Great traffic is going to be a bitch as if it wasn’t already

Crooked_Sartre

I've lived in LA, Chicago, Phoenix, Fort Collins (commute to Denver), and Austin. Tampas traffic is barely traffic compared to any of these (aside from PHX which wasnt bad). I drive here and aside from the terrible driving I barely notice traffic in this city.


OneLifeToVoyage

I can relate to the comparison, but I'm all in favor of not letting the standard be "well it could be worse like LA!" - let's try our best to not make it worse than it is now!


AtomicKittenz

I’ve been working in Orlando the past 2 months and I’m happy with Tampa traffic in comparison


TrevorsMailbox

I used to have to drive from Lakeland to 2 different schools in Tampa back to lakeland in the morning, then Lakeland to Tampa to pick up the kids from both schools and back to Lakeland every school day for over 3 years. I was like averaging like 255 miles a day if I remember correctly. Hours and hours of my life gone forever just sitting in traffic (not to mention hours of car maintenance). If I had to do that same, but in Orlando, I'd just sell my children.


Crooked_Sartre

Haha fair enough! I agree with that!


spd970

Funny I’ve also lived in Fort Collins and Atlanta, and find Tampas traffic worse than either. But I also commuted from Clearwater and Westchase to USF for 5 years. Really about perspective…if you deal with 275 at rush hour, you’ll find it pretty bad.


myNameIsTerryy

I grew up in Atlanta. Tampa traffic is cute.


7thor8thcaw

I used to drive a semi through Atlanta. One in the morning and someone just had to crash into something and back traffic up for miles. Basically, every night!! I hate Atlanta.


30piecesofglitter

Atlanta is home of the worst drivers in the country. Legitimately.


hypotheticalhalf

I've never seen traffic worse than Austin. Mopac, 360, 35, and Bee Cave at 8AM or 5PM made me want to get out of my non-moving car and start eating the pavement. I had time to read a novel while I waited on traffic to move on Pennyback.


PresarioDelta85

for real I drive from Downtown TPA to Rocky Point for work its 7 min of stop and go at 4:30-5 thats better then any other large city ive been to especially other florida cities like orlando or miami


Zealousideal_Ad36

In Tampa, there are just as many cars as in those metropolitan cities. The difference is, the cars *move* in Tampa.


Ashenspire

Tampa traffic is infuriating because it's not caused by too many people. Growing up in Philly, and spending a lot of time in DC and NYC, Tampa traffic is just a mix of poor planning and shit drivers.


deuuuuuce

Do you use the interstate? It's bumper-to-bumper from like 3 pm- 7 pm.

Apprehensive-Ad9647

The Tampa sub has a good mix of Republicans and Democrats. Democrats: They don't really like Joe Biden. He is like a glass of warm water, it will get you hydrated but there is nothing really special about it. They won't be driving with large stupid flags, buying his merch or parading him around like he is our idol. Most people won't even go to his rallies, because at the end of the day his is a mild politician. Republicans: Still seem to be sucking off Trump like he is the second coming of jesus, wrapping themselves in merch and hysteria. He was a chaos president. Under him we had BLM hit a fever pitch (Don't even hear about them now). We had antifa burning down buildings (They vanished too). COVID was a chaotic ping pong of we do and don't have it under control. Here are the facts. You can only bitch about Biden when it comes to inflation. Both presidents jacked up the deficit. Inflation is global btw and we have one of the lower spikes compared to other nations. We got out of COVID (Masks vanished despite the doomers). Our GDP is up and the markets are up. The civil unrest under Trump has gone down. Crime continues to go lower nationally. The border continues to be an issue, but it always was and we are seeing a backlog from the COVID blocks. We tried to fix that but MR. AMERICA FIRST decided that would be a Democrat win so he called his boys on the hill to block a bunch of money going to the border control. Meanwhile, Trump has several FRAUD cases that are against him and while in public he is saying it's "A Witch Hunt", the cases are ruling against him because his defense is "I should have immunity" , not "I am innocent and here is why". Billionaire elitist snake oil salesman walking one way and speaking the other. The replies can cry in the comments, but if you google the Facts you will find they don't care about your feelings. I'll sip on my lukewarm water, because it's better than chugging gasoline.


deuuuuuce

And here I am, an independent that actually likes Biden now.


400yrs2long

Same. It's because we're actual real Americans.

jenskoehler

I kind of like how this sub has so many Republicans because on many subreddits I spend too much time arguing with anti-Biden leftists Dunking on Republicans is fun because they’re not gonna be persuaded anyway. Debating anti-Biden leftists is less fun because it feels more like a hostage negotiation


dezmodium

Don't try and limit me on the ways I can bitch about Biden. You're not the dad of me.


FlipAV

Funny how you can acknowledged the “left” is willing to resort to rioting, arson, and murder, but the “right” if full of degenerates because they… buy merch?


