I like James #Talarico and I’m glad that he’s sounding the alarm about #Paxton. That said, I can support him and still lament that he is the one in the position to be sounding alarms right now and not Jasmine #Crockett.

The #DemocraticParty has a sexism and racism problem that it’s done nothing to address. Talarico is fine, just not when compared to Crockett who has more experience, more concrete ideas, better education, is better spoken, is a better debater, the list goes on.

He won back in March because he was seen as “more electable” than Crockett. Which part exactly? I mean let’s not beat around the bush here, say it out loud. People knew that the party was so sexist and racist that it let a fascism fanboy win the presidency instead of electing a Brown Woman. So instead of admitting the existence of those biases and working to address them, the only takeaway seems to have been “Don’t risk it, put the white guy at the head of the table.”

I’m so frustrated. We might win #Texas and that’s important but so is us fixing our own issues and right now we’re still ignoring them.
