad_teammate
    @ Vandy Florida @ Arkansas Kentucky @ A&M We could drop two of these if Quinn doesn't return to form. I don't think we will, though.

    All my friends on the Internet like @catfartsniffer on Twitter and @sergio391212 on Reddit are mad at my school! THIS IS A VERY BIG DEAL!

    Buffs are 5-2 Remaining games: vs Cincy (6-1) @ TTech (5-2) vs Utah (4-3) @ Kansas (2-5) vs Ok St (3-4) (Don't worry, the Big 12 Coach of the Year will turn 'em around!!)

    Not mad at the students at all. That was an insane call.

    Aggies are so absolutely small. Tiny little men. Miniature, thin-skinned, perpetually-offended munchkin humans. Always under threat. Always scared. There is so little to like about them. Basically nothing redeeming.

    I hope our NIL war chest is at least $30M. I hope it's 3x everyone else's and only grows bigger. I hope we have a completely unfair financial advantage and exploit it to the fullest. Please, A&M, announce to all upcoming athletes how rich and generous Texas is! PLEASE! Go from HS to HS and tell the football teams that Mean 'Ole Texas can make them rich beyond their wildest dreams. Fill their head with stories of burnt orange Lamborghinis and fat checks for flashing the Hook 'Em at car dealership openings. GO FOR IT, AGS! WHOOOOP!! We're buying it all, 5-stars! AND YOU CAN GET YOUR PIECE OF THE PIE IN AUSTIN!!!
