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.

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
