Thanks saved me the watch

Faith in humanity

Die

Abuse.

Religion usually plays a part.

Accepting the fundamental differences in viewpoint and pretending it isn’t there for the sake of kids

Etc.

My partners family comes to mind. Her mother is very liberal, her dad is a weird mix of liberal beliefs polluted by religion. They just don’t talk about it, everyone knows he’s wrong, he knows he’s wrong, he won’t change his viewpoints and his wife isn’t willing to collapse their family over it.

Never trust a Christian doctor

Have you used bazzite? I’ve been looking into it myself

Religion is poison that turns good people into pieces of shit

Probably not unless the numbers swing wildly on Election Day, which is possible

But right now he has an over 3 point lead.

I just can’t imagine being someone that supports Ted Cruz, much less telling anyone about it.

Because Abrahamic faiths are a plague on society

No, you can’t. Fundamentally very, very different things.

Republican supporters eat, sleep, and breathe contradicting thought. It’s baked into their worldview (looking at you, Christians).

It’s the next version of trump these fucking Neanderthals try to put in office with all of the resources and infrastructure and rhetoric they’ve already built that has me worried.

That or trump will just keep running and running over and over until he dies which would be… satisfying, to watch.

Ah yes… leftists hating on other leftists because they aren’t left enough.

A true classic

The silver lining in my opinion is that Texas is in a very gradual, but inevitable slide to the left. Especially as wealthier tech workers move farther from city hubs, it’s fucking up the whole gerrymandering thing.

Numerically no, practically yes.

Polling decisions are made on a per-district basis.

When you hear about democratic voter suppression in southern states, that’s because democratic strongholds are deliberately starved of resources to conduct elections.

Texas is so abysmally gerrymandered it’s insane

Literally anything that makes his day more unpleasant brings a smile to my face

You need to revisit your allocations

Yeah, no, investing can’t be compared to gambling like that. Unless you’re picking stocks at absolute random, there are underlying market forces can be understood and used to make reliable investments.

OP made some shitty bets and is blaming the system

What this graph looks like to me is you made a really shitty bet, lost a bunch, sold at the bottom and then bought index funds and it’s been ticking up since.

Also you didn’t “lose” anything, assuming you didn’t sell. If this is a retirement plan, just keep your head on straight and stick with indexed and dividend funds
