  1. And? There have been lots of election post mortems that show that the people who pay attention to government and politics most were in support of Harris and the Ds....those people are still paying attention to government and politics and showing up while the masses eat their WWE soundbites behind their computer screen Before we get into why Democrats lost the 2024 election, let’s talk about how they lost it: Which voting blocs shifted the furthest right over the past four years? The most important thing is that we saw incredible polarization on political engagement itself. There’s a bunch of different ways to measure this: There’s how many elections you vote in, or how important politics is to your identity. There’s how closely you follow the news. But across all of these, there’s a consistent story: The most engaged people swung toward Democrats between 2020 and 2024, despite the fact that Democrats did worse overall. Meanwhile, people who are the least politically engaged swung enormously against Democrats. They’re a group that Biden either narrowly won or narrowly lost four years ago. But this time, they voted for Trump by double digits. And I think this is just analytically important. People have a lot of complaints about how the mainstream media covered things. But I think it’s important to note that the people who watch the news the most actually became more Democratic. And the problem was basically this large group of people who really don’t follow the news at all becoming more conservative. https://www.vox.com/politics/403364/tik-tok-young-voters-2024-election-democrats-david-shor
  2. Correct, if an election was discovered to be stolen after the stealer took office really the best course of action would be a Watergate style investigation that pushes Congress (I know I know) from there. It's hard to take this seriously (just like it was hard to take the last one seriously) when the stories only come from fringy places. Mainstream journalism may be very diminished from what it was in the 70s but if any of this stuff had real teeth there would be some young Woodward and Bernstein on it at some mainstream publication. Bezos doesn't own them all 😎
  3. Lotta people showed up to Kamala rallies also.....so we'll see.
  4. Was on a Capital Murder (not seeking death penalty) case back in 2016 and came away with the same sentiment.
  5. It’s time buddy…it’s time
  6. All the sports programs at Keller use the indoor when weather dictates. But the biggest user of that facility is the band.
  7. Yea maybe HPSlugga or something like that
  8. Got a kid who is in his Sr year winding down his baseball career. Enjoy it while it lasts guys and don't sweat any of the stuff before HS age....it DOES NOT MATTER. Grow in the game, compete, have fun. That's it.
  9. Brooks was here
  10. Strikes me as more of a mansierre guy.
  11. The dude is really into science and a former NASA engineer so a good chance he was already thought of in that capacity.
  12. Ted is a big believer in second chances. Maybe Rupert has bought into Women's Soccer to try to rehabilitate his leacherous image, and he hires Ted to coach in the same league where the fledgling AFC Richmond Women's soccer side competes. I love me some Ted Lasso, but there must be more than just him going back to coach Rebecca's side.
  13. I know they are not the same as they used to be during the Roman days but it's always good to beat those Chelsea fuckfaces.
  14. Keller is actually a pretty old district. First founded in the early 1900s. Some of those schools were pretty old and rancid.
  15. Wrong. That bond failed years ago.
  16. Like a slab of bacon?
  17. Yes, but a lot of it has to do with the audience. Kind of like mac and cheese; it's a strong comfort food. I love me some mac and cheese, but I don't want to eat it all the time. I also don't want to listen to somebody tell me shit I already know, or confirm my bias for me all the time. All this red above has an audience: people who simply want to be fed mac and cheese over and over until they die.
