This isn't the presidential race. This is a run off to some state elections. This one is hardly a nail in the coffin for anything.

Now, if Trump loses? Yah, I'll happily join the doom train but this? This one is more or less politics as usual with the exception of Brandon being an outsider candidate who got within spitting range of the Uniparty stooge.

Or, in short, if Trump wins there very well could be a "Next time".

GOP voters chose an unpopular Uniparty stooge when they had the chance for a real alternative.

Say, aren't you always pushing sunshine and blowjobs hopium ITT? How's it feel always being wrong?

Unless you're doing it on purpose, to get your kicks from seeing people disappointed. In which case, go jump in a pool of piranhas.

Ha, my last several notes on hope and happiness has been to basically say that the good result is unlikely.

You don't need to be a complete doom poster to be black pilled. You can in fact note what could go well or what can happen and still say that an overall good end result is less likely by the day.

gonna elect leaders

I wonder why it's surprising to anybody that a group that has elected leaders for so long finds it difficult to elect a representative.

People need to stop representing their leaders and start leading their representatives... is what I'd say if we weren't three-going-on-four generations deep into this beta mindset by now.

Here is on some information on who endorsed Herrera and who endorsed Gonzales.

Looking into the deeper details of the Texas 23rd Congressional District run-off election, Herrera seems to won of in the more rural counties while Gonzales won in the urban areas.

Yah about what I'd expect. Brandon won with the people most dissatisfied with Gonzalez actively but Gonzalez got a greater number of votes based on name recognition. Or, in another context, rural and urban voters. Rural tends to vote more on issues and agreement for their first consideration where as urban tend to vote more on recognition for the same. Which again says that Brandon will become a noose if he keeps pushing for the seat. As his name recognition rises, it will make him on more even footing with the urban voters who will then begin to use issues more as the means of deciding between the two.

To rephrase the above, Gonzalez is mostly fucked with rural voters who want someone who shares their values, and Brandon needs to make inroads with Rural voters who tend to prefer the devil they know over they devil they don't.



Addition: The above is a large part of why our system is fucked and falling apart. Urban voters make up massive sections of political power but are also so insulated into their daily lives that they don't put more thought into who to vote for beyond "Who do I know better" unless they legitimately cannot come up with an answer to that question. They only ever actually consider two candidates seriously when they are approaching equally known status. Hence why so many congress critters are so safe from attack, especially if they have a major city in their district.

Looking at what Gonzales has sponsored in that very screenshot. Some of them being big Democrat priorities.

Urban conservatives are absolute nigger cattle in this situation.

And they usually try to be hip on local events.

I guess these must be the kind of voters fine with January 6th folks getting railroaded and watched Hannity over Tucker.

Sorry if I'm being a dick. I've just had enough of getting felted every time a good thing seems within grasp.

I understand the want to doom post. I -really- do. Personally I am actually pretty damn black pilled. Hell, I uprooted my entire family, moved to another country, and have spent a small fortune setting up an almost entirely self-sufficient farm which now has a a few families working in a small community. I got so black pilled I fucked off out of it entirely.

The trick to avoid the doom posting despite the black pill is, I have found, realistic expectations. Brandon wasn't going to win against Gonzalez incumbent advantage. That he did as well as he did was -amazing-. But you will notice from the outset of today I have not once talked about Brandon winning, I started with saying the threshold he needed to hit to be a viable candidate in the future and a method of leashing Gonzalez.

Now, you did raise a good point. The entire above hinges on the idea that there will be a 'next time' and that is far from a sure thing. Too much hinges on an almost eighty year old man winning a rigged election and then living long enough to shepherd in a long-lasting movement after he is gone. That alone is a good reason to swallow a black pill. Still, Trump has not lost -yet-, and there is nothing stopping us taking a good long look at what needs to go well, what can realistically goes well, and what pragmatic things have to occur to keep everything all working.

You can hope for the best, like Brandon winning, but keep in mind the realistic results that still might happen that still could prove useful, like Brandon getting within spitting distance of the RINO stooge and more or less ensuring that said stooge has to be a bit less RINOy now which means more opportunities later for a better result.

I'd trust fuckin Ralph, Baldoman, CWC, or goddamn Cyraxx in the presidency before I'll trust an HR worker. Lawyers, doctors, CEOs, etc attract psychopaths so a large portion of them are psychos but there are legit reasons to want to be one despite not being a psycho. There is no such thing as a non-psycho HR rep. HR reps are below crackhead niggers.

Well it seems two people at the convention did trust CWC over Chase Oliver.

Honestly, you give them too much credit. That assumes they have actually looked into what Gonzalez has sponsored. While it varies individual to individual, as a whole Urban voters (no matter party affiliation) really do not look beyond the letter by the name and whether they know who they are. There is a reason AOC winning was such an upset and so unexpected.

I am going to be so pissed if he somehow manages to eek out a win after I -just- said he won't and went on a long post about managing expectation.. It will be the universe toying with me
