Asking for sacrifice, but not permission.

I noticed that one of their main themes is that Talarico will, "cross the alise and join the religious nutbags." You literally are using Kremlin talking points used to prevent flipping the seat blue. You may be one of his trolls. But for independent thinking on this issue... Not so much.

I stand by my statement, but with respect, I'll explain my frustration with your post about Talarico and claim to be an "independent thinker." It's well known by the intelligence community that Putin manipulates both the far left and right in this country. His trolls have infiltrated Bluesky. 1

Nothing more annoying than the self-righteousness of an "Atheist."

You did that very same thing in judging Talarico on his "preferred worldview." If you don't want it discussed on social media, then don't publicize it. Seriously?

Agreed; therefore, it's a personal engagement that should stay out of the public square.

Honestly, I'm just as wary of people labeling themselves "Atheist" as I am of evangelicals. It suggests the same shallow thinking that "The truth" can be known, and they know it.

As my mom used to say, "Get off your high horse."

There's a narrative being pushed by lefties that Talarico is our next "Fetterman." Of course, there is no proof of that, and plenty to negate it. I'm increasingly convinced that the far left has gone full circle and landed on the right.

I believe the stroke did Fetterman in. Manchin was always a Republican in disguise. And Sinema was a narcissistic opportunist. Fetterman seemed to be the real thing. Odd.

I've moved on. Goodbye.

Great stuff. More dancing, less war.

There's no honor with these people. A U.S. Senator restling a protester is disgusting.

lol

Thank you, but I don't have time for a lost cause. I made my admiration for Crockett known and my belief that Talarico is a good candidate. It's over. I look forward to the general. All the best.

I fully agree with you. I left the U.S. before inauguration day, and I'm living overseas for the first time in my life.

And the article refers to people in LA. LOL, they are safe. I don't think anyone in Iran is any safer for it.

"When leftists and progressives frame this as a war against the Iranian people,"

Irrelevant of some of the wording from some of the left, it's clearly understood that this is a war against a regime. A dangerous one at that. Let's see where it goes before we dance for joy.

This is idiotic. We know many are "ecstatic" right now. No one is stopping them from being so. Many of us are concerned about much bigger issues: the blowback, the illegality, and the future of Iran. Stop with this dumbass shit.

Seriously!!! OMG. This is far more frightening than muslims in your neighborhood.

Now that's a brilliant idea. I'd love to see her as speaker.

So you will admit that Talarico is not mediocre?

BTW: I'm highly disappointed that Crockett will not be in elected office for now. I found her to be one of the most vibrant and effective voices in Congress. I lived in Texas for 15 years. It's a fascist state. We need a win, not a statement.

Talarico was a Texas House member, not a state senator. The “852 missed votes” largely come from the 2021 Democratic quorum break, when lawmakers left Texas to block a voting bill. Those absences count as missed votes even though they were part of a coordinated protest, not routine neglect.

With respect, you're using race as a cudgel in the same way Republicans do.

Everything in American politics centers around race.

There's nothing mediocre about James Talarico, and he has a good chance of winning. I'm really sorry that Jasmine is sidelined for now. We need her back in DC.

Another troll lefty with less than 50 following.

52 followers. Fake.

You have it backwards. Putin had Iran. Bibi couldn't strike with Trump.
