So let’s talk about #Texas, and #primaries and interference. I’ll admit that maybe it’s sour grapes, as I love Jasmine, and I feel she was done dirty by Colbert first, and the TX #GOP Supreme Court, who absolutely interfered with the vote in her home county second. That said, I will support #Talarico as the candidate, but I do it with the full recognition of the racism at play.
Some other interesting news, Sen #Cornyn will have to face a runoff with Ken #Paxton. Both of them are horrible humans, but I hope Paxton wins because he’ll be easier to beat in the general. Cornyn is a powerhouse with a lot of industry support, because he’s never met a lobbyist he wouldn’t suck off.
Al Green is in danger of losing his seat, it’s gone to a runoff. His opponent is a pretty awesome young dude, and #Green is 80, so... young electorate could go either way.
Dan #Crenshaw lost his seat. This pleases me. #Dems did pretty well, all #gerrymandering considered.
MAGA loves a villain

@TechBean I wish I knew. OTOH, two good things:
1. Paxton and Cornyn will light so much money on fire between now and the runoff, it will be epic to watch
2. If Paxton wins, there's a very good chance Talarico can smoke him in the general election, and Jasmine Crockett (if she comes from behind and wins against Talarico) has a decent chance against Paxton too.
#Texas #Primaries too close to call
Heads up:
With certainty over the coming months you will hear from "leftist" accounts
With all the easy signifiers, flags and symbols
Speaking with great high holy outrage
About some vile betrayal the winner, #Talarico or #Crockett, made against the left
It's a #toxicIdealism #psyop
They are right wingers cosplaying right here on #Mastodon
Do not fall for it
Show up in the general #election in November

In today's Texas Senate primary election, Republicans are measuring the potency of Trump’s Make America Great Again movement against old-guard conservatism. Democrats, meanwhile, face a choice between two progressive “powerhouses” with different theories of how to fight – and how to win – in the Trump era.
The fiercely competitive races have left Democrats unusually hopeful about their chances in a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat statewide since 1994, while Republicans fret they could lose a seat once viewed as safely red.
Early voting has soared, particularly on the Democratic side, while political ad spending has surpassed $122m, according to data from AdImpact, making it the most expensive Senate primary on record.
The vast majority of the money is being spent to help four-term incumbent John #Cornyn fend off a challenge from Ken #Paxton, the state’s scandal-plagued attorney general and a conservative culture warrior.
Cornyn, 74, has emphasized his seniority and record, which he has defended as closely aligned with the president. By contrast, Paxton, 64, has presented himself as Maga’s vanguard in Texas, willing to battle both Democrats and Republicans.
On the Democratic side, state representative James #Talarico has crisscrossed the deep-red counties that voted for Trump, preaching a “politics of love” that roots progressive policy in the teachings of his Christian faith. The 36-year-old former middle school teacher and current seminary student argues that the central divide in American politics is “not left v right” but “top v bottom” and says Democrats can rebuild trust in rural and suburban communities without abandoning their core values.
He faces Congresswoman Jasmine #Crockett, a firebrand progressive whose unsparing attacks on Trump and Republicans have earned her a starring role in the resistance movement to his second term. Crockett, 44, entered the race in December, just before the filing deadline, embracing a different political playbook. Casting herself as a “proven fighter” who “drives the president crazy”, Crockett contends that high turnout among young voters and voters of color – not ideological moderation – is the key to winning statewide.
The Democratic contest underlines a central debate that has animated the party since Trump’ s 2016 victory: whether they win by “doubling down” on their base and its fury with Trump’s presidency, or by courting independents and swing voters disenchanted with partisanship and the political status quo.
Tuesday’s election will hardly be the final word, but as polls open in the nation’s second-largest state, Democrats will be monitoring the political currents closely, as they target Republican-held seats in other states, from Alaska to Maine.
