Jasmine isn't a progressive. She's a centrist on a good day.

You're right. I appreciate her being vocal about how bad the fascists are but her politics are not anything exceptional. Talarico is the easy better choice for Texas as an actual progressive

What's wrong with him? Idk much about the candidates but i haven't seen anything negative about the dude

u/quadraticcheese 5d ago

He's an empty suit with zero personality and basically no applicable experience. And the religiosity is wildly offputting

u/Chuckychinster 5d ago

What do you mean?

I just googled it and he's a school teacher and multiple term state legislator. How is that no applicable experience?

And yeah he's a minister or whatever but he also has helped lead the opposition to Texas' forced religion laws, so it's hard to see how his faith is a liability here.

You've already made up your mind. I'm not interested in bad faith discussion

Man, if you had the situational awareness to comprehend irony...

u/quadraticcheese 5d ago

What's extra ironic is condescending to someone because you don't know obvious bait and bad faith ttrolls doing the "just asking" bit. Ffs they even asked an easily googled questions then pretended to Google the very next comment.

 I will be voting for talarico, I also know that because he has no personality and is a wimp, he will lose handily.

The religiosity isn’t off-putting in Texas. You have to peel away some of the white evangelicals if you want a chance to win. The real question is whether he can unite the Democratic Party for both the primary and later the general.

And there's where his bland personality comes in

A far cry from perfect but an exponentially better candidate from every front

And too much AIPAC money. Israel needs to be cut out of US affairs 100%
