  1. Or do what they did with Lee high school in San Antonio: Legacy of Educational Excellence (LEE) High School
  2. I’d support ‘kill all the billionaires and let god sort them out’ if I thought it would play…,, But do we really think eat the rich works when the rich control the means of distribution when it comes to news, attention, and influence?
  3. All people that are regular. As in people aren’t billionaires, pay a mortgage or rent, have kids in school, etc. Talk to people about what they are experiencing…. Not who they are. Maybe I’m not being clear in my message but that’s what I feel is a better strategy. But maybe that’s part of being white? Thinking that you can decouple identity from experiences…. I recognize this could be a blind spot. 🤷🏼‍♂️
  4. Really? Idk man. Pretty sure the last election was heavily focused to GOTV for white women, college educated, and elitist republicans offended by MAGA. Regular folks were told that they needed to care about democracy and that the economy was amazing. Inflation was treated like the man behind the curtain who the great Oz told us not to pay attention to. 2020 was a race to the wokest until Clyborn (spelling?) decided that he wasn’t playing that and told everyone that Biden was the nominee. 2008,2012, and 2016 all leaned heavily on identity politics. So when you say that democrats have been messaging towards ‘regular folks’ I just don’t see it. Its always with a qualifier. Single moms, black families, college educated voters, working class, young women, etc. The message needs to be broader. Because if everyone can see themselves in it, then you win. I can’t actually tell you what Texas democrats believe in.

    Getting old sucks

    Damn. But feel you. Went skiing during spring break in Utah. Not even the highest mountain I’ve skied. But dammit if I didn’t get a really bad case of altitude sickness. About as bad as I’ve had on a mountain. I’ve always been susceptible and I even gave it a day before I went to the mountain but literally the second lift we take up (on the mountain for roughly 15 minutes) I get crazy nauseous. I puke off the lift…. Probably something like 5 really good projecting times or so with a subsequent 3-5 unsatisfactory dry heaves. didn’t last more than 2 easy blue runs before I had to call it quits because I became seriously light headed and almost passed out.
  6. Everyone knows the crazy shit goes down at the Waco Twin Peaks bro.
  7. Better looking Democratic JD Vance has some good points. But no one wants to be lumped into ‘working class people’. Everyone thinks of themselves as able to become rich if they only had a fair shake. So don’t shit on their dreams. We need to be the party of ‘regular people’ and ‘regular Texans’. Regular people become extraordinary all the time in literature. Play to that. Play to people’s hopes and ego. Stop saying we’re the Democratic Party. We’re Texas Democrats. We stand for regular Texans who are a different breed. Regular Texans who want strong schools not selfish ‘school choice’. Regular people don’t have a billion dollars to buy politicians. Regular people want mothers, sisters, and daughters to have healthcare. Regular people think that kids shouldn’t go hungry or without healthcare either Church that shit up with Jesus and the like if you want. Stop with identity politics and appeal to the ‘regular folks’.
  8. This. The man left office with the worst economic record in a century, attempted a coup, and led a violent insurrection…. And was elected back to the same office. He was widely seen as the more trust worth candidate who was better for the economy. The American people are dumb, distracted, and desperate.
  9. All those GenZ men just starting out who ‘couldn’t’ Get a job or a girl friend and thought Trump was the answer….. Try getting either one of those in a recession. Great job guys. Signed- Someone old enough to have been an adult during multiple recessions and who had real life shit at stake / lost their job during Covid. PS:
  10. Everyone knows the American century was made possible by expanding the role of the federal government that then led to the US becoming the dominant economic power in the world as well as the advancement of rights for minorities, women, and working people. Our political philosophy purposes, what if we didn’t? /federalistsociety
  11. Ojos Locos is a better option anyway
  12. He really meant a day by saying ‘24 hours.’ And he never specified which planet that day would be on. A Venus day is 225 earth days. /Karoline Levitt
  13. It’s almost as if he doesn’t make wise decisions which is shocking considering he was raw dogging … checks notes… an insta model and thinking she’d take 100k for an abortion. You would have expected more coming from such a strategic thinker.
  14. I can’t wait for the Texas tribune article about his posts on Texags about the plans to take the Panama Canal.
  15. I agree with more than I thought. However, I see some major flaws in this new right thinking when we start to get to issues of defense, multipolar world, spheres of influence, and American influence. Actively choosing to go to a multipolar world like an early 20th century Europe / colonial empires is lunacy. It’s like all these sunsetting boomers, gen x thinkers, and older millennials thought history died and ended when the internet was invented. We’ve seen the script before folks. Yes you have to think of the future, but abandoning the idea of liberal democracy, liberal economic theory, and the idea of the equality / self determinate nation states is throwing the baby out with the bath water. The pace of technology changes, the internet, social media, and now AI has so warped our brains that ‘move fast and break things’ has taken over all facets of our lives. God help us when we need cool headed thinkers, compromise, and rationality.
  16. How are they scoring this shit hits?! Last two plays were errors
  17. Defense giving this shit away
  18. That’s an error and not a hit
