It was frustrating to see Jasmine Crockett make the same mistakes as Kamala Harris in her campaign. Lots of “not that guy” and very little “why me”. Not once did I ever hear about Crockett’s policies in this entire election cycle. In contrast, every video of Talarico out there is him spitting bars about the same policies he has been fighting for for years.
Anyway, the battle is still ahead of us.
Also, the zionism.
They said "the same mistakes"
Crockett is great at the “sick burn” politics. Great for people who subscribe to RawStory for all their news, and I’d have been happy enough to vote for her, but Talarico seems to be more substantive and let’s be honest, a white guy vs black woman in Texas is a bit more of a challenge.
Yeah, I couldn’t name a single policy position of hers other than her notable support for Zionism.
She didn't really have any. Afaict, most of the people who seem to support Crockett was primarily because of her appearance as a fighter. But if you paid attention to Crockett, it was always windows dressing criticism. Criticism about style without being critical of the content.
From supporters of hers I hear that she will fight Trump. Which I tend to follow up with, so what will she do once Trump is no longer in office. It's clear very few seem to be thinking that far.
Yeah she had this clap back thing going on, but when you look at her actual responses, its all style commentary. Her policy positions show her to be pro-Israel in the same ways as Trump. Carte-blanche effectively.
As an aside, here is the candidate who just took her seat (this was from October 8th 2023):
And its an extremely safe blue seat, thanks to dummy-mandering.
I'd call that an upgrade.
Particularly bad time to be a Zionist in US politics I would think. And after the oil price shock has had a chance to fuck the rural US squarely in the keister, it'll be even less.
AI bros running their datacenters on LNG not thinking about how cutting off a quarter of the world's supply might affect their costs...
Was omega bummed to see her on AIPAC Tracker too
I did, and they were consistently dogshit
A significant number of voters vote against someone, not for anyone.
Well we have two Trump victories that say not a significant enough number of voters. The nice thing is that you can still not be the other guy while giving a "why me".
