James Talarico won the Democratic nomination for a US Senate seat in Texas on Tuesday, capping a remarkable rise from state lawmaker and seminary student to the party’s standard-bearer in one of the key races of the 2026 midterm cycle.
With his blend of faith-based populism, bipartisan appeal and generational energy, Talarico defeated Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, a firebrand beloved by the party’s base but who struggled to dispel concerns that she could defeat a Republican in a state that has not elected a Democrat statewide in more than 30 years.
A jubilant Talarico told supporters in Austin before the race was called: “We are not just trying to win an election. We are trying to fundamentally change our politics. And it’s working.”
So you blindly think every Christian is bad?
no, 1/2 are bad the other 1/2 are deluded and many both, all believing in “teapots”. What sort of critical thinking can someone that easily deluded bring to the world in these troubled times ?
They might be “decent” (benefit of the doubt) despite being religious but that’s only one criteria needed in a representative.
Not blindly.
With evidence in front of my eyes.
yes.
I blindly think anyone the FCC tries to cancel is good
Just like they probably think every gun owner is bad, and every SUV / pickup owner, and every business owner, and every landlord, and pretty soon you’ve alienates all your potential allies and the Republicans win again :(
Yeah, the Republicans win because the left is alienating the right winger liberals, right?
No, but in part because many on the left demonize entire demographics (e.g. Christians) and drive them into the hands of the fear-mongering Republicans.
