Most republican voters vote based on fear and hate. They donât love Paxton. They hate Talarico. Theyâre misinformed but itâs willful and youâll never convince them to change their minds. Blue Texans are trying but the constant divisiveness from blue staters acting superior is f@cking annoying.

Yeah, a lot of my friends are spouting the "He's twisting Christianity!" nonsense. When you're conditioned to believe that every democrat literally wants to murder babies, it's hard to break out of it.
I appreciate you all up and down this thread defending Texans. It's been frustrating for people to keep making negative comments about Texas as a whole. I love this state, and I really really really hope we can manage to elect Talarico.

u/ElOsoPeresozo 7h ago
It genuinely frightens me how Texan Republicans are detached from reality. A friend of mine genuinely thinks James Talarico is trans. Not that he supports trans people, not that he wants to trans everyoneâs kids. That Talarico himself is trans.
My friend is a college-educated Hispanic guy who works in finance. Heâs otherwise very normal, even boring. How do you counter such insanity? How can you pull someone out of such psychotic beliefs?
Oh and it gets more fun. This dude is a massive stoner, and is pissed about Texas making weed a felony, of which Ken Paxton is the main enforcer. Yet he still refuses to vote for James Talarico, because he believes Talarico is trans. Insanity.

Talarico has a good chance to win if people get out and actually vote. Low turn out is a major issue in Texas and is the number one reason Texas stays red.

You certainly have a high opinion of yourself.
You guys do the same stuff as any other politically active person. No more, no less. Iâm not sure what gives you the impression that doing things like campaigning, engaging in community, encouraging neighbors; just overall involving oneself in local politics is not a trying endeavor everywhere else.
Itâs actually kinda funny as you have the polar opposite view of what youâre describing in your OC. Youâre upset people arenât grasping there is a lot of blue in red states that work hard to combat it, but you believe thereâs no opposition in blue states.
Thereâs still a of maga in blue states. Iâm in NY, & if it werenât for NYC, thisâd be a purple state at best. Thereâs a lot of maga pieces of trash despite being one of the âbluestâ states.itâs also ironic to make fun leftists for who theyâve put into office, when all youâve succeeded in is putting the absolute worst of the worst imaginable people into office.

u/HLOFRND 9h ago
I take polls with a grain of salt generally, especially post 2016.
Hereâs the thing.
Itâs not just a few polls, itâs all of the polls, even internal polls done by the GOP. (Itâs why theyâre panicking so much.)
Even more than that, thereâs one thing that remains true- people vote with their wallets. And not in the âbuy from companies you like and boycott the ones you donâtâ way this time. Nothing moves people at the polls more than not being able to put gas in their trucks and food on their tables. People may not be moved by law breaking or social issues, but they hate being poor. And thereâs no way around it- the sitting president and the GOP have directly contributed to gas prices over $4 and insane inflation and tariffs.
But even taking THAT in stride, Iâm very interested in what Sarah Longwell from the Bulwark has been doing. Sheâs been doing insane numbers of focus groups for a few years now, and she plays snippets from interviews a lot. Over and over and over people are saying the same thing. They just canât keep voting for this. Itâs not funny anymore. Itâs not worth âowning the libsâ when people literally canât make ends meet due to political shenanigans.
Idk. I donât think any of these races are guaranteed, and even if we win, they will still be far too close IMO.
But Talarico is a fantastic candidate. Heâs an outspoken Christian. Heâs in seminary, working to become a pastor. He is calm and collected. Heâs kind. Heâs exactly the kind of candidate who COULD win in Texas. If anyone has a shot, he certainly does.
Again- maybe we will still lose, but man. As cynical as I am, and as hesitant as I am, I really donât think this is just copium. I think we have a better shot than we ever have.
The biggest risk we have with the polls is the chance that too many MAGA are too hesitant to participate so they are under represented in the polls. That, along with gerrymandering and refusing to process voter registration and the rumors of national guard at polling places, is what could sink us.

It should be added for clarity, because itâs important: Beto barged in to an NRA assembly to confront Abbott about his responses to Uvalde, and Abbott could not look more pleased at that.
It was at that moment Beto lost. He walked right into the heart of gun culture and screamed at an immovable wall. His heart was absolutely in the right place, but too many people simply either were that ignorant about affairs or loved their guns too much. To them, it was just affirmation that Dems are coming to take their guns away.

Two completely different situations. Beto was down on average 7 points in the polls, people were just hoping for a long shot upset win since thatâs closer than usual for Texas and a couple polls (out of dozens) had him tied or ahead . And he did perform really well only losing by 3 points. For comparison, Talarico is averaging ahead by 3 points. Either way the same polling error as Beto, that would be ahead by 7 points. Almost all polls have him ahead. He isnât guaranteed to win, but I wouldnât be so confident he is going to lose just because Beto did after people thought he might win. Because again, they are very different situations right now.

Democratic Texas Senate hopeful James Talarico will not appear alongside Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders when the progressive independent brings his national tour to the Lone Star State next week, as new polling shows Talarico's lead over Republican Ken Paxton in some polls shrinking inside the margin of error.
Sanders is scheduled to hold his "Fighting Oligarchy" rally in El Paso on Monday, October 19, with former Texas Representative Beto O'Rourke and Texas Representative Greg Casar, both Democrats. Talarico won't attend, his campaign told The New York Times on Wednesday.

If this is stemming from the consultant brainrot logic that it makes Talarico appear too "leftist" or whatever, this is stupid.
Bernie is the most popular politician in America outside Obama. And one of the most popular amongst Republicans.
And Talarico needs to ensure the economic populist energy that delivered record turnout for him in the primaries from low propensity and young voters doesn't dissipate.
