I want Texas to go blue just for the tears, same reason I kind of want Biden to win
Texas going solid blue would have the positive effect of probably getting the electoral college ended.
conservative tears are great, but the lib tears of pointing out the shitty shit Biden does for 4 years will be even better, cause i dont know any conservatives.
And then you compare what they said under Trump vs. under Biden and see how much they backpedal
If they really do take Texas that's gonna have some wild ramifications (in the world of bourgeois political parties)
I think he meant ramifications would be localized to the two big tent US parties (Dems and Repubs)
Trump clowns would absolutely lose it if he loses Texas lmao. Florida will be an interesting one too.
I nearly voted Biden just because of this. The absolute worst people love Texas for the wrong reasons.
I'm a Texan and I have voted in every presidential election since 2008 and my desire to kill myself has never deminished
Oh please for the love of god go blue. Whenever I browse conservative sites the comments inevitably blame californians for turning red states blue. It will keep chuds up at night and I want to see these losers cry.
Texas will go Dem when the last Gen X and Boomer fans of "Blue Collar Comedy Tour" have finally passed on
affluent Texas suburbs are perhaps THE beating heart of the Republican Party. I swear that the GOP and its media allies use this draw play of flipping Texas just to get the DNC to misallocate campaign resources there.
The 2018 midterms showed some promise, but unfortunately there are still areas in Texas where Republicans hold unique urban/suburban majorities found nowhere else in the country
This definition is good and I think it leaves Chicago and SF as the only two cities in the US.
EDIT: two things, don't dox yourself in the replies and really think if you can actually get around the city without needing a car.
Nyc is pretty good also. I can't really think of another one to be honest. Probably cuz they all sprang up after good year and standard oil killed city rail infrastructure
It's decent for an American city, but it's par for the course in most European ones. I don't think that Americans realize just how bad their public transit is.
I don't remember it being great, but it was as a tourist and 2 decades ago. OK, five cities, the US has 5 cities that don't require a car to get around.
Boston is pretty good mate. You could get to almost any part of the city via the T and there is also the possibility of using the busses which are both pretty affordable. Also, the T is expanding to cover more of the suburbs around boston making getting into the city nice and easy. It's telling that NYC, Boston and DC are linked by the only semi decent commuter rail line in the country.
Also also, the T has public boats that go places. No one else does.
No one else does.
I can find at least one public/city operated ferry in NYC, but the rest is cool to hear. Glad some US cities escaped being car hell.
Oh that's cool. We actually were in car hell for so long. We used to have horrible overpasses like LA but we buried them and made tunnels. Boston, being one of our oldest cities has cobblestones under most of the pavement. In some parts of Cambridge, we have roads where cars have to go 10mph lol.
Washington DC! I routinely walk from one end to the other, let alone bike, metro, etc.
Beto was basically the closest any dem got in like 25 years. If only he didn't listed to the pod save people and stayed in Texas. As for Texas flipping, I'll believe it when I see it.

Wheelchair Hitler, the chud lt. Governor, and the other asshat AG will likely be more belligerent in pushing for voter suppression in the coming years if Texas goes blue.
They won't be able to gerrymander it as they won't control the governorship or the state senate. I'm guessing it would probably end up with a court-drawn map.
I mentioned this in the megathread, but I kinda worry about Texas and Arizona deciding the election for Biden. That happens and you're gonna see some real mask-off racism from Trump and Republicans ("all those ILLEGALS voting!")
Hard to go much more mask off than they already are at this point tbh
I'm trying to figure out who's going to be more insufferable should their side win.
It'd be hella funny if they do flip texas blue, but then loose the election overall again
If only we had an updoot based democracy...
Texas is staying red, lmao. It's Texas, ffs.
