Back to top Most disgusting thing about modern society? Maybe not, but right behind being fat. I think we can thank social media influencers for all these micro trends and daily FOMO for the weak.
I dunno, I think writing and reposting AI slop articles is right up there.
re: New Democrat internal poll shows Paxton leading Talarico.

I don't do twitter, so couldn't click to read the data behind the numbers. I understand that the TX-09 was a single district, but did they sample the entire state or just that single district for the Senate numbers?
If only the first number is for TX-09, then this is a good poll for Paxton. That's not how I read it, but if the Senate and Gov numbers are statewide then I could see the optimism. I don't think they are though, the memo says stuff like "if the data from TX-09 translate statewide."
quote:
Comparing Trump numbers and anyone else’s numbers, all Republicans included, more or less, is a fool’s errand.
Yes, of course, so what does that mean in this context? If Paxton is indeed ahead by 1 in a district Trump won by 20, this is good news for Paxton because. . . What?
quote:
Because we were told by everyone that Trump won only because women, young voters, Hispanics and independents voted for him.
Then they said he lost all of them.
What is TX 09’s demographics?
Whatever the demographics of it are, Paxton is doing 19 points worse with those demographics than Trump did. So if it is in fact heavily women young voters and hispanics (and Trump didn't win any of those, he just did better than Republicans usually do), then Paxton is doing way worse with them.
Do you legitimately not understand what it means if a +20 district is now polling at +1? Again, maybe polls are fake, especially in-house Dem polls, but if they are not and this holds up Paxton is going to get destroyed.

Dire?
Paxton has been behind in nearly all polling until now.
It's a poll in one congressional district. That district was Trump +20 in 2024. Paxton is up by one. I literally cannot understand how people could say, or claim to believe, that is a good sign for Paxton. The "tarzana" poster is generally full of shite but seriously what is the take that this is a good sign for Paxton? Even worse, presumably it's being pushed because it's one of the only polls to be found that has Paxton ahead at all.
If you want to fall back on "all polls are fake," fine, but if you are pushing this poll to show something what it shows is Paxton is in trouble.
re: Imagine toppling Iran, with ~20 US soldiers killed

Every loss of life hurts, but that would be quite a number. About 1,000 Americans have been killed in attacks attributed to Iran or Iran-backed groups since the 1979 Iranian Revolution
Iran is not done yet, but siege warfare is undefeated when you can accomplish it.
I guess I'll have to imagine it, since it isn't happening at the moment.
Also, in what sense are we waging "siege warfare" on Iran? We're engaging in economic warfare and isolation, maybe even kind of a blockade, but we haven't blocked their borders or even their sea routes as far as I know. We certainly haven't surrounded any of their cities with military forces, which is what an actual siege is.
And I think if you ask "is trade warfare undefeated when you can accomplish it," the answer is "no."

People so easily forget two years ago. If the Marxist left get back in power it’s gonna get soooooo much worse.
So maybe that would have been a good reason to not start an unsuccessful war that is radically increasing the chances they get back in power, no?
The crazy thing about this poll is not that young people care more about their own lives in America than about Israel, it's that boomers and Xers remain brainwashed into thinking that we should continually put Americans through hardship and expensive wars for "our greatest ally," who gives us nothing and gets us into no end of troubles we don't need and can't afford.

Iran's Islamic Republic having nukes would be a 1000 times worse than North Korea. The only way that will actually prevent that is regime change.
"If we determine that you have a nuke, we will nuke you."
Would work and be much cheaper and less of a quagmire than yet another stupid "regime change" war. And we can't even win this one.
And if your response is, "but how would we know if they have a nuke?" well, then how can we know they're "two weeks away from getting a nuke!"

If you prove that she married someone who was not her brother you have disproven that she married her brother, genius. If you prove that the moon is made of rock you have disproven that the moon is made of cheese. Etc.
Maybe master some basic logic before you throw around fancy words like "hence" and such.

How do you disprove something that didn't happen?
In this case:
Prove she was married.
Prove who she was married to.
Prove that person was not her brother.
Seems fairly easy to either disprove, or confirm.

Generic ballot R47 D46
It's very hard to square this with Hinojosa being ahead of Abbott when no one has heard of her, he has way more money and Abbott has been generally successful. It makes no sense. (I could see Paxton underperforming the generic because he's a bad candidate.).
So the poll seems questionable.

I couldn’t care less what Trump has or hasn’t done so far.
Most voters and most especially the sort of voters who make the difference in elections don't have this sort of weird, blind devotion. They care what the party they vote for actually does and does not do. If it keeps its promises, and makes things better for them, they reward it with continued support. If it doesn't, they don't. "It will be so much worse under the other guys" is usually not a winning argument. That was basically the Biden/ Harris strategy, and look how well it worked for them.

Would just like to point out that Godwinson fought and beat Harald Hardrada at Stamford Bridge 3 weeks before Hastings, taking heavy losses, after having marched from London up there, then marched back down in 2 weeks, and still nearly won at Hastings. So him.
