As a side note, “talarico” is a slang in my country for a man that sleeps with engaged women.
If it ain’t got a ring on it.

I’ve been thinking this was a prime candidate for the Streisand effect since I first heard about it. Good for him.
“Lifestyles of the Rich and Infamous”
TV super duper dead
Segment itself was pretty banal. But watching the rightwing/ Chorus crowd coming in hard for Crockett is legit whiplash. And like, Crockett has always seemed… hollow? Or performative?
Something about her reminds me of Buttigieg. Like they a suit you can just shove money and a campaign into and it will self animate and start giving speeches.
This whole thing is giving strong Mamdani vibes, not in the nature of the candidates but the structure of the race, how corporate Dems and Republicans in the end came into alignment to try and stop them. I think capital is sensing its lost the ability to control the narrative around races like this.
But legit, watching crockett flameout while the chorus crowd glazes her has been wild.
I mean Talarico isn’t great and I still think flipping Texas is an op. Only thing Texas ever turns blue is peoples balls.
Could you give a one-liner on what Chorus is?
Its an astroturf movement being run by DNC dark money groups to normalize party lines.
Turns out the shitlibs were funded.
Of fuck, that rings a bell. I had forgotten abt it.
Yeah I think its bigger on tiktok, but I know at least Midas Touch and that clown Brian Tyler Cohen are mouthpieces which were specifically mentioned in the investigative journalism.
I like Crockett for being a bit of a firecracker. She’s smart, she knows the law, and knows the exact right spots to push on to point out the obvious corruption of the right. She seems incorruptible.
Talarico has a softer approach, isn’t as combative, and leans on his faith a bit much I would say. I would say he probably plays better in Texas politics than Crockett might. He also seems incorruptible.
Two different personalities who are both qualified for what we need right now, but two different tools in a toolbox.
Crockett denies Isreals war crimes so for many that’s a non-starter. Though neither are perfect, I believe Talarico has committed to stopping offensive weapons transfers. I think he is marginally more progressive.
However both but especially crockett are still kinda mainstream Dems, Crockett does have the benefit of being on the house oversight committee and had good questioning to Pam bondi. She has a lot of the smoke, but her policies are same old same old.
Tal has a big up against crockett that will play big come the general election here in Texas.
Talerico is a white male. Crockett isn’t. This is Texas we are talking about and, as disappointing it is to say, it will play a massive role in an already uphill battle. He’s just more electable at face value for that fact alone.
I like both candidates, tal gets the edge for his funding methods to be sure, but the electability argument is a big one when you are talking about a Senate seat that hasn’t been held by a dem since LBJ.
She seems incorruptible
Didn’t she take money from AIPAC, while Talarico is reportedly not funded at all by them?
Nope.
Bruh what are you talking about?

Crockett is like, 10/10 took the Israel funded trip, 110% in the bag for Israel.
Literally data online saying that she didn’t take AIPAC money.
Alliances or voting history are different things. Don’t try to make a point if you can’t back it up.

It’s like in the fifth Harry Potter book when Hermione gets Rita Skeeter to interview Harry about Voldemort’s return, and it’s published in Luna’s dad’s magazine, and Umbridge bans it, thereby inadvertently ensuring every student at Hogwarts reads it
The effect in full force.
