Comment on Stephen Colbert says CBS didn't air Rep. James Talarico interview out of fear of FCC

Talarico is vying for the Senate Democratic nomination against U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Dallas.
Interesting. Crockett is one of the very few Dems willing if not just able to navigate through Republican tactics. What could Talarico offer?
Talerico. Brings his sincerity, faith, and working class background in in one of the poorest school districts in the country. He has integrity and and a way of invoking Christianity that I think resonates in Texas. He appeals to a broad swath of voters without compromising his progressive ideals.
I would vote for Crocket if she wasn’t up against Talerico. But as is, I think he has a better shot at the general and I trust him more.
He’s good at messaging from a Christian left perspective. Before I deleted social media, some of his more viral moments on the Texas House floor would make it to my feed. I liked what I heard, but I’m not a Texas resident or voter so Crockett vs Talarico is someone else’s judgement call to make.
Talarico resonates with the deeply Christian left
Literally the only defining feature I’ve seen listed about him is that he’s very Christian.
So yeah… Not a big fan of that.
Not for you perhaps, but for a lot of people that’s important. There are way too many people who falsely think the Republicans are the Christian party, and that’s unfortunately helped by Christians who separate their faith from politics. It’s vital that more Christians speak out about the hypocrisy and perversion of the “Religious Right”, or uninformed people will continue to be led astray by them.
It’s not good for you either if they continue to vote Republican, so give him this opportunity to set them straight.
I mean she’s fully bought out by AIPAC and her messaging is weak at best from everything I’ve seen. I don’t love Talarico with all my heart but I cannot imagine any world in which he’s a worse choice than Crockett.
Hmmm. I like Crockett. I’m not from Texas but she’s got Texas sized girl balls.
Colbert is a religious wacko so they’re probably great homies.

He’s a white minister. This is how they get rid of a pesky black woman, you gerrymander her out of office.
Be careful what you wish for. She is highly respected nationally, and will have multiple offers from several news organizations very quickly, where she will have a national microphone to attack from. She no longer has to abide by MAGA rules.

You cannot gerrymander a senate seat

The senate is permanently gerrymandered.

Ah, I misunderstood. I thought they were putting two Dems against each other for the same seat. I’ve seen them edge out good, but irritating, Democrats like that before, including one of my favorite old vintage Reps, Dennis Kucinich.

Sounds like they’re both reps and both running for nomination to be the Democratic candidate for the Senate.

Talerico is serving in the state house, Crocket in the national congressional delegation.
