Over the decades I've gotten good at not signaling to my wife that I'm reacting to something that I just read about UT football/athletics. Too much of our time and our money have gone to it. But when I saw Tarp say "hat in hand" I thought that might have been the moment Jesus finally called me home because I squawked like a parrot and choked on my dessert. After more decades than many here have seen, that might be the apotheosis of aggy. Holy. Shit. Imagine any conference not dying to have us. Imagine us having to beg. ahahahahahahaha

Shhhhhh, don't tell them stuff like this. We've almost got them tricked into getting rid of one of the few active coaches with a national championship!

A freedom-from-religion group is mad that a coach prays with his players?? WHAT!?!?!? lol

Sanders is an extremely interesting coaching prospect who is probably slightly more honest and well-intentioned than the average. But that's like discussing the virtues of whores in the whorehouse. It's fun to watch and I have zero concept of why people get so pissed off about him other than... you know... the obvious. (Gump-angrilly-tapping-on-Sumlin-portrait) Either that or some here actually believe the mainstream, nice quiet white boy coach horseshit who loves Jesus, mama, and puppies. Like people at the Royal Rumble who think it's real.

Wait wait wait... are you guys telling me a high-level football coach is largely full of shit, arrogant, dishonest, and someone who just recycles a lot of tired shit a lot of other coaches have done and said!? WHAT!? I demand an investigation.

Absolutely. I loved the trailer park gimmick and everything, but at some point you have to be a human. -

"SAY SOMETHING SPECIFIC!" - "100% guaranteed health care for everyone." "WHY WILL YOU NOT SAY ANYTHING?" Is there a specific policy you want me to talk about since that one apparently doesn't count even though I keep mentioning it? OK, come up with an aggressive and unified policy regarding guns that doesn't rely on terms like "assault weapon". Talk to Texans in realistic terms that demonstrate knowledge and intelligence. Focus on measurable facts and not scary words when discussing gun policy. And yes, the Republicans will be Big Meanieheads and lie, but the messaging will make a lot more sense once we actually have a unified policy. - Magazine capacities - Rate of fire restrictions - Physical interaction chambering vs. automatic chambering Have answers to the hard questions and be fearless in those answers. Ban the sale, manufacture, and import of all handguns and automatics (semi or full). Whatever it is, have a plan and sell it hard. What else? Taxes? OK fine, openly vilify the wealth of the top 0.5%. (Can't do that because our party's power elite desperately want that group's approval, security, money, and connections." Call out the monarchic nature of generational wealth and vigorously defend the estate tax; not just defend it but drastically increase it. -

People love Democrats who don't act like a pussy. That's the entirety of the "Dark Brandon" allure. In the 2016 Republican primaries I was very open that Jeb should've shoved Trump's podium over and challenged him to a fight. Democrats can't act like that, but Beto showed glimpses of what someone with some fire might actually look like. And I'm not even a Beto guy. -

Because those politicians said, "We're going to lower your taxes and keep your costs low for energy, gasoline, and the stuff you buy at the store. The other guy wants to raise your taxes. The other guy thinks you're a dumb piece of shit and I think you're great. He's not one of you, but I am. They think they're better than us, but they're not." Sure, there's some social fear-mongering, as well. But very few people who are out there walking around actually care about trans/LGBT people in the negative or positive. It's an invisible issue to the mainstream voter even though it seems to dominate online discourse. Similar for issues of race or even gender. The answer here isn't to ignore those issues, but to not put them at the top of your sales pitch if the people you're trying to sell don't really think about it or care about it. And then do all the good things you need to do once you have the power. I asked you what Texans want, you don't answer, and instead try to act like I'm avoiding the question? That's a weird one. Texans what what everyone wants: Money, healthcare, security, praise, attention, love, hope for the future, a bad guy to hate. They want someone who is invested in them. Tell them they're going to get 100% guaranteed healthcare for themselves and their kids. Go hard after everyone who opposes (friend or foe) and point out all the different ways those corporate jackals want your kid's life to be hanging in the balance of a GoFundMe. Attack. Dems CANNOT attack on that now because they are the ones who want people to have to use GoFundMe, so it's a pretty difficult problem for them. -

What do Texans want? If you believe Texans want slavery, female subjugation, and the murder of trans people, you're not a Texan, you're someone who lives in Texas but is obsessed with the coastal elites and their idiotic caricature of Texans. - What does this voter want? - What can I give them? - Swear publicly to give it to them. - Fight daily and with furious vigor to give those things to them. -

