so math

5,500 people, population of 193k = 2.8% turnout (Beto)
25k people, pop 8.6 million =0.29% turnout (Sanders) (thanks for the QC, Claire!)
20k people, pop 1.34 million = 1.0% turnout (Trimp)

Beto 3x more popular than Trimp, 10x more popular than Sanders

put that in your trunk, Shunk!

choc e-Claire 10.20.2019 03:58 PM

You've got an extra 0 in the Sanders figure, but it's pretty good otherwise

ilduclo 10.20.2019 04:15 PM

yup, corrected!

dallas population is underestimated above

sure city limits is correct, but dallas-fort worth metro, which is the real demographic, has 7.5+ million

mango 0.33%

I do think that the issue of race remains a particular problem for the American Left. Especially any version that wants to hold on to a specifically Marxist concept of class. I recently came back from Miami. Yeah there's the massive divide between rich and poor but what struck me far more was the seemingly unfathomable 4D complexity of its racial tensions and how they appeared to transcend any easy notion of economic disparity or class conflict. I'm not sure what kind of politics is needed for a city like that, tbh.

!@#$%! 10.20.2019 07:03 PM

ah, miami! hahahahaa... the capital of latin america. everyone does business and brings their regional prejudices there.

the political solution is... just more fucking. i mean it in the hybridizing crosspollinating way. capulets and montagues without the suicide. viva el caos primordial!

Honestly, h8kurdt, my confusion grows: no “deliberate” mishandling

If my understanding of the law is correct, it specifically states that intent is irrelevant.

If this is true, please understand that you or anyone else reading this would be going to prison for doing anything similar.

THIS is why I questioned the possibility of then President Obama granting immunity to Hillary the same way he did her attorney. If immunity was granted, there is no way Hillary could be prosecuted.

If intent is indeed irrelevant, then Hillary is receiving special treatment!
(don’t forget removing SIM cards & destroying cellphones after receiving subpoena)

If immunity was granted, as I’ve stated previously, I would consider that treasonous.

I was questioning possible traitorous activity based on actions and NOT skin tone or proper names.

Because all of President Obama’s questionable actions took place in his final months-weeks-days & hours of office. Hillary’s attorney didn’t reveal the status of her immunity until she testified under oath earlier this year.

Possibly you can comprehend this......the next time you get pulled over for speeding, tell the officer you didn’t “intend” to speed and see how works out.

Yeah, I just googled the pop, not accounting for the spread out territory associated with TX cities (lack of land use laws)

So Trimpy even worse, works for me. He’s gonna lose
:D

Trump comparing what he's going through as a "lynching" is something else. I mean, I should be shocked but I'm not. At all.

Has there ever been a more whiny, moaning, pathetic snowflake president in history?

Probably not, at least publicly.

The Trump Administration is attempting, through its "America First" policy, to re-industrialize the US, thus breathing new life into the American proletariat.

In other words, American anti-globalism is domestic class conflict on a global scale, and President Trump is on the right side of history to that extent.


And by re-industrialise you mean go back to building fossil fuel factories? In that sense then he's on the wrong side of history.

choc e-Claire 10.23.2019 03:35 AM

Well done h8kurdt, you broke him.

choc e-Claire 10.23.2019 03:42 AM

Eh, because I've got nothing better to do: isn't moving to a post-fossil fuel society the better thing to do anyway? When we do rapidly move to renewable energy, and it turns out that we were wrong on climate change...how is it a bad thing?

choc e-Claire 10.23.2019 04:20 AM

Yeah, carbon capture technology is no doubt cool and helpful and could save us all. But, like - fossil fuel's going to keep adding carbon, and we'd have to keep capturing it.

This will absolutely get us some way back to climate equilibrium. And renewables would keep us there much better than recapturing carbon.
