I think that's a huge leap. Talarico's positions are way left of the Democratic establishment, why would they be more "scared" of Crockett than him? He's got Zionist groups actively campaigning against him because he's forthright about the Gaza genocide. He's setting his campaign up against the wealthy and openly criticizing the Democratic party's subservience to wealthy donors. There just isn't that much difference between their political positions, and I don't get your angle.
Here's a recent headline:
Texas Jewish voters alarmed by James Talarico’s Israel rhetoric
Local leaders said that, without improved outreach from Talarico to address their concerns, they’re likely to vote for Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary
I agree, though after listening to both of them a bunch, I'm supporting Talarico in this election. I hope to continue to see Crockett's star rise though
I didn't say at all that that's what's insane, but the Texas government's relentless adherence to rules of procedure has made it where much of the worst legislation proposed by Republicans has been defeated or significantly delayed through points of order and delay tactics by Democrats
An element of what you say is true, but he's also a cult of personality that they're really going to struggle to replicate. Trump literally only cares about himself and has taken zero (0) steps to develop successors. Right now, JD Vance is poised to lead the movement, and he has the personality of a potato
Here in Texas, our leading candidates for Senate (James Talarico) and governor (Gina Hinojosa) are taking refreshingly reality-based positions on Gaza and seem to be developing campaigns aimed directly against billionaires. I like what I've been hearing
Nah, fuck that shit. Texas politics suck hard, but not like Florida suck. The Texas Legislature is out of their minds, but they still follow rules of procedure. Florida's government is fucking gone
Afaik mail-in ballots were not the deciding factor in the 2020 election, which Trump lost handily. He was never ahead on election night, though that wouldn't stop him from claiming it
The people in charge of these companies already have all the money
