I don ' t know too many conservatives who regularly burn the American flag . Then you don ' t know how to retire a flag . <| sep |> I hope this is real <| sep |> There are lots of stuff to do there , something for everyone . Every big city has its drawbacks but coming from someone who ' s lived in TX for most of her life , Austin is one of the very few places in TX I ' d be willing to settle down in , tbh . I ' m not crazy about the rest of the state . <| sep |> I ' d say it is the player who is a sadistic bitch . <| sep |> This is why xp needed should be increased again . <| sep |> The whole notion of elections being decided by battleground states seems crazy in general . Not just that , but proportionality at the state and local levels , toorepublicansredmap . And electoral competitiveness at the state and local levels , too . Many of my state and local ballot lines had only one candidate , and that candidate was decided during a primary which I also voted in that also had only one candidate . The American twoparty system is so legally e n t r e n c h e d s a n d e r s d e m ocraticlaborpartyackerman that even in areas like mine , where the Republican Party doesn ' t even run candidates , we still don ' t have a leftwing alternative to the corrupt machine Democrats . Hell , we had housing activists come to our Jacobin reading group and tell us that they consider it utopian to restore rent control to its pre 1994 state at this point .
