If you don't live in Texas, you may as well not even vote in 2028. It is now the only "swing state" that matters. If you lose texas, there is no path to victory. There is absolutely zero chance you are going to turn cali, new york or illinois red. It's never gonna happen. The GOP cannot recover from losing texas demographically. It is over.
They're just going to go even harder on the spic vote and try and get them like Cubans in miami
>>545755174democrats have already won 2028 because they are going to remove the electoral college
>>545755174cali has been growing red at a pretty steady rate. red wave will happen there the next time dems fuck up.
>>545755174Texas deserves every minute of it lol
Democracy has failed the citizens, only one path remains.
>>545755174>youBut they did a redistricting all through out Republican states.... is Trump and his MAGA cabinet, actually deep state Democrat operatives?
Texas is finally going to get bike Lanes. Republicans btfo.
Has voting ever accomplished a single good thing in human history?
>>545755174republicucks can get tejas back if they put mexican candidatos forward. unfortunately they're racista old fucks so they will never get it back :-)
>>545755550Most of Texas is so hot they need to put playgrounds indoors lol nobody is riding their bikes 20 miles to the nearest Walmart, they have lifted diesel trucks they pay $2k a month for to do that
>>545755174Can't wait to hear your excuse in 2028 when it flips right back
>>545755677Mexicanas crave BWC
>>545755174The demographic loss was always inevitably going to finish the Republicans but nobody did shit about it and here we are
>>545755932>we
>>545755394Remove the electoral collegeInstitute ranked choice votingSuddenly third parties are viable
>>545755394They would need a supermajority (67 votes) to pass anything like that
>>545756081Yeah did you know all your toxicity is spreading all over the world now
>>545756177I hope it would take more than that
>>545756229You mean McDonald’s?
The problem with texas is that it's pretty barren except for the cities, and democrats are real good at shitting up urban areas.The number of californians alone to migrate there over the last decade is a death knell for that being a red state. Sorry for the slow replies. I'm an oldfag and these new captchas are very retarded
>>545756325Basically zoomer culture is universal now and so is the tribal politics stuff and just people being niggers in general.. the world used to have a bunch of unique cultures but no more. Even you guys swinging left makes the world swing left.To be fair though you did spread antisemitism and that's appreciated
>>545756392Yeah probably pretty unsuitable land for white flight to the outer suburbs
>>545756105The third parties are all shit.Putting one of them in charge would be a disaster if it were not a gradual shift.
>>545756177They have some compact to basically rig it
>>545756464They only build metro areas outward from the urban sprawl. I don't see that changing anytime soon. I definitely dont see a surge of red voters moving to texas either. The political landscape is pretty cooked if you arent a libtard.
>>545755174pic relatedfuck off we're full
>>545755596Fair point. If voting mattered the way people think it does, we wouldnt be allowed to do it.
I hope Texas being blue will make something happen. The muh freedom lone star state should decriminalize prostitution, draw in tourism from the red shitholes.
>>545756717Florida has gone red sure but that means nothing if texas is blue.
>>545756392>oldfag>new captchas are very retardedgood news on the shitty captchas. get enough right and it goes down to solving one. I got a new pc and had to deal with it again recently.the trick to blast through them, report all the fucking trolling outside of /b/ and off-topic threads when the board is total shit (every moment) it will help youa. get better at themb. work you through enough until you are down to only solving one (or none)>>545756951we have a lot of texas transplants here like they do caliwali faggots
>>545755174You won tranny!
>>545755174But ask yourself if democrats will seek to end war with Russia or if that forever war and the economic consequences are good? Democrats cannot meaningfully fix anything or reduce spending, they can only change the beneficiaries of that spending. Beyond my thoughts on Ukraine this isn't an ideological lens but a mathematical one. For the same reason I suspect a bailout for wallstreet to likely include AI companies is coming despite what was campaigned on by democrats. Consider how much demographics matter if all voting is just rage voting. They'll print money until their hands bleed, filter it to their preferred constituents until the exponentially increasing inflation hits everyone else not on the dole. If its slow and steady we get political upheavels every election and little too fast and you get something much worse. The biggest tragedy is we can't eject Trump out of office now though he'll be blamed as Biden was for years and some cases rightfully so. If I'm wrong I welcome an offramp to oblivion we are speeding towards. If I'm right, the crisis's get worse and worse and in six years time what Trump did will not be enough for a scapegoat. They will be awarded the rank of captain of a sinking ship, they will double back on their principles except immigration because they hate American labor and the torches will turn round again. Every single rotation they'll get a little bit closer to the incumbent party.
>>545755174yeah they said the same thing about florida too. I know this is your first election. but this is going to happen again in reverse in 8 years.tldr: zoomers first election cycle
>>545755481Republicans* have failed the citizens
>>545756640Yeah obviously I've never been there but it seems to be woke with big hats and too fucking hot to do anything without climate control
>>545755174It already is. Texas, like Canada, is now virtually identical to India. That's how it went blue to begin with and it's why it will stay blue. Same playbook that cost us California, Republicans selling out their own voters with leftist immigration policies in exchange for the election losses they want.