Marjorie Taylor Greene crawled out of a swamp and will end up on Mt Rushmore in 2036. Dems: "What we need is MORE post-graduate degrees." -

Why aren't Dems winning local/state elections? It's not me that thinks it needs to be done at the federal level, IT IS LITERALLY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY PLAYBOOK. Give up the vast majority of America to capture the urban centers. I quoted it for you from the Senate Majority Leader running the 2016 Democratic candidate's campaign. I didn't do this, bud, the party did. lol Yes, and that's good enough for the coastal elites, right? The intellectual class living in Manhattan, DC, Brooklyn, and (to a far lesser extent) LA. Done. That is the sum total of who this fucking party cares about when it comes to their national level leadership. The rest of these pond scum just aren't smart enough to know what's good for them! The Dems are losers. The evidence is plain and in our faces. Roe vs fucking Wade was overturned. Literally nothing will convince some of you. -

God, that "I'll wait" there at the end is darling. The Republicans haven't had any kind of supermajority in forever and are successfully forcing their unpopular agenda down our throats. Your retort is that the people are just supposed to continually gift the Dems supermajorities in the hope that maybe they'll try to do something one day? Is that how voting populations work? The only ignorance that needs to be fixed is within the Democratic Party power structure. Gerrymandering is a political issue the Democrats should be working to fix on a federal level and it's not an issue the people give a shit about; that's procedural shit. That's not what people want. That doesn't get them out of their seats. And if a politician can't get people out of their seats that is HIS fault, not the people's. The Democratic Party's inability to win elections while having a wildly popular platform is an indictment of THEM, not the voters. - Find out what the people want. (it's not gerrymandering reform, it's not identity politics, it's not unemployment stats, it's not smugness, it's not Twitter owns, it's not TV outrage about some ugly broad in a white fur coat) - Promise to give the people what they want. - Openly and viciously fight to get them what they want, screaming bloody murder at everyone (friend or foe) who stands in the way. And if you have to do procedural shit like SC court stacking or gerrymandering reform or voting procedure reform in the process, you just do that. That nerd shit is not why anyone cares about Dems even though the Dems themselves are soulless nerds. -

Win elections and then aggressively and ruthlessly use the power achieved after winning to get the things the base wants. Isolate and punish people within the party who work against the core values and needs. What does the Democratic base want? Promise them those things and viciously work to acquire them. (W voters online who became Dems when Ugly Donald was nominated: "The Democratic base wants to feel more educated than their Republican neighbors in the suburbs!") Chuck Schumer: βFor every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia.β 2017. Schumer ran Hillary's campaign that lost ton Donald. What do the cities want? What do blue collar workers want? What do all those gross, undereducated people who talk gross and don't even have Medium subscriptions want? Bread. Give them bread. -

It's not a hindsight issue. Some people who actually give a shit were screaming for it so hard that the liberal media establishment started publishing articles and thinkpieces about how Ginsburg had "earned" her right to retire whenever and everyone else could just get out of her way. Ginsburg (fuck this "RBG" gangster iconography bullshit) didn't care about her impact on the abortion question, and neither did the liberal establishment. The idea that she would be "haunted" by it is laughable. More liberal myth-making for their dead-eyed heroes. She was on the court with Alito and Roberts. She knew exactly what was coming. And her plan was to go die of COVID she caught at a public wedding she officiated for the children of insanely wealthy power players. That's how much women's reproductive rights were worth to that psychopath. -

Good point, we need to make sure we don't alienate even more W and Romney voters! -

The Dems ask for our votes and then collect salaries to prevent this. This is why we give them their power. The power they specifically ask for. The Republicans are very bad, we agree. But the Democrats are losers. And even THAT isn't a huge deal if they don't say dumb things like, "WE GET SHIT DONE!" when they absolutely do not get shit done. It's one thing to be a loser, it's another to be a loser but talk like a winner. GETTING SHIT DONE! -

It's cute to see that "actually get shit done" is still a Dem talking point after years of getting basically nothing done. We lost the SC and Roe was overturned. We lost the house to psychopaths, pedophiles, and people with false identities. What the hell has Pete Buttigieg ever done in his life to make "GET SHIT DONE" anything more than a joke? The Dem cares, more than anything else, about feeling superior to the Republican. Pete is great at enabling that. -

Sorry, I just didn't know what I was responding to. Every one of them was happy to knife universal healthcare in the back to protect corporate interests. I don't even care enough to hate them anymore. Enjoy cheerleading ghouls, I guess.
