Oh, I guess I need to add that I'm not a person of color, and I'm no longer a Texas resident. I'm interested in supporting black men and women in political races.
Jasmine Crockett is a true Texas wild card and she’s more than capable of learning not to alienate her constituents. She reminds me of another fabulous Texas wild card, Governor Ann Richards.
As for this old white liberal Democrat, the last thing I want is another electable, safe, oatmeal candidate. We need to wake voters up and give them a reason to vote. Tyranny is muscling its way into power; milquetoast won’t cut it.
Great stuff. I've got grave doubts about Dem prospects in TX. And Dems don't need to be alienating Butches or Latinos, two strong constituencies for them in the state I'm sure, but as anti-Trump Black woman power "fighter" Jasmine Crockett is it. Her charismatic persona gives the Dems a better shot than whatever milquetoast the centrists/moderates (I really don't know the diff so you'll have to tell us ab that some time) would come up with.
I was thrilled when the judge races were won by black women. I have hopes for Texas. And after the tariffs wiped some farmers out, I think they're likely to be hesitant to vote for Republicans.
Yes. Texas is worth fighting for (and about, and over...). And Crockett is a fighter in a very good way, and yes, this is a good time for growth on her part and on all of our part. Yes, campaigns are about winning. But - and - also about a chance to say what needs to be said.
I'm a retired white guy in Pennsylvania with a liberal streak that goes back to the '60s. I can't come to Texas to help Jasmine Crockett, but I'm cheering from the stands and sending money.
What's in the back of my mind, though, is that I felt the same way about Fetterman when he started his campaign for the Senate. That hasn't turned out the way I would've wanted, as he turned into the most Republican-like Democrat that I can recall.
I need help here. I've sent campaign donations to Jasmine. My one reservation is related to her getting on the same level of MTG during their highly publicized repartee. I thought she was better than that. I don't want Democrats to mimic Republicans because they're so vile and lack integrity. I was disappointed in her for behaving in an undignified manner. Aside from that, I think she's sharp-witted and extremely committed to her constituents. But I think Talarico may beat her because he's never going to meet another politician’s insults with petty wrath. I'm concerned with the loss of respect I'm witnessing in the political sphere. It's frightening and disappointing. I want our lawmakers to be dignified.
Thanks for taking on this tough subject, so well done. As someone who knocked on doors for Obama, I too hope to "come out of this with a coalition that is more honest and more whole..." X, you're sure doing your part!

Damn, you make me proud to ride tall in the saddle with you!
