    I lived in Texas for a while and had no problem voting.

    found it quite pleasant as my polling station was like a 5 minute walk from my house

    Hmmm, wonder why…

    I lived in a fairly affluent area

    Well, that twist was entirely expected.

      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?

          I pointed out the obvious

          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.

          Maybe don’t be so sensitive and hostile just because you’re one of the lucky ones?

          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.

                  simple snarky response.

                  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.

                  This is the internet, grow some skin and try not to react in such a hostile fashion to a simple comment

                  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
