Talarico could say nothing but the N word for the rest of the campaign and still win the Black vote lmao

The dems in TX would have been better off with Crockett as their candidate. At least they would have got the majority black vote. I dont think this mini beto will even get the male black vote in TX.
English
@EricMGarcia Because the primary election in California occurs 5 months earlier than the general election in Texas
English
So why did Jasmine Crockett head out to California to campaign with Becerra before she did a joint event with Talarico after the March Primary? Crockett and Becerra never overlapped in Congress.
English
@EphemeralMTB @AngelaBelcamino This analysis is very incomplete
English
@AngelaBelcamino I think you are going to see an underwhelming turnout from black Democrats because they seemed pretty angry that Talarico replaced Crockett.
They understand that if James wins, the Democrats might view this as the new winning strategy and start doing it nation-wide.
English
James Talarico is getting a lot of media attention lately, and Democrats seem convinced he could flip a Senate seat in Texas.
Does he actually have a real chance to win?
English
@EthanHiguain @LeftyWinter When you stand back and watch, they operate just like MAGA when it comes to misinformation and fake outrage.
English
@LeftyWinter There’s NOTHING wrong with Crockett. This is just manufactured online outrage.🤔

For my Broward County friends, please read this article. Because Republicans carved up Broward into new and illegal districts, decisions need to be made now by those intending to run. I know @RepDWStweets. I have watched her work and lead. There is no better candidate for this district. While I understand the anger of the black community over potential loss of representation, that anger should be at those who created this district.

@EricMGarcia The numbers show that multiple demographic groups support her, not just Black people. Yet some people in these replies are acting like only Black people are dictating whether she runs? Kamala's actually pretty popular, and people on here have a tough time acknowledging that.
English
Hardly the first person who has said this, but Democrats have the same split Republicans had with Trump in 2023: Democratic leaders, elected officials and fundraisers want to move on from Kamala Harris. But the base (that is, Black voters) still want her to run.

@Bakari_Sellers @shannonrwatts I prefer it this way. Hopefully everyone will forget about it after a few weeks.
English
Democrats are funny. Trumps approval is -236 and we release an autopsy from 18 mos ago.
English
@conorjrogers There was polling that showed Crockett either within range or tied (or even slightly ahead of Paxton, if I recall correctly - might be wrong). So I imagine it would be competitive if she were in it. For whatever strange reason people like you act like that data never existed.
English
Imagine if this race had been Crockett vs Paxton lmfao
English
@ettingermentum Some of you hate Jasmine for doing regular things. It's weird.
English
This is the actual face of the establishment wing of the Democratic Party today. Not David Shor or Matt Yglesias or any other pundit who says they’ve learned from past mistakes.
Christopher Webb@cwebbonline
Wow! Jasmine Crockett just endorsed Xavier Becerra for governor, and I was here to see it. Amazing morning. [Dulan’s Restaurant]

@TheStefanSmith So cut off your nose, to spite

shut the fuck up man

If Clyburn’s seat is removed, Democrats should immediately announce South Carolina will lose its primary position. We should not boost my home state’s economy with preferred status if this is how we’re treated.

@crumblinsaltine @groove_sdc Jasmine ran a bad campaign, partly due to timing and partly due to strategy. Kamala ran a good campaign with some things that could have been different in hindsight.
English
@groove_sdc Yes, racism and sexism was evident in both races. However, we have to admit that both of those amazing black women ran very bad campaigns.
English
And if it worked against both of them you know they’re going to keep doing it until we stand up to it and stop it.

