People of color in Texas aren't stupid. This is apartheid. The POC vote has been silenced through gerrymandering. Talarico can win because he can get the white vote that has not been silenced and he has pledged to make voting fair again here. I think you are probably in Jersey so have no clue how things really are here. This will actually UNITE the democratic party. What side are you on?
Traditionally, blacks don’t get out and vote and not only that when they do the Nazis harass them.
What was interesting as it Al Gore who got fucked over got more of the black vote than Obama. They didn’t turn out for Kamala Harris.
One of the most disgusting things is that women voted for Trump. Those bitches deserve to have menstrual cramps for the rest of their lives. For the blacks who voted for Trump or did not get out and vote fuck them too. Anyone who voted for Trump or didn’t vote democrat needs to STFU because at this point they’ve earned the oppression of a corporate criminals running this country.
Texas is gerrymandered up the kazoo so our POC votes are mostly silenced.
We never had concentration camps being put up for our brown people before. This is a new world.
Texans are going to come out in record numbers because we don't want any kind of dictator pedophile bullshit trying to control us and the half of population who are immigrants now understand that it isn't the criminals going to those camps - it's them and same for the blacks.
Anyone who is other than white understand that if they don't vote for Talarico they are saying it's ok to send them and their family to a concentration camp.
This no longer the same country. No previous examples fit.
There should be a list of all the people involved in the gerrymandering and they should be brought to justice frontier style. Ukrainians would probably launch drones into their mansions. They believe in democracy.
I agree. Do not hold the Supreme Court accountable? Nothing. They make their own rules.
It’s not hogwash that Blacks don’t turn out to vote like they should. It’s also not hog wash that a lot of women supported Trump and still do. I’m not going to see them as a protected class. Anyone who supports Trump is an enemy. Anyone who doesn’t get out and vote needs to shut their bitch mouth. If I offend women and blacks, fuck them. If they vote for Trump I don’t consider them human.
If we're very lucky Talarico can win and then he can pave the way for Crockett. With the corruption and cheating already in place as it is now, with the suppression of the black vote and what they are planning for the suppression of women's votes, Talarico was the right choice.
Voting is state run and the guys running this state are MegaMAGA. Even if the SAVE act is squashed federally, I fully expect it to be enacted in my state.
This was simply not the time for a black woman here... but the next time could be seriously up for grabs!
What people don't know and is vital to say is that Texas is apartheid. We actually have more people that vote democrat than republican ALREADY IN THE PAST. We have small number who are controlling the larger number. The gerrymandering greatly silences half our population (who are immigrants of color). Even without the catastrophe of ICE here, we were already blue in reality (if you don't count the racist cheating) but now that our vast immigrant population understands that the regime had zero intentions of actually ONLY going after criminals and drug dealers in their communities and sending all immigrants to the big concentration camps being built here, the republicans have lost vast swathes of our voters.
With the white population figuring out that the whole affordability, no wars and go after the pedophiles was a con job it no longer matters how much racist gerrymandering they did, even families that have been republican for generations and even people who are racist still are going to vote against pedophiles and making every day life harder for us and white, male, hetero, Christian Talarico is making it easy for them to jump ship.
MAGA is terrified because even with the gerrymandering and all the cheating and working on getting rid of women voters through SAVE and intimidating immigrants and taking away voting rights for people who are vocal against them and even with making us jump through hoops to get to the far away places that they will make us go to for voting in our democratic districts - they will STILL LOSE! Talarico appeals to EVERYONE. Blacks and Latinos understand that he will fight to making voting fair again and get back representation. Christians see that he has promotes a Christianity that is not about hate. People here don't want our neighbors kidnapped, tortured and killed.
Most of us want out of apartheid.
What we all need to do is start spreading the word NOW for everyone to get their butts to EARLY VOTING! They can't put ICE everywhere during early voting. Mail in will probably be taken out of the picture for the midterms in Texas with Abbott running things.
Help others to get to early voting with you. Spread the word. If they are able to take away where you can vote or take away your registration, that gives you time to fix that for election day. On election day get there in the morning in case you need to get yourself to another voting site. If you need help getting to vote, ask for it on Next Door or ask a neighbor. Ask people you meet at the voting site when they turn you away to take you to the right place. Speak up!
If every person gets on social media or knocks on a cool neighbor's door and asks if they need help getting to vote, we will defeat enough of the cheating to win anyway. Republicans know this, and that's why they were so terrified of Talarico that they tried to remove him from interviews on television. Talarico will get the votes that have not been silenced. White folks in the white districts who are decent humans (most of us) are going to be voting for Talarico. There might be so many that there is no way to cheat their way into office.
There is great hope for us here in Texas in November!
I should be a little clearer. Our population is 40% immigrants and 12% black here in Texas. Latinos make up about 40% of our population as well. The black vote has been gerrymandered out of representation. What got MAGA the white house was the lie that they were going to go only after criminals in immigrant communities but immigrants now know it was beyond a lie. Without that 40% of the population and with only even a small number of white districts turning, we will have a blue Texas no matter what the racist gerrymandering was made into. This is why Talarico terrifies Republicans about Texas. We didn't NEED to win over the women or blacks to win this senate seat. Women would still vote with or without a woman representative and the blacks have already been silenced unless they came out in record numbers, which they didn't and we didn't expect. What we needed was Talarico to win over the Latinos and the Whites. He did that.
Add the blacks need to be brought out for Talarico not only because Crockett tells them how important it is, but because they really NEED a non-white supremacist senator.
The sleeping giant has awoken! It’s not about R vs. D. It’s about the wealthy vs. the rest of us! Thank you Latino’s! Keep up the voting even if you didn’t vote for those I wanted. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I appreciate your vote.
A refreshing win in Texas. I watched as the polls closed and even with the "switch" up on democrats voting spots. There seemed to be more enthusiasm for voting Blue. Talerico has taken a high road type of platform. No hate language, name calling or wild raving promises. My hope is he adds more viable specifics to his campaign ( other than Billionaire 's and political influence) things that could demonstrate helping constituents with issues in Texas. I would think most people are seeking the leadership style he demonstrates. The intensity of the current, egocentric- ongoing daily drama is really disturbing on so many levels.
From Texas: Born and raised in Texas Blue, tired of the GOP because of them killing Public Education. Which is the great equalizer. Retired teacher here too.
Based on what I seen coming from young people is that they are generally quite ignorant. Someone don’t even know all the words of the Pledge of Allegiance and tell you what the three branches of government are. It’s not entirely their fault because schools as far as I can tell not teaching what citizenship actually means and social studies. In my opinion some of the things that the kid should be taught first and foremost is a little bit about the constitution and the Bill of Rights. Unfortunately because we are living in not only the post truth era but the asshole era the Nazis will call that critical thinking and they hate that and they will probably call anything regarding the Bill of Rights liberal propaganda. I think young people today are dumbed down and tuning out just like the young people in China have been doing for quite some time. I hope that changes. Maybe I’m just not seeing it.
it's really not much redder than CA distribution wise... but infinitely more voter suppressed and gerrymandered than any other state. awesome o see the resistance rising
Long overdue ! they have the guns, but we have the numbers!
Look, honey Jasmine Crockett WIN was long overdue!
Do you know anything about American civil rights at all?
This will probably break the Democratic party.
So it’s your idea to destroy the work that has been done by the black caucus!
People like you have been trying to get rid of Jasmine Crockett since she was elected!
We had a plan it was altogether. It was being executed, and this guy stuck his finger in it.
Stupid white folk think you are going to get the black vote by doing this⁉️
I’m done with Texas goodbye.
People of color in Texas aren't stupid. This is apartheid. The POC vote has been silenced through gerrymandering. Talarico can win because he can get the white vote that has not been silenced and he has pledged to make voting fair again here. I think you are probably in Jersey so have no clue how things really are here. This will actually UNITE the democratic party. What side are you on?
Gerrymandering did play a big role. There’s always going to be racism unless it becomes legal to exterminate racist.
There will always be liars unless it becomes legal to cut their throats.
There will always be pedophiles unless it becomes legal to throw them into a chipper shredder.
There will always be insurrectionists.
There will always be a traitors Unless we start enforcing the law and executing them.
Exterminate racist? What?!
Cut their throats?
Chipper shredder?
Are you a psychopath too?
Now I know you’re stupid!
Hate is supposed to be a MAGA thing. I'm wondering about you two.
Traditionally, blacks don’t get out and vote and not only that when they do the Nazis harass them.

