Ultimately I don’t think the problem is James Talarico as much as I think it’s what he represents.

"I agreed with everything talarico said but I still don't like him because people online were mean to me" is the exact type of commentary I expect from you.

Thank you for the empirical evidence.

It’s corny for people to have this attitude about Talarico when they never had it about Joe “you ain’t really black” Biden who wrote the fucking crime bill. 🌽🥴 This is very weird and extremely online behavior.

So he showed up to a black community event, answered every question, and pledged to do outreach to black voters in Texas. I still don’t understand the hostility he’s facing. Nobody can point to a policy issue or a personal/character issue.

Practice the harm mitigation that liberals love to preach and stop all this pontificating on shit that doesn't matter.

Well I’m not a liberal so you are talking to the wrong person.

You getting chewed up in your quotes and mentions and rightfully so for this whiny "for the vibes" politics you displayed

Well they’re welcome to come to Oakcliff with me tomorrow and share their sentiments directly to voters that I talked to before making this. James is doing fucking well and I’m telling you why, you can think it’s dumb but that doesn’t win fucking elections does it?

I watched your whole video and appreciate you going to hear him speak. I'm still really fuzzy on the actual criticism of him, his words or policies. It seems the main grievance is disrespectful online trolls? He seems to be doing the work & saying the right things? Am I off base?

A simple Youtube search will show you exactly how he’s been stepping, this was fighting racist school teachings in Texas schools, 5 years ago….

Bro just say you want Paxton to win cause wth 😭

Imagine choosing self harm in Texas when you’ve been flogging ALL Latinos over being Trump supporters and supporting ICE actions. The racism and bigotry is ridiculous and should be called out no matter who does it.

Why does someone else have to introduce y’all to the guy that’s running to be a Senator? Why can’t Black folks go look up his past tenure as a Texas state rep to see what he’s about? There are ample Texas state legislative sessions where you can see him in action on Youtube.

Old yt guy from Seattle here. Not sure why stuff like this is showing up in my feed, please educate me - how is staying ‘butt hurt’ and NOT helping to turn out the vote for Talarico - which is the same as a vote for Paxton - the right thing to do for yourself, and for all Texans?

She wasn’t criticized for “mentioning” down-ballot races. She was criticized because she said she was focusing on helping down-ballot candidates instead of helping with one of the most important Senate races in the country that could determine which party controls the Senate in 2027, an outcome that will impact the lives of millions of Americans, and disproportionately harm the most marginalized, including Black folks. This nonsense is all because of Jasmine Crockett’s unserious, juvenile behavior and narcissism. This idea that his campaign is somehow racist or that there is a major problem with racism from his supporters is something Jasmine Crockett imagined in her head.

“What he represents” so just a bunch of made up nonsense. When you have nothing on the candidate but still need to sow division, you talk about symbolic bs like this

I’m a minority, I can’t stand that they keep bringing race into everything. In what world is Paxton better for Texans than Talarico. That has to be the dumbest take I’ve ever heard. You guys have seen the corruption from Paxton as your Attorney General.

Well, James Talarico has to continue to show up and put his words into action. Second, Black people need to continue to hold him and his campaign accountable and lay out their demands. Finally, the people need to give him a chance.

I agree. I’m curious to see what he does with the investment. He also made it clear that he drew a line in the sand on consultants. I’m doing more vote videos about his education talking points. They were great

Y’all are very weird

It's a binary choice. Whom do you think will be better for Black Texans? Paxton or Talarico? That's the only valid question. Sounds like, in your opinion, that's Paxton. Should I order you a t-shirt?

You need to make sure it’s not online trolls or republicans being disrespectful before you accuse Talarico supporters. These are right wing accounts 👇🏼

Dude, hang it up. This is beyond stupid and embarrassing.

"We don't know you like that." Maybe you're right. But let me ask you this, sincerely: what have you got to lose by giving him a chance?

Prolly nothing prolly everything. That’s on him to prove to the voters.

As you said, he says all the right things. On the campaign trail, what else can he do?

The problem was never JT. In fact, it’s impossible not to like him once you hear him talk long enough. The problem has alway been the white left and their attacks in Jasmine C. They caused the friction.

I think this is true.

Ok

Y'all politics are so shallow "Annoying "? Do y'all have any policy/substantive issue to talk about???

Compare that reaction to Beto.

Im sorry what

We find you annoying. You’re acting like you have room to fuck this up and you don’t.

The conclusion seems to be that he's saying and doing what he should, but that none of it matters. He and JC would cast the same vote on every bill, but it (policy wins, avoiding losses, stopping MAGA from killing Texans (black and otherwise)) doesn't matter. Fuck that's sad.

the irony is that this energy could be spent tearing down and fighting Ken Paxton but instead you'd rather knife James in the back. Paxton goes to bed each night thanking Jasmine supporters for doing his job for him.

you look like the type of clown who would vote for ken paxton anyway

You muthafuckas are stupid...the other candidate is KEN PAXTON!!!! It's really that simple. It would be much more helpful to US, if yall took the time to explain the dangers of Ken Paxton and MAGA to black and brown people in Texas

In 6 months you will be drinking kool aid on Jasmine Crockett's compound

I agree go vote for Paxton, he will do everything Trump says like a lap dog which especially what Texas need another republican yes man in senate fuck the people yes on Trump.

Syb grifter paid psyop bubble back atfu

@groove_sdc lol these same black people voted for Biden ago penned the crime bill. Y’all are a lost cause.

Basically the candidate has to be Black or you just "wont be feeling it"

So Greg Abbot speaks for you
