Tomorrow is going to be a mess and I'm going to hide under my bed for a fortnight.

In case you can't tell, I'm being *incredibly* sarcastic.

I mean, this would get rid of both Jasmine Crockett and Kamala Harris. Probably every Black woman in Democratic politics. (except the ones that stay quiet like they're supposed to)

The difference here is that the "electability" arguments didn't come from her supporters but from her opponent's and, when pressed, they fully admitted that it was because of the color of her skin.

There's also a major difference between "let's go to war" and "let's nuke the filibuster for voting rights".

And the thing is that to win the general, Talarico has to win the primary!

It's funny cause the same people who regularly rail against the NYT and WAPO are currently clutching their pearls over this.

Honestly, the best thing about the 2026 cycle is Henry Cuellar and John Cornyn literally wasting away in real time in a desperate attempt to keep their positions.

Y'all have been talking about the Texas Democratic Primary race while a Nazi is probably gonna be our nominee in Maine. I think making sure that is not the case should be our collective priority.

These schmucks don't fucking matter. They think that Texas primaries are for the weak, they are not. They're a bunch of pussies who couldn't handle a single mean word and then turnaround to worship LBJ. Shut the fuck up.

Anthony Cruz, Jr. (King of THEE Gayz) @kingoftheegayz.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

Here's exactly how this is gonna go: 1. Jasmine *probably* wins the nomination next Tuesday 2. People like @merovingians.bsky.social completely give up on Texas 3. Texas Dems do what we've been doing and work our asses off.

It's too late to tell Talarico supporters to "stop". But they need to stop. He will probably win this primary but he will lose worse than the mediocre Allred did in 2024, because of what his campaign and associates are doing today. Dont' say you weren't warned, though.

Because if Talarico is just going to be Fetterman, Manchin, Sinema or Cornyn/Paxton lite, there is no point for Black folks to hum and sway in those voting lines in November either. But y'all got it.

Why would black folk vote for the white man who makes you hum and sway when black folk could vote for the black candidate who stays on beat? That's why the content creator Morgan was concerned about Carville's connections to Talarico's campaign and what their agenda means for Black Texans.

Then you have James Carville and his ilk running around saying no more Black candidates, just find the white person that can run up in the black church and get those blacks to hum and sway and there's your winner.

What exactly does "independent of Democrats" mean? Does that mean if Trump is impeached, Talarico will vote to acquit so the Republicans he somehow convinces to vote for him won't be mad at him? Does that mean he'll be appeasing white voters who just want to "come together and get along?"

They didn't even know who James Talarico was but they had marching orders from this "Keith Edwards" person (who is now running around saying "Vote for James Talarico because he's going to be Independent of Democrats") to encourage people to stop Jasmine Crockett by shutting down her money.

"And we're gonna punish you severely if you do try." That's why people got so upset by the Bowen Yang/Matt Rogers podcast because not only did they tell Jasmine Crockett to sit down and stop trying, they tried to rally other white people to cut Crockett off at the knees by not giving her any money.

Honestly, the TXSen D primary is kinda quaint It’s not sunshine, but like 99% of TX Ds like both (most of the discourse™ is non-Texan) But then you look at the Republican primary and I’ve received my 50th mailer from one candidate implying the other is a woke Muslim Jew

My fellow white people. Vote for Jasmine Crockett in the Texas primary. Y’all want to be edgy, alternative & progressive. There ain’t nothing more punk rock, alternative & progressive than a Black woman Democrat running for the US senate in Texas.

This guy spent an entire thread saying that Crockett was lying about the attacks against being racist and then *literally posted the attack ad that is an entire racist dog-whistle* with no sense of irony. Like, at this point, we might as well just restart the Dixiecrats.

Anthony Cruz, Jr. (King of THEE Gayz) @kingoftheegayz.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

I am okay being a problem now. If your response to racism is acquiescence, then you're okay with racism.

Dude: "She wouldn't win Texas.

I think she's fantastic but let's be realistic.

Seriously, I get wanting to swing for the fences but what works in other states would not work in Texas.

A couple more election cycles maybe"

"And don't jump on me and call me a racist because I'm merely pointing out reality.

America isn't there yet.

It's our job to get it there.

To do that, you actually need to win elections and hold power."

Me: "We have to tolerate some light fascism to defeat fascism. Very pragmatic."

Dude: "That isn't what I said."

Me: "Literally what you said. We should deny supporting the most qualified person that reflects our values best because of the color of her skin."

Neither are neoliberals. They are progressives. Not socialists, I admit, but certainly not like Reagan or Thatcher.

We can't win without 11% of our electorate. Black voters feel disrespected and rightly so.

Anthony Cruz, Jr. (King of THEE Gayz) @kingoftheegayz.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

We had three months of "Texas won't elect a Black woman" and then those same voices making sure to prove it. What should frighten all of us is the idea that Black voters decide they've had enough and stay home!

Anthony Cruz, Jr. (King of THEE Gayz) @kingoftheegayz.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

And then we get to a couple cycles later and it's still "not yet". At this point, Democrats need to be more honest that our Black Caucuses are window dressing and little else.

my honest belief is that if you are not visibly angry, the dem voter will not think you fit for the moment. talarico may be 120% correct but ppl want to hear the battle hymn of the republic not matthew 25

That is incorrect, Talarico is Schumer's preferred candidate.

What's funny is that a lot of folks On Here (TM) were *not* saying the same thing when GOP internals were posted showing Talarico doing better.
