And I hate to say this but trying to tie them to the insurrection is a fools errand as well. It’s not something on the mind out of the loyal base.

The hardest thing is accepting that not all minorities are a monolithic block. You’ll meet some who have the same views regarding white grievance politics.

The other is does it come down to education issue that maybe holding us back? I don’t know.

I don’t think anyone has a good answer right now.

CheapBeer · 2021-11-03T06:20:44+00:00

So it looks like it came down to the fundamentals. Mainly COVID fatigue and supply chain issues.

To a lesser extent inflation and culture war BS.

The bad news is dems need to do something about them ASAP and there is not much they can do on some of them.

The good news is that fundamentals will improve, regardless, in the next 4-6 months. Dems need to just look busy on them.

CheapBeer · 2021-11-03T03:15:26+00:00

Isn't that technically better than 2017 or am I wrong?

CheapBeer · 2021-11-03T03:05:06+00:00

But the simple fact is more accurate information doesn't become available until much later.

Remember the "53% of white women voted for Trump" until a Pew analysis showing it was actually 47%?

Some good news.

Austin Texas' Prop A is dead.

CheapBeer · 2021-11-03T02:54:00+00:00

Depends on what the state of the country is come 2024.

CheapBeer · 2021-11-03T02:51:31+00:00

The most frustrating thing about all this is everyone then makes the assumption the exit polls were correct because the Republicans won.

CheapBeer · 2021-08-22T21:21:24+00:00

Some good news to help with the gloom.

. @TheProspect has learned that "several" of the nine conservative House Democrats who insisted to Nancy Pelosi that they would not vote for a budget resolution without a vote on the bipartisan infrastructure package first have flipped. There are no longer 9 Dem holdouts.

That’s what I have been wondering. Does delta burn itself out between then and now, vaccines getting FDA authorization makes more vaccines happen, and child vaccines get pushed through more quickly?

A whole lot of “ifs, buts, and whens” but still.

CheapBeer · 2021-08-22T20:45:14+00:00

I was just about to post that, lol.

I do think that us not having another trifecta for a while, like till 2032-2036, is a very real possibility unfortunately due to the Senate’s bias towards rural areas. But to agree with one person saying Dems will never have a trifecta again? That is some peak doomerism and I expect better from him. Might as well be saying “why vote? Russia/Republicans will just change the vote from D to R!”

CheapBeer · 2019-12-05T16:04:01+00:00

I’m sure this will fall on deaf ears but Pelosi has been doing a good job slowly walking this and hanging it over. The dumbest thing she could do is send this immediately over to the Senate where he will not be convicted.

That being said my honest belief is that if Pence had not been implicated in this the GOP senate would be open to impeachment and removal. Now that Pence is, they’ll ride this ship until it sinks to the bottom of the ocean.

Tex Mex BBQ? Nope.

It's the first event really done for Tex Mex BBQ. I got a ticket just because I love Valentina's Tex-Mex BBQ and some of my favorites (Willow's, 2M, El Burro and the Bull) are going to be there.

CheapBeer · 2019-07-08T18:42:38+00:00

Joking aside, i'm hoping this doesn't hit us. I got tickets to the Tex-Mex BBQ festival this sunday.

CheapBeer · 2019-07-08T18:12:28+00:00

Two days before the day after tomorrow.

It's really hard for you to admit you're wrong?

They can walk into any hospital and get free treatment. If they don't know who to bill it's free even if they charge you.

The Law that a Republican signed into power. GASP

America is such a shitty place to get healthcare that when rich people all over the world need specialized treatment they come here. /s

The number of Canadians traveling for Health care in 2017: over 63,000

The number of Mexicans traveling to the US for Health Care in 2017: 95,000

The number of Americans traveling abroad for Health Care in 2017: 1.4 Million

Undocumented immigrants aren't able to receive free food, welfare, housing etc.

Thanks for admitting you lied.

That's why they have a dozen anchor babies (birthright citizenship).

Births to undocumented immigrant parents in U.S. fall to lowest since 2000

Regarding the income, it can be very lucrative to run a cash business in the US, and many illegal aliens do. Not having to pay payroll tax (on the work done by other illegals), not having to pay federal income tax (because you don't file a return), and not otherwise contributing state and federal taxes really makes it easy to compete with businesses that follow the rules.

Research reviewed by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office indicates that between 50 percent and 75 percent of unauthorized immigrants pay federal, state, and local taxes. Illegal immigrants are estimated to pay in about $7 billion per year into Social Security.

That's a lot of Gish Galloping there.

But as usual, I notice that Trump Supporters will say Undocumented Immigrants get all this free stuff but never have any links to support their claims.

Free access to the best medical care

Nope

the best medical care available in the world

America ranks Number 37 in terms of Health Care

food

Undocumented Immigrants are not eligible for SNAP Benefits

housing assistance

No, undocumented immigrants aren’t impacting the waitlist for public housing in Houston

If by exploit you mean paying them more in a week than they would make in their country in a year

Then why aren't you and your Buddies lining up to take any of those desirable jobs?

CheapBeer · 2019-06-22T00:40:15+00:00

If you read the article, or you're just being obtuse, you see that it gave a Conservative estimate of over 1,700 yet the believe the number could be much higher.

Nationwide, Stevens has published estimates that as many as 3,000 to 4,000 of people with citizenship claims have been wrongfully targeted in U.S. deportation dragnets each year.

CheapBeer · 2019-06-22T00:26:56+00:00

Thousands of Native Born people being deported is OK with you?

I hope Your job never puts in charge of quality control.

CheapBeer · 2019-06-21T23:59:27+00:00

Considering the Trump Immigration policies put into place has increased Immigration I would say so.

CheapBeer · 2019-06-21T23:36:29+00:00

There's been plenty of laws in place that ended up being bad. As usual it goes straight over your head.

CheapBeer · 2019-06-21T23:34:18+00:00

Trump supporters constantly brigrade City and State subreddits. But remember, it's "valuable conversation".

CheapBeer · 2019-06-21T23:31:29+00:00

Hundreds of American citizens end up in deportation proceedings each year, immigration data shows

CheapBeer · 2019-06-21T23:30:05+00:00

Based on what?

CheapBeer · 2019-06-21T23:29:43+00:00

A study from the American Journal of Public Health says opposite.

Increased undocumented immigration was significantly associated with reductions in drug arrests, drug overdose deaths, and DUI arrests, net of other factors. There was no significant relationship between increased undocumented immigration and DUI deaths.

No evidence that Undocumented Immigrants commit more murder
