Talarico tries to fix his black voter problem by supporting slavery reparations now. So brave.Quote:
Texas Senate candidate James Talarico is now endorsing reparations for slavery to black people as the Democrat continues to be haunted by allegations of racism first hurled against him during the final weeks of his primary campaign against Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D., Texas).
Claiming Texas still suffers from the "reverberations of slavery," Talarico threw his support behind reparations for black people during a town hall event, saying he would enact tuition relief, homeownership, and baby bonds for black people to help build generational wealth. The move comes at a fraught time for the Texas Democrat as recent polling shows he's struggling to shore up support from the black community and comes one day after he was dressed down by an angry voter who declared that black people don't trust him.
"Reparations, repairing past harms, is part of my faith tradition. It's part of the values I was raised with," Talarico told an audience of mostly black people on Monday. "Until we, as a society, are committed to restoring those past wrongs, of restoring our black communities, we're never going to be able to get this country back on track … if we win Texas with a room that looks like this, that is going to be an earthquake in American politics. It will transform the politics of this country and allow us to build the political will to repair those past harms."
Every single day he says something even more pathetic.
If I'm a democrat, I'm staying in the middle and keeping everyone guessing for the most part. They haven't learned the world doesn't want this far left stuff but yet they keep bringing it. Better hope Ol Paxton keeps his mouth in check and doesn't pull a Clayton Williams….
I guess their love affair with far left ideas outweighs actually wining an office
The problem the dems have is that the most rabid, engaged, and energetic portion of their base is the extreme left whackos, mostly AWFLs and college kids. They fervently believe in all of the whacko stuff the dems are into these days. But the rest of the coalition any dem needs to build if they ever want to take a statewide office in Texas is by and large moderate to conservative, including the hispanic and black voting blocs when it comes to things like trans kids and such. So Talarico is trying niche positions on crap like reparations to appeal to the middle in those groups without sending the rabid left completely off the reservation and it isn't going to work in the long run.
