Exactly. Sometimes the Lucy and the football vibes here are crazy. Of course the eDems are going to cave. They have an absolutely unblemished record of doing so.
I think he probably wins just because lol Texas but there is an outside chance he loses. He probably wonât win the primary as incumbents incumbent in Texas hardcore.

RE: The âelection securityâ bill theyâre trying to pass. Rs have an opportunity to do the funniest thing ever. God willing they go to the mattresses for this shit.
Yet rank-and-file House Republicans and some GOP senators are pushing for a breakthrough, urging Thune to require a âtalking filibusterâ or âstanding filibusterâ that would eventually, they believe, force Democrats to relent. The change would force senators to be present and speaking on the Senate floor to block legislation, as opposed to the current practice of requiring 60 votes to end debate and move to the final passage of most bills.
The Allred allegation that took this conflict to a new level of national attention canât really be evaluated factually, because it stems from the word of a single influencer. She and Talarico have different impressions of the conversation they had, and thereâs no recording. But the preceding week of guerrilla warfare provides necessary context to assess the strange way it blew up.
Allred weighed in without being able to know whether the accusation was true or not, in a way that suggests his video is about other pent-up resentmentsâperhaps the way he has been discounted by other Texas Democrats, or perhaps the way party insiders are more commonly backing Julie Johnson, the incumbent, over Allred in the new district where heâs running for Congress.
It can be tempting to think of Republican and Democratic partisans as being mirror images of one another, but they have meaningfully different psychologies. The Republican primary generally operates on the model of a wolf pack. Candidates try to establish dominance, and then, once a hierarchy has been definitively established, the betas typically fall into line, even if five minutes earlier they were calling their opponents gay pedophile communists. A candidate might sic his followers on the wife and father of his rivalâas Trump did in 2016, inflicting deep personal anguishâand that rival (in this case, Ted Cruz) will, after some punishment, bare his neck and assume the submissive position.
Democratic primaries more often resemble the social battles of middle schoolâneedling, insinuating, and petty. Democrats often prefer to demonstrate meekness and goodness of heart rather than strength or dominance. So they accuse one another of false goodness, impurity of motives, and being wicked inside. Their attacks are anguish-inducing and personal, and their tactics leave more lasting damage than the way Republicans fight.

Senate Democrats considered a requirement banning ICE agents from polling sites as part of their demands in negotiating the Homeland Security funding bill, according to Murphy and Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.). But that policy was not included in Senate Democratic appropriatorsâ final list of demands to avoid a partial government shutdown, leaving voting rights advocates and Democratic state election officials on edge about whatâs to come.
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson called fears of voter suppression âDemocrat conspiraciesâ with âno basis in reality.â
So the odds that ICE show up to voting lines and start asking âAre you a US citizen?â has got to be approaching more likely than not
Thanks for this, I been digging a bit of a rabbit hole on this and I saw the Allred stuff come up. Between talarico and Crockett itâs not close for me. I am hard in the paint for talarico.

Yea I donât have anything against Crocket but sheâs a bomb thrower and right now I think a buttoned up and toned down religious type is going to do good, especially is heâs going against Paxton. Iâm praying Republicans pick Paxton.
ICE demanding papers from Cuban-Americans and the Republicans losing Florida would be some leopards eating faces.

What states would it affect if you harassed people from Latin American countries? Florida? Nevada?
That would be top tier. Iâd almost use my one time for that.
This is the pure distilled reason eDems are the absolute nut low.
