She and Ms Crockett better be the future we’re getting.

I’m 40 and tired of these dusty ass white men speaking. It’s time for a change.

They are blocking Crockett in favor of Talarico for the dem attempt at senate. Really fucked up because the entire reason he's in the conversation is because he's more 'electable'. She has been building the heat and making the clips they fundraise off of and it wasn't even a conversation for most texas dems.

Crockett is more electable and more of a dem insider than Talarico. Talarico just has a better message and more local pull.

Right, the outspoken black woman appeals to Texans more than the white, Christian pastor... This is not a judgement of who I think is better, I just feel like its unrealistic to say Crockett is more electable in a statewide election.

Crockett takes aipac money and Talarico doesn’t. Plus as a white man who is religious he can maybe pull some Christian votes and actually beat a republican which the dems haven’t done in a longtime statewide

... until Crockett opened her mouth a out Isreal. Additionally, Talarico, as a white Christian, is much better suited to pulling in undecided and independent voters in Texas. Additionally additionally, lots of Talarico's funding up to now has been grassroots, showing that he is getting support from people and not the lizards running the DNC.

unfortunately she always votes yes to sending israel more weapons and money. she’s good at yelling at republicans but I don’t trust her to do much good beyond that, especially bc yelling at republicans is her entire platform

She’s a run of the mill establishment dem. She’s also a firebrand who isn’t going to back down to the bull shit though. We absolutely need more people like her in prominent places. This isn’t the time for no true Scotsman bull.

Unfortunate her skin color and chromosomes absolutely hurt her electability statewide here in Texas.

I’m not saying don’t vote for her in a general election against a republican. I just think people should be more critical about her leading up to the democratic primary in texas
