my individual vote for talarico is ultimately inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, but yeah that's kind of the pointProsperdick said:Old McDonald said:"liberal" and "independent" are not mutually exclusivebobbranco said:Old McDonald said:
i'm a liberal who wants trump's impulses held in check, and as a resident of texas voting for talarico is one of the few, tiny civic levers i have to effect that. it's pretty straightforward.
Make up your mind. You have a post this page where you claim to be an independent. LOL.
You are not fooling anyone.
The problem is it's not a "tiny civic lever" when it can change the majority of the senate. That makes it an ENORMOUS lever that must be weighed studiously for the impact it could have not only on this country but also the world.

I thought we were judging our chances of candidate success on ROAS.
Abbott is more annoying than Jimmy Low T.
Doesn't mean much in my lowly opinion.
Abbott sucks, though. He's next, after soft brisket.

Jazmine Crockett would certainly handle herself with more dignity around big Mike than talarcco.
talarico only has a chance because of a perfect storm of converging factors. namely: a weak opponent, a deeply unpopular president and his incumbent party, a midterm election, and what's looking to be a D+5-7 generic ballot.jja79 said:Old McDonald said:this is fantasy, paxton is more likely to lose outright than win by 12-15Sgt.

I live out of state but am watching this from afar. Having lived in Texas for 66 years it's astounding to me there are enough stupid people in the state for this moron Talarico to even be on the ballot much less have any chance to win.
well i'm happy to hear you think so highly of my voteoh no said:falseOld McDonald said:

Abbott vs radical leftist: easily safe R, not even a thread about it here.
Paxton vs radical leftist: "toss up"
The Pravda narratives and constant attacks on Paxton for nearly a decade have been effective on the low iq masses.
If anti-communists show up for midterms, which is historically a big ask, there should be no problem because almost no one who is voting for Abbott over Hinojosa would abstain from voting for Paxton and not a soul would vote for Abbott and talcreepo. That would be a major audit red flag if secret ballots weren't so sacred and I agree with secret ballots being sacred.
But all non-communist pacs and the Paxton campaign need to get going because more and more useful idiots are getting fooled by the well-funded socialist freakweirdo, no matter how phony and disingenuous he seems even with the funding for professional ads.
Telarco is way worse than Robert Francis, but Paxton is a worse orator / debater than Cruz and has had far harsher Pravda attacks against him.
I get the PACs needing to carefully allocate funding to competitive races in other states, but they need to realize how powerful the Epstein dollars to talrico are, how the us senate is the path the socialist goals, and how powerful a "man of the cloth" telling people Jesus is ok with baby murder is for many in the masses and do some spending in Texas.

Male pattern baldness - Big Mike AKA Michelle Obama. What is unreal, some normies know Big Mike is inverted, but they dismiss ALL other aspects of the trannies in government and on the world stage. Not even asking, where did the kids come from? Zero ability to connect dots. pic.twitter.com/XHx0eiz30k

well then if talarico wins by one vote and texas consequently collapses into a socialist hellscape, you have my permission to blame meoh no said:

I have noticed on the Political site the use of name calling for someone that does not agree with you. This is like a lot of little Trumps who uses name calling like a junior high kid on the play ground. All the back and forth of nothing but differences of opinion. Just because someone does not agree with you, you can be respectful.

Calling somebody what their political positions define them to be (i.e. a communist) is not "name calling", it is accurately labeling them with an informative title. But I suppose calling Trump and ICE and anybody who the left opposes a fascist is fine with you even if the ones hurling the label are the ones trying to shut down alternate viewpoints?
