If the plan was to win the primary without the Black Vote, you should be ok with that same strategy in the general election. That’s not the case though because it’s impossible to win without the Black Vote in Texas and most other states. They keep framing these elections based on “electability“

I and many other black voters will be withholding our vote until james Talarico acknowledges and refutes the racism, and voter suppression that helped tipped the scale in his favor. COME AND EARN IT!

Vote blue no matter who. Yea it’s gonna take more than statement that to win over black people in Texas. Talarico better bring some tangible benefits to the table .. maybe make a statement calling out them far left supporters who are dunking on Jasmine Crockett and supporters currently.

I need to make my point very clear: supporting Talarico over Crockett on policy is absolutely fine. You don’t have to (and shouldn’t!) support Crockett *just* because she’s Black. The problem I have is with the weirdos who think this is a sign to ditch Black voters and gloating.

Talarico could have stopped it by telling his supporters to stfu like John McCain did to the lady who said something racist and Islamophobic about Obama. Talarico is either spineless or he agrees with the racism. He still hasn't reached out to Black voters.

The comments under every post of Talarico winning: 1.) “I’m so glad he won!” 2.) “They were both great candidates!” 3.) “Yes! FUCK I hate Black people.” The fact that we’re not seeing commenter #3 get jumped is exactly why Black folks are terrified of Talarico’s entire coalition.

Watching people scream “AIPAC” about Crockett though she never took a dime from them while saying nothing about Talarico INHALING dark money from Trump-aligned PACs and donors… Gonna be a wild ride in the U.S. without the Black vote 🤷🏽‍♂️

Her timeline on twitter was all anti Jasmine & pro Talarico .. This is the type of person Black voters despise because they’ll get that microphone and get big followings and shit on democrats, especially Black dems, and just grift away.. There’s so many of them just like her

This that shit I was talking about a few days ago on here.

They played Jasmine Crockett the same way they played Stacey Abrams.

I really hate that after all the online hate she received with people using her race and gender to say she’s “unelectable“ now in the comments they’re acting like they love her again. This primary process has traumatized me.

OK, since he's so "electable", he has no excuses. We're expecting a win, right? Guaranteed?

I’VE SEEN ENOUGH White democrats, white democrats in leadership, & white large platform democrats want anything to do w/Black voters or Black women running for office. Nothing changes for Black voters in Texas as it’s still white rule. I’m happy to not help maga-lite win.

Was she too bold, too brash, too “Black” or too brilliant for Texas?

I doubt black voters are going to support him after they were turned away in droves during the primary yesterday and his lack of support before that.

The Black and Jewish communities warned everyone about Fetterman but PA voters didn't listen. We're warning everyone about Planter and Talarico now. Are you gonna keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?

These far-left white liberal loves asking Black people to come together when it's one of their candidates they support. Fuck you. Now should I lead a movement of Black people saying UNCOMMITTED? vote for Paxton? lets teach Talarico and the" left a lesson? 👇

I hope Talarico wins the general election. That said, so many leftists have become emboldened in attacking Black people. You can pretend you don’t need Black votes but that won’t pay off. Also, dancing on the grave of Crockett’s campaign doesn’t make you look any better.

This is all I’m gonna say, then put it to rest: Unlike other groups, Black folks don’t play that “withholding our votes” bullshit; we vote for the nominee in the general, period. But when your white pacifist offers only bible verses as MAGA continues to attack & harm you…don’t look to us for shit.

I'm fine with James Talarico winning the nomination in Texas. What I'm not fine with is the racism his supporters had towards Jasmine Crockett and her fans over the past few months. He's going to have to really put in the work to get the Black support he needs to be competitive after this.

My sole problem is that I don’t want to canvass for Talarico precisely because I share your frustrations. I’ll vote for him, but I’m not going to support him when so many of his supporters refuse to accept that Black people are the base of the Democratic Party.

Black voters in Texazz s/b preparing for the begging, especially arriving the usual 2 weeks prior to the general election. Looking forward to the insults from leftists/fauxgressives, etal, about why THE BASE has to vote for Talarico....

I would still show up to support the downballot candidates and I'd bet Jasmine Crockett would tell you the same. She's a team player and she'll show up for him. Talarico did not shut down his surrogates and consultants from the racist crap, so that negative perception will be hard to overcome.

From the posts I’m seeing, sounds like Talarico won and if that’s the case, he and his team need to figure out how to win TX without the Black vote. Good luck!

This thread is bullshit. James Talarico called Colin Allred “a mediocre black man.” The same James Talarico that has missed more votes than anyone in Texas’ legislative history. May he crash & burn. Black voters are not to be taken for granted. Good luck without us.

I will not be voting for James without a comprehensive agenda to help black Americans which shouldn’t be hard.

Just so we're clear, anyone who said Crockett couldn't win because she's black is a fucking racist.

How can the Democratic Party be unified when party leaders have never acknowledged that Black people are the base. They want our votes, can't win without our votes, then after elected, they forget we exist, panders to the center and too scared to even admit they believe in banning assault weapons.

Oh, no no no, love bug. Time actually for my fellow white people to get off their asses and do their own work instead of insisting Black people shoulder the load for us. If Talarico wants their vote, he can earn it.

And when Talarico loses (this is Texas), folks will still expect Crocket to work on their behalf. Folks are still asking why Kamala isn’t working. They want Black women to work, protest and fight, but not lead. It’s the classic “vote for the white guy, tell Black folks to fall in line” strategy.

If Black Texans don't turn out in record numbers in November, then Talarico has no shot of winning. Will be interesting.

Another reason l don’t trust regressives… There isn’t a single policy Talarico is more progressive on than Jasmine Crockett but here they are playing in our faces…again. thehill.com/homenews/cam...

We are now 41 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files.

Ticketmaster is a joke! I wasn’t able to get tickets for Ariana Grande’s show yesterday. She announced an extra date yesterday after the presale. Today I joined the queue 30 minutes early with only 1,553 people ahead of me only for the tickets to be sold out when it was my turn 😡

Gimme that tongue 👅

I’m not sure anything represents Trump’s incompetence or the Republican Party’s praise of him more than this.

“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.” Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.

2 f**king days ago.🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 Anyone who trusts this administration is braınwashed.
