As far as I can tell the only difference between them is that Shine is a former rep and said he wouldn't ask muslims to pledge allegiance in his office.

Wait, what? Last I saw, Sanders had taken Travis county.

Yeah, just went and checked. Sanders led by a hair over 4k votes. Not that it made a difference in the end, but still, I wasn't sure if I was just imagining things with that.

Oh, the check mark threw me.

Who the hell is that? Grady Yarbrough is an old black man who drove his truck around campaigning for Senate in 2012. I voted for him over Paul Sadler.

EDIT:


Well, at least that was at about the level of crazy I was expecting. I don't know how good or bad that is, though.

The five Democrat ones were just softball ones.

Anyone going to the precinct voting thing on the 16th? I kind of miss doing the Texas Two Step truth be told. Not sure why they moved it.

I'm actually giving you poo poo because that was an issue in 2012 as well. Grady Yarbrough, or another version of that last name, was a mid-century white Democrat and may have gotten the "new" GY a bunch of votes from false name recognition.

Corpus Christi just voted to get rid of Uber. Of course people are upset. They are so starved for more businesses to be around that they never think of the long term repercussions. But I am sort of glad I left. Got way too involved in the political scene down there to the point where there are some people that I absolutely detest.

I actually feel kind of dirty for using them when I went on vacation in Seattle.

But dammit, it really is pretty drat convenient. I just want a company to come up with the same service that isn't so evil. I would even be willing to pay extra for it.

Lyft is, like, 30% as evil as uber while offering all the benefits. The entire idea of the "Sharing Economy" is complete bullshit but at least Lyft isn't the randian hellscape of Uber.

I feel like you can toss blame around on both sides. The city said they could keep operating with fingerprinting. Uber played ball in Houston with those requirements, but for smaller cities they're just like "well gently caress y'all." Also the city wanted 2% of every ride, which just sounds like a shakedown. I dunno what their justification for that is.

Also the City Council just appointed the 28-year-old son of Todd Hunter to an open seat, so I can see how you grew to detest the political scene.
