I read some stuff on Mexican history years ago. It's complicated! 🀣 all that stuff after 1910 and the Zapatistas and the rest of it. I can't remember it.

if you read nothing else from rodger sherman in your entire life please read these paragraphs from the end of his newsletter, possibly the most important paragraphs anyone has ever written about Team USA

That's not a "counterpoint." You were just wrong. You have to do a "but! but!" and if I rebut that you will do it again.

Well your comment is useless. Pay me $5000 and I'll get you a complete statewide rundown.

I await your presentation of data.

This is Tarrant County since 2018. Most are way up on D side. I'd love to compile it in presentable ways but I have an actual job. 🀣 Many counties are recording record D primary turnout.

This is not "analysis." It is just data.

Not all Texas suburbs vote Republican and some are very competitive right now. Also, you don't know what you are talking about.

Lots of obnoxious commentary from people outside of Texas. Tired of it. Listened to both. One convinced me. One didn't.

As of yesterday, Midland County's democratic primary participation is 126% its FULL 2022 primary. There is still about a week to go. By contrast the GOP primary is only up to 36% of its 2022 total.

Screenshot from CHATGPT saying "Charlie Kirk has not been murdered and is alive. There is no confirmed, credible reporting of his death."

I asked ChatGPT to give me some background on the motive for Charlie Kirk's killer if known. I *DID NOT* ask if he was alive or if he was shot. IMy language saying clearly he had been murdered. This is what it said. It said Charlie Kirk was still alive... with emphasis.

Well maybe if a lot of journalists weren't stooges they wouldn't get criticized. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ At least they get criticized here for not being factual or for giving into silencing themselves. On Twitter they get attacked for being journalists.

Not sure I trust this without further information on methods. Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin (among others) do not have registration by party and they produce a bulk amount of American hockey players. Also, between 27 and 30% of NHL players are American if I read the stats correctly.

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.