She will fuck texas up so bad even raza will turn on her. Screen cap this chavalas!
I live in Texas but instead of "voting" to save the country I'm getting the fuck out and becoming a forever tourist with my remote IT job. Fuck America, it's dead and beyond saving and no Republican or Democrat will ever fix it. I no longer care
>>545756105No, they are not. It's almost illegal to have a third party that operates as a coherent party.https://jwmason.org/slackwire/political-parties-are-illegal-in-the-united-states/
>demographicscope, they voted for Trump 2 years earlier. And there were deportations in the meantime, weren't there? Not just that, Trump won there by higher margin in 2024 than 2016. How does that make sense, if Biden flooded it with brown people and demographics made Texas now blue?
>>545755174The mighty badass Texas has fallen. Something we were all assured by every Texas fag would never happen. So what have we learned here? Anything?
>>545758121Yes, for two years before that, and likewise winning in a landslide, Democrats failed their citizens for four years. Democrats wish erroneously to go back to the liberal democratic world order that got Trump elected in the first place and this afterkneecapping the tech and financial sectors IE the only things in the economy that made that system kind of function. We can't go back because we don't produce anything the world likes and some of the things necessary to change that are things democrats openly fought republicans on like tariffs. Trump only accelerated a process thats been in effect for decades. Democrats either know its a failing endevour and are lying or are too incompetent to understand the world has in fact changed. Ousting Orange man will not on its own save the country.
>>545758684Texass has always been a big litter box full of turds
>This was a referendum on the favorability of leftist ideas>Not a referendum against Trump's broken promisesBroomstick with a "(D)" next to it would have run a competitive race. Democrats will be their insufferable selves for a hot minute, then everyone will hate them again. Hopefully, MIGA maggots get jailed in the process.
>>545759134Faggot
>>545758457If Aoc decides to run, she will get the nomination easy and win Texas. Easily. There isn’t anyone on the republican side who can counter. She’d get the women vote, the coomer vote, senior vote and Hispanic vote. Old white men like Latina women with tiny waist and big boobs. Let’s be honest. Look at Sarah palin. The milf vote is real
>>545759668She's white though. Check wikipedia :P
>>545759800Sarah, not AOC obviously
>>545759423Your bbq sucks too
>>545759668>latina women with tiny waistgot bad news for you these spic chicks start swelling in their 20sin 2 years she will be the size of a small car
>>545755174Stopped by the local dive bar tonight...the kind with work trucks filling the lot. Normally it's an echo chamber, but the room hit completely different tonight. This place is as blue collar as it gets...Hank was staring at his gas receipt like it was a medical bill. "over four bucks a gallon," he muttered, slinging his cap on the bar. "He swore up and down we’d be under two dollars. My truck’s eating my whole paycheck."Smokey Rick, who hasn't taken off his red hat in ten years, didn't even defend it. "He promised to keep us out of foreign messes," Rick said, shaking his head. "Now we’re dragged into another war overseas, gas is spiking because of it, and he calls it a 'small price to pay.' Easy to say from a pent-house."Over by the pool tables, Bill threw his cue down. "It’s the grocery aisle too. Eggs, bread, milk...everything keeps climbing while he promised day-one relief. We got duped, plain and simple."Just a room full of tired working guys coming to terms with the hollow promises. They finally admitted they were wrong after all these years. I honestly think the blue wave is just getting started, never seen anything like this.
>>545755174OP is a tranny nigger who rapes boys
>>545759964>Your bbq sucks toonot a texas fag, but a bbq fan.give Hard Eight BBQ a shot. I no shit stayed out there an extra day to eat there twice one trip. that was years ago, could be fuck shit nowbrisket is 100% overrated roast beef. texas can eat my dick on being proud of it>muh burnt endseat me, faggotNorth Alabama probably has the best bbq outside of what I cook. the Carolinas have their place. Mid-west (KC) too much fucking sugar in their sauce that they have to drench everything in. middle of fuck nowhere Florida is where I have had the best. Small town in Georgia is 2nd. no, I won't say where.texas, does have good bbq. if you count steaks cooked on open fire bbq, top 5 steak I ever ate was out there. a good steak accounts for 90% of that cook though. personally, I consider that grilling, even though it is over direct wood coal heat. bbq is offset slow cooking. fuck you if you think otherwisenow back to our current thread where we call OP an absolute faggot
>>545756479>The third parties are all shit.You say that like the current parties aren't. Besides if third parties picked up they could have actual nuanced platforms instead of being meme parties only single-issue retards would ever vote for.
Republicans only shot is to abolish the electoral college and pray they get the national popular vote.
>>545755174So how much longer will it be before you realize Trump is the problem?
Ken Paxton was doing things he shouldn't have been doing in office
>>545760838Lol we will just gas every boy/nigger loverLike you
>>545760816Third parties are memes because it was made illegal for parties to exercise any control over their candidates or how they're nominated in early 20th century in response to the machine politics that defined American politics from Reconstruction to the New Deal.