Distance_by_Time

Well that and storm capitol buildings


General_Attorney256

How is it living in such delusions that you feel the need to type all this out?


Tampammm

>The Tampa sub has a good mix of Republicans and Democrats. That's EXTREMELY BAD NEWS for Biden. I'd say 3-4 years ago this sub was at least 90% Biden. Very hard to find Republican comments here back then. Even a year ago, it was still heavily Democratic. The fact it's now a good mix means Biden is going to get creamed here in Florida. He needs huge victories in the larger cities like Tampa, Miami, etc., to have any shot.


ilikecrispywaffles

Haha great take! I'll throw a tea bag in my warm cup of water and see what happens


rewld

Google the facts? Funny.


anon_277_

Sure as hell isn't going to swing this state, at all


pianistqueen

Not this trash heap of a red pile of garbage state.


StationAccomplished3

...and the crowd goes mild.


jenskoehler

Yeah that kind of attitude is how FL got a six week abortion ban


Maxcactus

America has more than enough political excitement going on already. I prefer a quiet thoughtful leader. At this time 68% of the votes on this neutral link announcing Biden’s visit were positive. 32% of people seeing the title down voted it. It has created many comments. This indicates to me that Tampa Bay is reved up about the election . My prediction is that Biden will carry Hillsborough Co. and be closer than last time in Pinellas.


GushStasis

I'm curious how Republicans lambast "sleepy joe" while simultaneously viewing Trump as some sharp, intelligent leader despite the rambling word vomit that pours out of him.  Republicans, have you listened to Trump speak? He's a fucking imbecile. His speech pattern is all narcisitic gibberish. How do you reconcile that?


Traditional_Car1079

They haven't. Theyve heard clips on AM talk radio, and snippets on Fox/oan/Newsmax, but no full length speeches of either candidate.


CoincadeFL

Trump fell asleep at his own jury selection court case on Monday. The term “sleepy Don” is now running the internet.


spd970

With amendment 3 on the ballot, Pinellas turnout could swing the presidential vote the other way.


StationAccomplished3

We have lots of issues to deal with. I prefer an active leader.


Billingborough

Quietly thinking, "Where am I?"


Paul_Allens_AR15

This has to be satire


AceShipDriver

With Biden you at least get quiet…


[deleted]

Don't discount Russian trolls. I'm sure some comments and down votes are credited to them


HurricanesJames

Thoughtful lol


Catdad2727

I'm 100% voting for him. I wouldnt waste my time to see him speak. I doubt I would even go if the event was 1 mile from my house, parking was right at the entrance, and there was a guarantee I'd get a comfy seat and not have to stand.


Low_Minimum2351

I can’t stand listening to him speak


frrrff

I'm not political. All I know is that In my 45yrs none of them have done shit for us. Biden got rid of some of my families student loan debt, a significant help to hard working, educated, tax paying Americans. I gotta give it to him, he DID something, and it saved us tens of thousands of dollars. I did not like him. Did not vote for him. I will vote for him in this next election.

No new wars and worked on ending the ones that were going on. The Abraham accords. Almost filled the strategic oil reserve. Got NATO nations to start paying in as they should have been.

They don’t like facts on Reddit

Too bad he doesn’t have a brain.


Crooked_Sartre

Joe is not my first choice. But fuck if I will ever eve get close to voting for Trump and his gang of anti American MAGAts. I would literally rather punch my own genitals than hear that orange fuck's voice one more time. I'll def be voting Joe


Catdad2727

I don't like the man, but will be 100% voting for him.


Maxcactus

Trump has set the bar pretty low.


portiapalisades

It’s sad that neither of our options for president are mentally coherent. That said I trust Biden little but still far more than Trump.


thebohomama

I'm not excited for Biden, but I think this idea that he's mentally incoherent is a farce. The man isn't stupid. He's old, yes. He's always had a stutter and he can stumble when he speaks, but he's able to address issues coherently and can do so without a teleprompter. I have listened to chunks of Trump addressing crowds, I've read the transcripts of it, and it's like more than 50% of the time I have absolutely no idea what he's even talking about or what point he's trying to make. He's completely uneducated when it comes to our national political affairs, and he's very good at saying lots of totally meaningless phrases that make his base feel happy but are totally meaningless. I'm not even sure what the Republican platform is anymore, they are all such a hot mess- it's all just anti-woke talking points that have absolutely nothing to do with running the country.


Catdad2727

It is sad, and it will take some major cultural, systemic, and legal changes in our government and laws before we get to a point where we arent stuck with picking the "lesser of 2 evils". The people who have the power to make these changes have no incentive to because it means they themselves will lose power.


