James Talarico:

I haven't been this impressed with a candidate in a l-o-n-g time.

If @jamestalarico.bsky.social is the future of the Democratic Party, we are in VERY good shape.

1. If Talarico cannot defeat Paxton, it says more about Texas voters than many care to admit.

[Deuxcents]

2. I kinda thought Beto O'Rourke had a shot at winning so I hope Texas Democrats get behind Talarico

Texas gotta break out of the R stranglehold this time

4. It is all about turnout...Texas Dems have a history of very low turnout.

We could have been a Blue State years ago if voters would just VOTE. But in this particular race, Paxton is such a scumbag there should be no excuses.

The thing that really aggravates me is about 84% of Texans live in urban areas and yet because of the extreme gerrymandering rural voter control most of Texas politics. This is a purposeful thing by the GOP - in the cities people sometimes have to wait 2-4 hours to cast their ballot where in rural areas it is in-and-out. They could have more polling places. Many different ways of voter suppression are the norm here in Gilead.

3. It does, but it also says there's some hanky panky going on.

The gerrymandering, the cheating, etc. Believe me, there are many of us in Texas who are trying hard.

5. Pretty much the same here in Florida. It's maddening

[TBF]

8. We need ALL of the base to turn out -

I have faith in Latinos and we need them big time. We also need everyone else and I hope we can do it.

6. DNC needs to spend big in OH, AK and TX

We only need one to flip but 3 would be amazing!

7. Something needs to be done about

Supreme Court corruption as well.

9. Don't discount Ossoff!
