You’re free to disagree. The US is a big place, I’m sure there are some exceptions out there. But I think generally my point is correct.

In the US, even the denser populated areas are still sprawling, car-dependent wastelands. Actual, healthy, walkable cities are few and far between, and are almost always reserved for rich people.

Sucks how our quality of life has been made inversely proportional to the health of the environment. Most of us have been locked in to fossil fuel dependence whether we like it or not.

Voting is primarily a harm reduction tool. It might be able to treat the symptoms in the short term, but it can do nothing to cure the disease in the long term. The chief motive of those in power will always be to preserve or expand their power, hence their motives ultimately contradict ours. Their authority is our oppression. The liberation of the working class will only occur once we attain mass class consciousness and liberate ourselves.

Ossoff WTF are you doing!?

As a normie Linux user, AI chatbots absolutely have helped me work out some annoying technical problems in the past. Hate to admit it, but there you go.

Texan here. Buccees is WILDLY overrated. Their food used to be really good but they’ve apparently cut costs on it and now are no better than any other fast food place. They’re just a glorified, gimicky gas station. Restrooms are always clean though.

They’re massively overrated anyway. Just a glorified gas station. Their food used to be top notch, but they have since cut costs and now they’re no better than any generic fast food place. Restrooms are kept clean. That’s all they have going for them.

Texas generally has gas prices cheaper than the national average. It always shocks me when I go to other states.

The one Republican Senator, Ted Cruz, was not up for reelection. Hopefully we’ll be rid of him soon too.

With respect, I think you’re wildly underestimating the ignorance and obstinance of Republican voters in the US. Have you ever interacted directly with a MAGA, evangelical Christian? Their hatred, arrogance and ignorance are genuinely baffling to behold. They live all around me, I interact with them every day, and not even I understand why they are the way they are. Despite all the valid issues you raised, still millions of them voted down party lines yesterday. A couple of Democrat wins would have been shocking, but the full sweep we got is just… there’s no word to describe how incredible it is.

If it’s any consolation; we get Democrat presidents. But a blue Texas? We haven’t had that in over thirty years. We’re allowed to be optimistic, hell my mental health needs it at this point. That doesn’t mean we should become docile and naive, there is still lots of work to be done. But for now, I’m going to take a break and celebrate.

Thank you! Bunch of cynical armchair analysts in here. I’m a Texan. Anyone who’s downplaying these election results don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about. This is huge for us. No, it’s not full-blown anarcho-communism, but God damn let us celebrate our much-needed, long overdue W!

As a Texan, I don’t fully agree. Talarico isn’t perfect, but I’ve not in my lifetime ever seen a pro choice, pro LGBTQ, pro workers rights Republican. Texas, fucking finally, just voted for all three. This IS a sign of progress, and hopefully some healing.

Pay to win.

That’s just Capitalism though.

Beautiful.

I always rooted for the Silver Snakes, who never won. Lol. And the final obstacle course was BS, hardly any of those little kids could finish it.

YouTube: Where a bigoted Christian can go on a transphobic tirade, but I’m the one who gets in trouble for telling them to fuck off.

Yes. We know. This is old news. Let me know when something is fucking done about it.