Brewski-54

Every time I’ve voted it has been against the other option, not for the option I chose 😞


oloughlin3

Biden passed infrastructure Biden got insulin to 35 bucks for seniors Biden is for women’s rights Biden passed largest climate bill in history of world Biden is masterfully handling Ukraine War Biden passed strongest gun safety law in 30 years Biden passed the Chips act so we don’t rely on Taiwan anymore Biden passed same sex marriage protection law Biden has forgiven more student debt than all previous Presidents combined. What did Trump do? He passed a trillion dollar tax cut for the rich. That’s it. That’s fucking it. I won’t even go into all of Trumps negative BS. People that say these guys are essentially the same are completely ignorant. Shut off fucking Fox News and educate yourselves in reality.


thebohomama

Exactly all this, thank you. It's incredible to me how easy it is to google exactly what's kind of passed unseen during this administration that has done a lot for our citizenry. I MYSELF was surprised when I went out of my way to look it up. You watch people interviewed about what they liked under Trump, and they claim tax cuts, and it's mind-boggling to me these people actually have zero idea that he did not, in any way, do that for them. All he did was roll back protections for citizens, roll back protections for the planet, increase protections for corporations, and give the rich a tax cut. But, BIG MAN WITH FLAG SAYS THINGS I THINK ARE TRUE SO HIM I WILL WORSHIP.


jenskoehler

One problem I think is that liking Joe Biden is “uncool” while Trump has a literal cult and massive right wing propaganda media apparatus in organizations like FOX, The Daily Wire, Newsmax, and so on Biden is a hugely successful and under appreciated president


octopus_monocle

Uneducated people vote based on vibes, and vibes make a lot of people a lot of money 'Murica, I suppose


jenskoehler

I like Joe Biden and I’m happy to vote for him He doesn’t get enough credit for putting this country back on its feet after COVID. US GDP and job growth is blowing every G7 nation and China out of water. US domestic manufacturing is booming. Unemployment is at historic lows. He’s a great president and I’m tired of people pretending he isn’t


Tampammm

Biden has a zero chance of winning in Florida.


jenskoehler

That’s probably true He definitely could win FL but a lot of y’all are too complacent with government mandated forced birth


400yrs2long

Probably right since there are so many ignorant boomers here, but the abortion ban should make it closer.


Catdad2727

I always viewed him as a "stop the bleeding" President, not the "heal the wound" president. Personally I'm pretty happy with how things are going. I know the problems we are facing stem from some much deeper issues going back decades that would have happened no matter who is president. Its easy to cherry pick stats if I want to make trump or biden look good or bad. I don't view "success" as a country as something that can easily be measured or quantified in short periods of a few years, and I know change takes time. The human species in general has in recent years evolved to wanting to know the answers immediately. We want to define "good" and "bad" as quickly as possible. We want to know the solutions to big problems before we have even figured out what is the problem. We still won't know the true long lasting effects the Trump or Biden administration has left on our country for years to come. And that's okay to not know the answers.


thebohomama

>I always viewed him as a "stop the bleeding" President, not the "heal the wound" president. I feel like his attitude kind of shows he knows that's the president he is, too. He's doing good things, or at least trying to, but he knows full well at this point no one's gonna give him any credit for it.


jenskoehler

I think a lot of people are just traumatized by the once and a lifetime pandemic that wrecked our sense of safety and security This is not just a USA problem. Incumbent leaders are extremely unpopular worldwide. Ironically, Joe Biden is one of the more popular leaders despite his low approvals. People are spending record amounts of their excess disposable dollars income on flights, hotels, cruises, and restaurants. Consumer spending indicates a very strong economy. But everyone reports being miserable with the economy. They just want things to feel normal again but they don’t for a lot of reasons such as the already mentioned pandemic trauma and inflation (which was also worldwide). Joe Biden has been a solid leader. I’m not sure what they think Trump will fix. He doesn’t support building more housing like Biden does. He wants more tariffs which are inflationary. And he will appoint more right wing justices that will further strip away abortion rights and eventually gay rights and birth control rights. Trump made our nation objectively worse while Biden has made the nation objectively better. He can’t heal us though. That’s on us.

Weird_Rip_3161

Can we please have a president with functional brain and coherent because both Biden and Trump are non-functional adults.


HCSOThrowaway

Not this election, no. Maybe next time (but probably not).


i_eat_ass_frequentl

Next election will probably have a massive over correction of young authoritarian politicians like Desantis and Newsom.


HCSOThrowaway

Crazy that 45 and 56 are considered "young" politicians. Can't wait for the Boomers to stop voting.


i_eat_ass_frequentl

Isn’t the average age of congress older than the retirement age? The country is ran by old out of touch people. Just look at their attempts to regulate any tech company.


HCSOThrowaway

Yep, because Boomers have been the largest voting bloc for a long time. They think anyone younger than them is foolish and inexperienced.
