Texas Paul is ridiculous. (Texan speaking.) Talarico's relation to race is secondary at best. He is speaking a language of issues Texans care about and is not trying to import coastal D attitudes and issues. That's his strength.

While I'm not on about AIPAC, the attitudes that Texas Paul pushes are part of the problem Democrats have.

Jeffries as leader and incrementalism is how we got in this mess. Upheavel calls for change. That is the lesson of history over and over. Folks like Paul don't want to hear that.

Classic false dilemma. Straight out of a sophomore logic textbook. Very disappointed in your doubling down rather than being open minded and trying to learn.

Part of the reason we are in this mess is because so many people promote the modes of thinking you espouse. Ask every moderate Republican. You try to claim this is "how things work" but your view is a poor student of history.

The reality is and has always been that times of
upheavel are the time to make changes reflecting that. History is littered with the debris of groups pretending they can increment away change that has already occurred. Keeping Jeffries repeats those historical misreads. Uninformed take, Paul. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

I still haven't heard the argument as to why he should be speaker. If you strip away his current role, he is just another guy talking and not a good one at that. Anyone? Bueller? McFly?

I'm sure other phenomenon like proliferation of smart phones, social media, and online content has nothing to do with it.

That's mid term to mid term. I wonder what 24->26 is.
I early voted today and at the polling place Ds had voted over 2x GOP. Also, GOP was old white when we were there. D was all over. W, black, hisp, asian, young, old.

That may be so but that was not a decider in the election.

this raises an important question, is there a way to raise a flag to super-mast levels

I'm in Texas and that's ridiculously dumb.

That's your ploy for this month.
"Last month my husband brought up [insert political topic] and he said [insert his opinion badly described]."

Meanwhile in Plano, #Texas. I've got a feeling this won't be the first round of this.

assuming these stats may or may not be accurate. But gender alone usually has stronger correlations once accounted for.

Some economists (so I read not being one myself) say that signs are slow then economic crisis is very sudden and rapid. That does not help anxiety levels.

I saw Beto speak at an event last night. His organization is getting younger voters fired up and registered. He got the crowd going. He is doing great work.

Well, I don't agree with your take but that's OK. We don't have to agree.
