(24,853 posts)39. 50,000 people out of a population of >25,000,000 and DU acts as if it's the WHOLE state.
Come the fuck ON... Really?
As IF your totally blue state has less than 0.2% who could be considered fuckups? You DO live in a totally blue state, right? Of course, NO DUer would live in a state that had even the TINIEST number of republicans, right?
No blue voters in Texas... nope. Not ONE.
I am so fucking sick of this shit that I actually consider poking burning pencils in my eyes sometimes...

All funding to education. All funding for water management, all funding for disaster aid.

It's actually "Somalia" with an A, but since TEXANS are the really STOOPID people, who cares?
