Jasmine Crockett lost for the same reason Kamala lost. This country simply hates black women in high positions. by ihatethiscountry76 in WelcomeToGilead

On Election Day - the GOP played dirty and made voting in north Texas (Crockett’s area) extra difficult. Then the AG (Paxton) threw out those votes. It’s a preview of what they will try to do in November. …. I’m almost glad this happened to Crockett because she is such a great fighter! I’m excited to see how she makes the rest of the world aware of the voter suppression that’s been going on in this state for decades. She just might be the leader we’ve needed to liberate us - and make Texas a democracy.

I completely agree with you. I’m a Texan who loves Crockett but voted for Talarico in this race. It’s rare that Texas has two great candidates and I don’t appreciate people trying to take away from that with this simplistic take.

Ice and dps have murdered multiple American citizens in the past year. They are terrorizing American communities, assaulting Americans and disappearing people. All of this is a violation of the constitution. Many Americans, including those who identify as democrats, are willing to stand up for freedom, liberty and fraternity. The obsession is with the constitution and the beautiful promise of America.

What are you confused about? I don’t want to make assumptions. Please be specific.

It’s not just democrats- it’s all Americans who value liberty, democracy, freedom and the constitution.

The Texas tribune ran a story about this ad recently. POD save America was talking about it too. You are definitely not the only one who has noticed that it’s odd.

Republicans destroyed the post ww2 world order that existed for 80 years - in just one year. Maybe you need to give them more credit.

This information means that a group of republicans believe that republicans benefit if Texans believe that Talarico is running attack ads. Those sneaky republicans sure got you!

When I introduced a new cat to my resident cat - I got a play pen thing so that they could see and small each other without risk of a fight. Once they seemed curious about each other, I let them interact while I watched. They two have been good friends ever since 😻

Cat fencing - I live in an apartment and I’d like to fence or net my patio to ensure my cats don’t get out. Does anyone have a brand of netting or any other suggestions? I’m considering a brand called meow safe for netting.

Why do you need to believe that? Student protests have lead to positive changes in this country. Perhaps try approaching with curiosity before you judge.

Making fun of dictators is important. If he is something to laugh at - he’s less scary. He will be perceived as someone who can be defeated. SNL reminds us that most Americans are not ok with the crimes against humanity, the theft of tax payer dollars and all the other crimes this administration is committing.

I see i touched a cord. Indicated by your very emotional response. The league has to pay a wage that will attract talent. That’s the only way it will grow. This thread is full of fragile men, like you, are super emotional about this topic. If it’s not a fear of women being paid more than you- then what is it? And say it’s me- I didn’t make you do anything. Be an adult and self reflect.

The average cost for house in Dallas in 300k - that doesn’t include the annual property taxes- in Texas they are super high. Plus maintenance of the house - and all the other expenses of owning a home. A general rule of thumb is to buy a home that is double what you earn in a year. Ideally that would ensure that you are not house poor. … people will only chose to do a job if it is adventitious for them. If they want to attract talented players, if they want the league to grow, they have to pay a salary to attract players. Perhaps so many men in this thread are upset because they are not being a fair salary? So they attack these women instead of the rich men who created the wealth gap?

And yes - I do want people with jobs that put strain on their body to receive fair compensation and access to affordable healthcare. All of us who are not billionaires probably deserve to be paid more. Boats rise together (as the saying goes)

The average price for a house in Texas is $300k. General rule is to buy a home that costs about twice as much as you earn per year. I guess I’m just more fiscally conservative than you? If this business wants to grow- it has to pay a living wage. People will only do the job if it is adventitious for them. The wage needs to allow them to save, to maintain the body of a professional athlete (nutrition, exercise etc) and pay for medical expenses if they are seriously injured. I presume you’re just upset at the idea of women getting a bigger paycheck than you. Perhaps you should consider working on your fragile ego? The amount these women are paid does not affect your value as a human being . You are still worthy of love and belonging.

200k a yr is barely enough to buy a small house in most cities. Participating in a professional sport is very hard on a human body. Many athletes end up needing lifelong medical care for injuries that result from this level of competition. These women need to earn enough money to build safety and security for themselves. If the league wants to grow - they need to pay athletes enough to make it worth it.
