Talarico’s voting rights agenda shouldn’t be controversial. 📌 Expand access to the ballot box 📌 Protect voting rights 📌 End partisan gerrymandering Politicians drawing themselves safe districts and then making it harder for people to vote isn’t democracy.

Yep. Somehow expanding and expecting the right as well as the access to vote doesn’t sound much like Communism to me. But I’m not as smart as Donald Trump thinks he is.

Because now everything is about wording and persuasion, how can these goals be worded so that they make everyone applaud? For example : Expand access to the ballot box for eligible voters. Protect voting rights for people who are registered to vote.

life of an absentee ballot-first you must be really disabled or over 65 but that’s really discouraged, if mailed your ID on the envelop must match what was used when registering, if dropping off, only one 8a-7p dropbox per county, may only drop off your ballot & must present photo ID to drop it

Intentionally diluting voting power from POC is politicians protecting their own asses. Voters should choose their politicians. Not the other way around.

I'm still at a loss to understand what MAGA white Texans get in exchange for tolerating the sleeze and political dirty dealing of the Texas Republicans. More data centers? Less water? Higher energy bills? Christian Nationalism in schools? What are they voting for?

they’ve been convinced immigrants are stealing their jobs & dems are throwing their hard earned income via taxes at minorities & don’t give a damn abt them, have encountered dumb repubs who think if repubs had total control they’d never pay another tax-that’s why they don’t think tariffs are taxes

They get someone to reassure them that their hatred, racism, misogyny, and bigotry is both godly and patriotic. As long as that remains true they will never change.

It’s more important to them to have a state where any liberal potsmoker is jailed and forever stripped of voting rights while the same arresting officers high five every potsmoking conservative at Joe Rogan’s compound. That level of hypocrisy in govt only happens with Paxton.

LBJ said it best: “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” MAGA Texans want to think they are better than everyone else. Sad but true

What are they voting for? They vote for the preservation of patriarchal white supremacy. Without it, they fear they will be treated the way they have treated women and PoC in the past. (Which proves that they know how evil that was.) Christian nationalism in schools falls under the same umbrella.

He is building bridges. He is trying to build a coalition. He needs Representative Crockett at his side. He needs to build that bridge, make amends and work together for Texas, the country, and against Trump. They can't do it alone. How can we stop a unified GOP if are are split?

It shouldn't be a political event to just declare we should help each other and support each other like humans. Its just insane how hate filled the GOP is

Me an absolutely needs to win. He will be what is awesome for the state of Texas and finally maybe have some intelligence and get something done for them like the grid!

What I don’t understand is, no one ever ask these pedo protectors, when they say how the “Democrats are bringing in illegals and allowing them to vote.” Have them explain that scenario - how would that work exactly?🤔

This amounts to a poll tax. I sometimes wonder if JD Vance would have to provide the many documents tracing his various name changes back to his birth certificate in order to register his citizenship and establish voting rights.

It made me mad when Jasmine Crockett lost to him. I hate to see women, particularly women of color, taking a back seat to men. But the sad truth is we live in a society dominated by white men, and people are more likely to listen to a religious white male.

It isn't controversial in any way, only is seen that way because corp media spins it that way. IMHO it's of great importance always to remember this.

You might want to check your post. James Talarico is not married to someone named Rachel and does not have 2 children. He does have a girlfriend, but is not married. He graduated from UT-Austin with a degree in Government—not Baylor.

This is another one of those weird "campaign posters" popping up all of a sudden that gets basic facts wrong & doesn't even know what the candidate looks like! I assume they are created by a.i. #StopTheSlop Everyone please keep an eye out for these & do NOT rec/share them without reading them.

We desperately need to ban gerrymandering nationwide We are voting, but we are gerrymandered In many places you’re risking your life & your family’s jobs by voting Democrat Just look up Jasper, for example

MAGAfolk know that an uneven playing field is the only reason most of them have what little they have. They fear they would lose if they had to compete fairly with others, so they will fight tooth and nail to hold on to their unearned privilege as long as they possibly can.

Never underestimate the fuckery Texas Republicans are capable of. They have already started doing shit like remapping voting locations that were used by minority voters during the primaries. You can bet they will try to contest the every outcome that doesn’t go their way.

Dear constitutionalists and freedom-loving Americans: We will soon be partisans against the 'rule by decree' Project 2025 consortium's takeover & dismantling of our liberal democratic republic. Never fear. These tyrannical regimes collapse as soon as the heads are gone. We will have outside help.

Talarico is impressive and really cares about other people, and the country. He respects those who have different beliefs. He really understands what America is about.