You have issues.
Hogwash! the goddamn supreme court. I pointed George Bush has the president.
I can’t believe that you actually wrote that bullshit!
Al Gore won the election in Florida!
Corruption at the highest level of government‼️
suppression of the vote by the goddamn Supreme Court‼️
There is not a day that goes by I don’t curse the name of John ,Roberts the CORRUPT‼️
I agree. Do not hold the Supreme Court accountable? Nothing. They make their own rules.
It’s not hogwash that Blacks don’t turn out to vote like they should. It’s also not hog wash that a lot of women supported Trump and still do. I’m not going to see them as a protected class.

Oh really, at what point after his election did he try to mend fences?
He did not‼️
He did. He sung her praises. You haven't been watching.
He has some gigantic shoes to fill.
The Court of Roberts the Corrupt is doing everything they can to to destroy America’s Civil Rights
Best money can buy👍🏾
What other choice does he have?
She was our Civil rights champion.
The absolute worst, most corrupt State in the entire Union!
She was the only reason I followed Texas politics at all.
That boy has some gigantic shoes to fill!
Colbert was today’s Comey!

Thank you for this clear explanation of what's happening on the ground. 🙏🍞💪❤️🇺🇸
You're welcome Roger. It is a bit hard to understand it from the outside. Texas is a unique kind of place.

A very involved BCDP volunteer. Since 2018!
I'm afraid Republicans are going to do everything they can to disenfranchise voters who could upset the apple cart.
When I was in high school and College in Texas 1968 - 1975, Texas was viewed as permanently a Democrat state. There was no blue or red back then.
A refreshing win in Texas. I watched as the polls closed and even with the "switch" up on democrats voting spots. There seemed to be more enthusiasm for voting Blue.

Texas looks better in BLUE. 💙

Are the Chinese youth educated in civics laws?
Now Ohio needs to get it's act together. Especially since having a Republican governor did not stop Ice from coming into its cities.
Lots of red states are actually more like red with blue polka dots. Like MO.
Remember: The guy who passed all the Great Society bills back in the sixties was from Texas. LBJ
it's really not much redder than CA distribution wise... but infinitely more voter suppressed and gerrymandered than any other state. awesome o see the resistance rising
GOP Representatives keep Texas poor, and then lies to them to keep voting for them, and the voters are so stupid they keep voting for them!
Texas could be ground zero for our second civil war.
I might be getting a little off the subject, but I would love to see Crockett as President.