>>545756534Doesn’t that speed run a constitutional crisis if a presidential election ends like 2016, how grim.
>>545755174But you still don't have the big picture.Here's the big picture:https://x.com/i/status/2099802242542968909
>>545761162>literal plebbit schizobabble
>>545756717>Post the 1 state more brown than texicoLol
>>545760658I thought all those guys were already ridin with Biden and then Kamala from the various insane pastas 2-3 years ago.

>>545761286North mexicoAka califailia
>>545761426>another plebbit posterleave, go back there or to its cousin faceberg
>>545761049Not at all. Constitutionally at first, states could determine their electors however they wanted. There's nothing unconstitutional about a bunch of states agreeing to have their electors vote for the winner of the popular vote.
Winning elections? We are talking about winning elections? Brother I can't even figure out what the Republican Party even stands for. They had power for years and every time they get power they do nothing with at the federal level and on the state level they ban porn and weed. Why vote for them? They're not a serious party. They weren't even coherent
>>545760959My god man. Your are being offered solutions and you just poopooing on all of them. You guys bitch about the two party system on here constantly then when offered an out you immediately want to flop back to the status quo. Why are you all like this? Do you want a fucking solution to the the mathematical problem of WHY democratic institutions default to two parties and mitigate that problem (which is an issue of math) or do you want to sit in the corner and be a flip flopping contrarian bitch and uselessly complain on the internet? Holy fuckballs mate.
>>545761497States have to get congressional approval to make compacts with each other. It's literally in article 1 of the constitution.
>>545761497If they are going to start affirming the supremacy of the states electors to choose beyond what a state actually votes for, what stops other state governments to pressure their own electors to vote for the preferred candidate. This is a recipe for disaster.
>>545761471Kill newfag niggersLike you
>>545761586I'm saying that what you want is illegal. You would have to massively change federal election laws.You must set up a primary in your state. You cannot tell someone that they cannot run. You must allow anyone who checks in a box to vote (in a closed primary), etc, etc, etc. This is not a matter of the game theory of FPTP voting: it is that the factors that allow for multiparty democracy in many countries in Europe and elsewhere are ILLEGAL in American federal election law.

>>545761641Official compacts.
>>545761926go ahead and triforce for me, show me your gape
>>545756717Erm Florida is a swing state now.
>>545761943What? So like the rules don't apply if we do chickenshit "sabbath mode" versions of compacts to get around the clearly intended rules ?
>>545761989Damn this newfag niglet is mad
>>545761676Without laws in place to prevent it this has already happened. There are multiple recorded instances of electors voting their preferred candidate over who won in the state. The Electoral College was always a joke in that regard. At least by forcing Electors to vote for whoever won the overall popular vote, you effectively kill swing states and make it so every single individual vote matters. No more getting fucked over if you're a conservative in a blue state or a progressive in a red state.
>>545762055>Erm Florida is a swing state now.I think Florida is red as it getsthat said, I think there was a lot of not voting. many reasons, mid-year being number one. second I would say was a bit of either no vote in protest, or note vote in faith there was enough to cover their lost vote.>>545762110>newfagok sweatyyou are adding nothing to the thread. goodbye. sit in the memeflag corner that is also hidden thanks to 4chanX>muh hugbox>muh you don't want discourse or conversationplebbitfags add nothing of value.

>>545759668I still can't get over her crying stunt outside of that empty parking lot leading to an immigration detention center, where she was claiming she was laying eyes on tiny Mexican children baking to death in the Texas sun and all sorts of shit. Even more the twitter fight and threats she threw towards the photographer over him releasing the other pics showing she was just fake crying while staring at an empty parking lot; i really don't understand how that never became big news, considering he was an uber leftist himself and she threatened him with all sorts of lawsuits, and he roasted her and her staff as not being able to read contracts that clearly stated he retained the rights to all pictures he took, despite being legislators.
>>545763809>muh roast beef (brisket) bends and flops like a limp penis literally part of bbq judging. so gheythe number 1 supplier of bbq cookoffs when it comes to (specifically) brisket is in my back yard. anybody that wins is cooking Australian A9 wagyu (fug off with your jap A5 shit, we are talking bbg). I've never heard of another cut of beef off that cow being even prime. Its like it is grown for roast beef only.>muh its juicynah, you slathered it in bbq sauce because otherwise it was roast beef.want a trick? slice that shitmeat once it rested and put a dry rub on it. the meat will absorb it and is multitudes better than some faggoty sauce you use to cover the fact it is $30lb roast beef. Rest then rest with dry rub, never cut resting meat.I raise cows, they are good for me. Home process so USDA doesn't grade. I'm not embarrassed to feed them to friends and family, but they are nothing like my pigs. I'll fuck you in the dickhole if you find better pork. I'll put a pork tenderloin steak (boneless porkchop for fags) down on any bullshit steak you get from walmart. prime or not (if they sell it) and you will fag out on me.my heritage breed pork will turn you ghey
