Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The poster made the claim like it was a statement of fact for all of texas, I explained how my experience was different, even giving reasons why that might be the case, and you still felt the need to be a douche about it.
Amazing.
Pointing out that I'm unsurprised that you're able to vote easily because you're an affluent area doesn't make me a douche. The fact that you reacted like that because I pointed out the obvious that makes your experience the exception to the rule means you should probably be pointing that accusation inwards friend.
Maybe don't be so sensitive and hostile just because you're one of the lucky ones?
Agreed. It wasn't that you pointed it out, it was how you pointed it out. Or do you really not realize how your sarcasm comes off as douchy?
Lol. The whole point of me bringing it up was the point out this might explain it. I even explicitly said it probably gaffs the scale. You didn't point it out, I did.
I think you're inadvertently revealing what the issue is here: you're being hostile to me because you think I'm lucky.
If you think I'm being hostile, you're definitely too sensitive to your privilege.
So, you really don't realize how your first post, dripping with sarcasm, was a douchy response. I figured you were just an asshole, but apparently you just are socially inept. My bad.
Nah, I'm just not into holding your hands after you decided to be too sensitive to a simple snarky response. And honestly, I just don't have any more time for your aggro attitude and childish name calling.
This is the internet, grow some skin and try not to react in such a hostile fashion to a simple comment. Feel free to respond for the last word, I'm sure you want a last quip. Either way, I wont see you again.
Ah, an admission that I correctly called you out for being an douche, and now you're admitting you lied when you said you weren't being hostile.
Lol holy shit if this isn't the pot calling the kettle black. It's okay for you to be a snarky douche, but if I call you out for it...whoa! That's way too far! Lol
