my current view is that it is not a winnable race.  it's good for the texas democratic party that beto is willing to martyr himself in their service, but it's bad for him personally.

assuming he wants to hold public office again, waiting until texas becomes more democratic and the national environment is more conducive to democrats winning before running.

he lost his senate race to ted cruz so, as seemingly popular of a candidate as he is, i think it just goes to show how much pubs outnumber dems in the lone star state. i think the only way beto would have had a shot at gubnah is if texas would have had major power outages 2 years in a row. FTR all those fixes that abbott promised after the 2021 death freeze...unsurprisingly the state was basically no better off coming into this winter season. ERCOT did make a point to say "pretty please can everyone try to not use as much electricty?" when inclement weather was rolling in but greg just lucked out that there wasn't a similarly devastating event 2 years in a row.

Also FTR this exact same thing happened in 2011. Shockingly, nothing happened at all and people just kinda forgot about it until it happened again 10 years later and they were no better off.

I don’t really see confronting the Texas governor for failing to do anything to curtail gun violence or use of assault weapons to be “grandstanding” under these circumstances.

We’ve seen the NRA playbook “now is not the time to talk about doing something” so many times we’re numb to it.

It's all about the style points for Beto.

#blueanon clings to the style points and needs to feel like someone is doing something.   A committee, a working group, somebody writing a paper, an emotional outburst that solves nothing.  That's what #blueanon thrives on.   For Beto it was about suburban mom votes, and rallying the base.   If he's elected, he'll go to DC and talk a lot and do nothing.   There's just as many blow hard do nothings on the right as well.

i don't usually agree with the gop, but in this case i think they're absolutely correct. the focus shouldn't be on guns. it should be on mental health. And since your ability to receive mental health care and services depends on you having a job then i just think and pray that those folks are in a position to take time off work to tend to their mental health. I think 99% of americans would agree...especially those who might be feeling stressed at work either because they are worried that they might get laid off or they are stretched too thin...there is always time to take time off to get the help you need. Luckily, the unemployed are probably the most mentally stable members of society b/c you don't have to stress over work if you don't have a job! So the folks that don't have access to mental health care are also the ones least likely to need it, so you see it really all kinda works out. let's ignore the grandstanding and stay focused, you guys.

Guys, stay focused on the cartels, they are definitely the problem here and not like, Perdue. These cartels are exploiting America’s opioid addiction that has been there since always, and definitely not a result of drugs like oxy being made available by Rx starting in the early 90s.

No no, the problem is not the billionaires that continue to profit off the highly addictive drugs they keep pushing, it’s those scary cartels that are definitely doing all the things that are causing all the problems. Just to recap, pharmaceutical companies = a-ok. The real problem is the cartels. Great talk

Dax, in your opinion of course, is there a president who has been appropriately tough on the cartels?
I always enjoy seeing Dax’s reactions to questions like these.

There was one President who put a premium on border security. 

#blueanon absolutely melted down about it, which is super weird considering that #blueanon political leaders (mostly very very old white people) were fully onboard the semi tough talk of "you just can't jump over a river" of the previous administration who was sorta kinda tough on the border, at least at various times when political opportunities arose.  That administration of course wasn't all that keen on actually securing the border and making it tougher on the cartels . . . in fact that walked automatic weapons to the cartels, and then in typical #blueanon fashion tried to blame it all on everybody else besides themselves and shipped one West Winger off to some far flung outpost to avoid congressional testimony.

None of this of course changes the reality that Beto O'Rourke is a POS poser

"There was one President" refers to Trump, correct?

And "#blueanon absolutely melted down about it" refers to the backlash to forcibly separating children from their families, correct?

Just want to make sure I'm tracking.

Yes, and then we'll also talk about who built the cages, who originally started keeping people in the cages and who conducted paternal geo-relocation which separated the fathers from the rest of the family, sent them back across the border far away, where the cartels thought they were spies for the DEA/ICE/FBI etc. etc. etc.

In the year of our Flying Spaghetti Monster 2022 #blueanon doesn't GAF about the dangerous drugs flowing over the border, the fact that cartels make billions on the drugs, human trafficking and sex trafficking etc. etc.

They've got those points about Don Trump that they need to hammer home.   :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Again, all that said, Beto O'Rourke is still a POS poser.

The war on drugs that can kill thousands of people at a time, yes.

The war on a drug that is the biggest killer of teenagers and young adults in our country right now, yes

Your try too hard ways are just pathetic.

I already know you think fentanyl is just a joke.

https://www.wral.com/fentanyl-overdose-becomes-leading-cause-of-death-for-adults-age-18-to-45/20200135/

The best part is the usual fact checkers falling all over themselves to disprove this tragedy.

It's just pathetic

“Fentanyl is the single deadliest drug threat our nation has ever encountered,” said Anne Milgram, administrator of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA)

Data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show the drug is now the top cause of death among U.S. adults (ages 18-45) – more than COVID-19, suicide, and car accidents. It’s tied to at least 70 percent of all drug deaths, according to the CDC, which reports that 37,208 fentanyl-related deaths occurred in 2020 and 41,587 in 2021 – an increase of almost 12 percent.

According to white women on my Facebook, Halloween candy this year will be laced with fentanyl.

The Feds put out a warning because they seized thousands of Fent doses wrapped up in candy bags.

Cartels should ship over a few thousand Jesus wafer shaped fentanyl packages and intentionally get them flagged at the boarder.

Ok, but you know that’s just a disguise to try and smuggle them in, right?

We’ve been fighting this fight every year for 40+ years…nobody is lacing Halloween candy with drugs, drugs are too expensive

You said teenagers and young adults. I pulled the data for 15-24.9 y.o., as that's the definition. Your source gives data for 18-45.9 y.o.

For the young adult crowd, the data shows car accidents as the leading cause of death. There's clearly a lot of drug overdoses in the 25-45.9 y.o. crowd, though. And fentanyl overdoses are definitely a primary driver of those deaths.

However, there is a tried and true way to prevent these deaths. "Just Say No."

The things I appreciate about #blueanongE on this topic is 1.  How hard you fight the reality. 2.  The fact that you think it’s funny. 

You can dial through the semantics all you want, but unintentional deaths via synthetic opioids of which in  90% of the cases its fentanyl . . . Is one of, and arguably now the leading cause of death in that age group.

It’s truly sad to read all the nuanced fact checking that #blueanon fact checkers attempt to do on this topic.  Instead of just accepting the reality of this tragedy and accepting the fact that an unsecured border fuels this national tragedy.

I saw recently that something like 80% of smugglers across the southern border are legal U.S. citizens who "legally" pass through ports of entry. I'll see if I can find it again.
