Great troll job. The responses will continue for days

why do people vote for open borders and unfettered mass migration yet never explain why they want it?

Read through all 8 pages of "crazy" tweets and find nothing objectionable. He has my vote

Without going into all of them please defend the no prisons stance. How do you think that would work out? This will tell me if you're just a troll or lunatic lefty.

He won't be back to defend his post. Typical bot driveby.

surprise - not a bot and not on a drive by : )

Re: prisons - It's not like our prison system is a model of effectiveness. So agree that "no prisons" is a dumb idea if taken at literal face value. But perhaps there are better ways of reducing crime?

RE: borders - we need immigration at all levels, plain and simple. We should be thoughtful about immigration policy, and we should aggressively deport legitimately dangerous criminals. But I'm all for a more effective and efficient immigration policy than what we have today

Re: Trans - I'll adjust my original comment a bit. I don't think trans athletes should be allowed to compete in sports where they have an unfair advantage. I also think it's reasonable to provide some accommodations like all-gender restrooms so no one has to fear for their children. And I think healthcare options should be available to people, whether this board thinks their gender identity is appropriate or not. But also, the trans thing is blown so out of proportion as to be laughable

what else do you want addressed?

Having white skin as a virus?

Hope he wins

I have a very good friend that I've known since middle school. He's an old school Dem (liberal, not progressive). He was glad that Talerico won because he was sick of the Dem party electing people based on race & gender. I didn't have the heart to tell him what a loon Talerico is based on his own tweets/sermons. I'll save that for our discussions later during the general.

---

I bet Crockett and her base feel this is exactly why he was elected.

---

This vote was literally split between blacks and white liberals. I'll let you guess who voted for whom. I suspect after the bashing Talerico is going to get blacks are going to stay home or skip the box.

Read the backstory - he was referring to racism as a virus. Perhaps a bit heavy handed and awkward as an analogy, but racism appears to be alive and well based on the republican political ads that have been playing recently

There is a better way of reducing crime, get rid of Soros appointed DA's who refuse to prosecute violent crimes.

I've read the bible cover to cover twice and don't recall any specific mention of abortion. But hey, if we want to pick and choose bible verses to justify a modern political position, we can have a field day

did I?

Feel free to swing at it : )

No, no it is not…in your everyday world with the people around you, are you seeing racism? I do not…not in my work environment, not in my friend groups, not in social settings…never…I have friends that are all types of races…I work with all types of races…it just isn't even a an issue. I have had conversations with multiple races and their feeling is that this is just made up.

Honestly, I don't care about his context, even saying the words that having white skin is a virus is nothing more than stoking the fire of racism that isn't even there.

Yup. And don't forget the Colbert stunt. The (D) powers that be did nothing at all to help her (maybe actively tried to hurt her...). I am not seeing Talarico as some great unifier that is going to bring out the masses.

Your personal sample is clearly scientific and indicative of all people's lived experience. Case closed I guess

I believe your perception and Talarico's perception is no different…I asked you specific questions and you didn't answer them, and your response is my experience is not valid, yet yours and Talarico's are valid? Make it make sense.

Trans can have all the healthcare they can afford. The government should not pay one dime and insurances shiiidht be forced to pay for their delusions.

Prisons- liberal idiots are the problem with prisons. We have allowed courts to dictate bs stuff

Talarico is a POS human not because of his politics.

Talarico was a subpar teacher and a moron. His world view is about as relevant as AOC. Being a teacher isn't hard and he was bad at it. Let that sink in.

Your specific question being "do you see racism?"

Yes, though my personal exposure is often subtle. Primarily India and/or Black colleagues and neighbors being treated different (e.g., a PhD engineer Indian colleague being "randomly" stopped for additional security the 20+ times we traveled through a small, regional airport). Or our white friends with a black adopted son who feel the need to explain how he needs to act more careful when out than his predominately white friends

But if the argument here is to fully deny racism exists, then I'm not sure how to have a conversation

There's a fairly well known list you might want to consult in your extensive bible reading.

let's google that

So your white friends are racist? Maybe find new friends. Mine aren't racist. I see more racism by Hispanics and Blacks.

This is somewhat like saying the Bible doesn't mention the word "homicide" so killing must be ok!

Are you prochoice because Talarico is not

bigjordo said:

Yes, google is THE authoritative source for bible interpretation. I guess amidst all those warehouse looking churches springing up in new suburban areas one of the must be the First Google Church.

Yes, I am pro choice. I don't agree with him on everything

Merely pointing out that this reaction that "oooooh, gotcha!!" about some "crazy tweets" just doesn't hold water when you consider that many people (this board excluded) have world views that go beyond the walls of Texags

Many people aren't running for office. Talarico isn't pro-choice. He is pro-abortion. He does not really believe my body my choice. Most don't think the transgender movement is worth a *****

If the choice is that or open the doors to prosecuting women who need emergency medical care, I know which way I go. Saying that as someone with a wife who needed urgent, life saving care ~20 years ago that would potentially have us arrested today. It was devastating, and the right choice

This may fly in the future, and may be true in very specific areas of Texas and in some states. But thankfully, in the great state of Texas in 2026, it's not a winning message and he's going to lose by double digits to either opponent.

Proof it would get her arrested.

Also your friends being racist doesn't mean there are tons of racism by white people

The disconnect is fng psycho

"Think of a world without prisons"
- lib interpretation: yes we can do better at crime!

"The southern border should be a giant welcome mat"
- lib interpretation: yes we need better immigration policy!

wtf is wrong with these people?

It's called minimizing and justifying. Can't defend so minimize and redefine.

He also believes in Trans abortion rights, there are 6 genders, and that God is non binary.

---

Well God is one in three persons, so, I do think that makes him non-binary.

---

He is God in 3 persons. Non-binary people think they are whatever they think they are, and need mental help. See the difference?

---

The fact that God is the Trinity being non-binary is merely a math problem...

"Non-binary" people are arguing against biology. Because, APPARENTLY, they don't believe in science.
