  2. I don’t see any evidence that Tim Scott benefited from black voter support in material excess of a genericRepublican. He won in South Carolina with white support. And both Texas and South Carolina has elected female governors. Texas problem isn’t a uniquely terrible electorate. Our problem is a uniquely broken state Democratic Party.
  3. Actually I don’t agree. If South Carolina can elect a black man, Texas can elect a black woman. But she would have to run a great campaign which JC hasn’t so far.
  4. No doubt! But the point is that any election at any leverage is inherently an electibility contest. If you don’t win the primary you don’t get to be in the general, and only the voters get to decide what matters. So, the idea that “electability” is somehow deeply coded racism in the context of a democratic primary in Texas 2025 is bullshit. Electability matters! We’re in an existential crisis and Dems haven’t won a statewide election in 30 years. Maybe she should have mounted a campaign…
  5. Those people don’t vote in Democratic primaries. I mean come on people. This isn’t a fucking question. It’s a electability contest. That’s what a fucking primary election is.
  6. Hillary Clinton ran this play in 2008. It didn’t work. And let’s be really clear here- if they won’t come out for Talarico, did they come out for Colin Allred or Kamala Harris? Crockett’s entire argument right now is that she’s so famous and popular she doesn’t need to mount a campaign for the nomination, but that her fans will only support her and nobody else. Ok, great. Let’s see those supporters beat Talarico. If they can’t, I’m not worried about them putting Paxton or Hunt into office either. The bottom line is that you are what the election says you are. If she can’t beat JT, she can’t beat Paxton. And likewise if JT can’t beat her.
  7. The demographics have been there for 25 years. It didn’t play out that way because 1) there’s no such thing as a Hispanic voting bloc and 2) Democrats institutionalized losing over that period. That said, Texas will not be flipped by “driving up turnout” or bringing low propensity voters to the polls. Two things will flip Texas at the statewide level: 1) winning percentage 60%+ of persuadable whites and Hispanics, ie the 8-10% of the electorate that are true “swing voters” who don’t identify with a party 2) low turnout among Trumpy low propensity voters and rural voters.

  9. Colin Allred’s next bench press video is gonna be 🔥🔥🔥
  10. You laugh, but Porter Wagoner was the coldest to ever do it:
  11. He seemed like he had some principles, like a commitment to actually have a competitive free market and not just pick winners like Perry did. Also I thought, being an alum, he might protect UT. I've been watching him closely for 30 years and I still don't understand why anyone ever thought that Greg Abbott was something other than a creature of pure ambition. When the way to ascend was to be a transparency/good government hawk, he did that. When the way to ascend was to be a compassionate conservative, he played that character. When the way up was to be an asshole, or to be anti-abortion, or basically ok with weed, or to pretend the national guard was maybe turning walmarts in Bastrop into prison camps, he did those things, and a lot more too. Abbott wants to be president, or failing that to be AG or a supreme court justice, and his path is through whatever a plurality of the Republican base wants at any given moment. His core principal, if he can be said to have one, is "up."
  12. He should do Abu Ghraib next

  14. Yes they have that in common with most ARs. But, I disagree that FRTs are better than binary triggers. They do different things. FRTs are useful for fun-dumping ammo. Binary triggers are useful for shooting things accurately in controlled pairs.
  15. Just another example of how Texas gun culture has become totally performative and ALL of the accountability and personal responsibility we were all raised with has been thrown out for politics. This limey shoots his own daughter dead, when he retrieves his loaded Glock to show her while under the influence of alcohol, during an argument about guns that followed an argument about Trump. Collin County didn’t even charge him with manslaughter because what’s a little oopsie between us hobbyists right? He didn’t know it was loaded or that it could “just go off.” https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/2023527733863792945
  16. Jesus. And these are the people moving to North Texas for the “conservative values”: alcoholic dipshits who want to own guns without bothering to learn how to handle them responsibly. An accidental shooting while under the influence of alcohol in the midst of an argument and in Collin County DIDN’T EVEN CHARGE HIM WITH MANSLAUGHTER. Oopsie!
  17. Today the Kentucky Mama Bear who spent December of 2020 talking about election machines in Georgia re-posted this on Facebook. IT BEGINS!!!
  18. An important correction - it's not Scotch-Irish. It's Scots-Irish. The Scots-Irish do not share a common culture with The Irish or the English, nor is Musk referring to them. The Scots-Irish were protestant farmers and coal miners who were migrated from Scotland into northern ireland in the 18th C by their English lairds to till the crops and buffer the Ulster Plantation from the less domesticated south. From there some migrated to Appalachia and the near-west to work the mines, till the crops, and buffer English-owned coastal plantations from the wilderness. It's the same way and around the same time that Scots came to dominant the non-commissioned ranks of the British and Royal charter company armies in The Crown's various colonies and territories and clients around the world. The assertion that an American common culture springs from that group is too absurd to talk about, but the implication is extremely troubling, not the least of which is at the end of the day he's talking about a permanent subject underclass culture to serve a permanent overclass.

  20. I would like to be crystal clear here: I do not support most of Mamdani’s housing agenda other than the parts that would increase the supply of market rate housing. Everything else is counterproductive and would make housing more expensive at the market level. But , “literally millions” wouldn’t die, either. Speaking as both a professional capitalist and an ideological price discovery absolutist, we don’t need doddering partisan seniors beclowning themselves on our behalf.
  21. Hey @Wulaw Horn you used to bang this drum - what’s the excuse?
  22. Remember when the lawyers on Hornfans like @washparkhorn didn't understand why Leegin was such a big deal? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
