Hi eris, and welcome. You are actually closer to my collection then me. I have a relative in Texas.
I often debate leaving this shit hole behind, with a big one fingered salute to Cumo, but I have some ties here.
Just enough to keep me around ..... barely.
Then again I feel a need to stay united with my brothers of this state.

Hi!

I hope this isn't rude, but I have to ask about your avatar. It's rather provocative. What made you pick that?

A extreme conservative politician in NY is more liberal than a extreme liberal in Texas.

Welcome.

Hi eris. Is there any chance we could make a trade of Governors. An even trade of media darling NY Liberal Sir Andrew Cuomo for Greg Abbott? I would even throw in Deblasio, and Schneiderman as future draft choices. While we are at it, how about a package deal with Schumer and Gillibrand for Cruz and Cornyn too ... and you can even keep Beto the Bandito as well as the Texas 30.06, 30.07, and 51% carry laws?

The funny thing is that the answer would probably be no.

Yeah, I think you can keep those guys. As much as I don't like our Texas politicians, at least they're our kind of morons. We don't need imported morons. :D

Basically I don't want either the Democrats or the Republicans to have a blank check to run the government as they please, because neither party is willing to protect *all* of my rights, only some of them. I tend to prefer it when the legislature is divided so that neither party can implement it's most extreme agenda items.

A keep Austin wierd Liberal or even a Houston Montrose area liberal would likely align with the NY Green, Working Party or Libertarian parties depending on pet peeves ... but a Houston area Harris County Liberal would more align with a NY RINO.

The thing is.. in theory I want agree with you.. in theory, that's what they SHOULD do, but in reality the two party system, even when in balance, doesn't actually serve to protect *all* those rights at all but rather serves only to fight to grab greater power over the other and in so doing only take; eventually creating a hellscape for everyone. In a perfect world I'd wish to consider myself relatively centrist, because I do believe each side is by design each about half on the side of 'right' in their own ways

As for the extreme agendas of each, I truly believe they only exist, and grow ever more extreme, because of the systemic opposition. If we were able to somehow have a political system wherin one 'team' weren't putting so much effort into being diametrically opposed to the other, I think those extreme agendas would settle into something more akin to just genuine common sense and essential humanism between the two.

That said, we can't do that, that's not the system we have or are ever going to have. Realistically, one must (in my opinion) therefore either choose which half-retarded party to support, OR just sit back and watch the world burn.