@ColeSandick This is absolutely bonkers reasoning and you clearly are not familiar with the CBC.
English
A huge reason why we’ve lost things like the VRA is that institutions like the CBC have spent ungodly amounts of political capital attacking anti-racist leftists for talking about the economy. Bernie polls at 90% with Dem voters and 80% with black voters, what does this achieve?
Vincent Evans@VinceEvans
The Supreme Court decided Callais on April 29th. Since then, Black political representation has been under direct assault across the South. And I haven’t heard a mumbling word from @BernieSanders. I checked both his X accounts — silent. I checked his Instagram — nothing. I checked his Senate website — crickets. At this point I’m starting to get worried. Has anybody checked on Senator Sanders? Because Black political power is under attack and somehow we can’t seem to run him down. If y’all know somewhere else to check, let me know so we can get word to him.
English
@Huey_Freeman_X @phoenixrisng821 Every Republican and two Dem senators (Manchin and Sinema) blocked it. Biden and Kamala campaigned for it in Atlanta, and Joe even got pushback for saying Senators obstructing were aligning with Bull Conner. They were willing to carve out the filibuster. That's the fuller context
English
@phoenixrisng821 One of the things I’ll never forget during the 2020 election is Black voters doing the impossible and gifting the democrats a Blue Georgia, 2 senators and the majority just to be told by liberals “I don’t know” and prioritizing infrastructure over our voting rights
English
You hear the silence of Bernie Sanders and leftists? Black voters could never afford to splinter their votes & move like White leftists in protest voting. Any policy gains we have seen is due to us voting together in mass. "You move, we move. Just like that."
English
@eternallyRaq What a dumb thing to post. It's weird to celebrate a Dem losing power. It's amazing how petty some leftists can be.
English
@ZaidJilani It sounds like you think you can tell her who she is. That's weird.
English
One reason KH is such a poor politician is she never owned who she really is nor told anyone her true thoughts about anything. Obama owned growing up in a multicultural household, for instance. And JO is not running away from his belief that both parties are corrupt.
English
This is a better campaign ad, both on politics and substance, than anything Joe Biden or Kamala Harris ever produced.
Just saying.
Jon Ossoff@ossoff
Congress has let drug companies rip off Americans for decades. Lobbyists, campaign cash, and a system that protects industry profits. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
English
@JosephWMiner @speechboy71 He messaged his Israel stance better than Crockett, but they were largely similar. Talarico had the major donors, sitting Senators, news outlets, and the most well known Dem consultants. He was always the establishment candidate, but lefties convinced themselves that he wasn't
English
@speechboy71 I don’t know if I would describe Talarico as the establishment-ish candidate. Most lefties liked him more because he’s more skeptical of Israel.
English
The problem with this argument is that Platner beating Mills and potentially besting Collins is a unique case (so far).
The establishment- ish candidate won in the Texas primary. Establishment picks have or will win nominations in Ohio, Alaska & NC. Even in Massachusetts, Markey looks poised to prevail over the challenge from Moulton.
Michigan could go like Maine but if it does it’ll be because of the quirkiness of a three person race.
If anything one of the interesting things about where Democrats are post-2024 is they haven’t really gone full Tea Party like Republicans did post 2008
bryan metzger@metzgov
Graham Platner defeating Susan Collins in November would have all sorts of interesting downstream effects beyond just Senate margins. It would prompt a rethinking among Democrats about the types of candidates they recruit and the types of campaigns they run.
English
@lindsayballant The way you all on the far left spreads misinformation is just like MAGA. Lies by omission, oversimplifications, goal post moving - everything is just like MAGA. No one has harmed the free palestine movement more than you all.

Sam Robinson@samueljrob
Kamala Harris in Detroit says President Trump was “pulled into this war by Bibi Netanyahu,” and is using the Iran war as “a feeble attempt to distract from the Epstein files.”
English
@_rotimia That's a single excerpt from a 40-45 minute discussion. It's weird the conclusions Kamala's critics and sceptics draw from every little word she says.
English
Given how Harris lost, it’s kind of shocking that she doesn’t even mention the economy but still does what every Democrat who has recently lost an election does: leaning on credentialism instead of focusing on what you’re going to give people to improve their economic situation.

CNN: Kamala on why she is considering launching another bid for the presidency in 2028 “I served for four years being a heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States. I spent countless hours in my West Wing office, footsteps away from the Oval Office. I spent countless hours in the Oval Office, in the Situation Room. I know what the job is. And I know what it requires.” cnn.com/2026/04/10/pol…

@itslexbytheway This take is old and tired. Some black ppl hold traditional values in certain areas. That doesn't necessarily mean "conservative." Black ppl also tend to be more liberal on things like economics, immigration, and the social safety net than other groups, but no one mentions that.
