He threw trans and intersex people under the bus and lost himself the election. Good to see your solidarity.

Because Republicans would clip 3 or 4 statements out of context to weaponize. The reality is Dems can't talk in detail about this subject in the present political climate. Take the support they offer in whatever form best serves their campaigns as a small step forward. Winning is what matters now.

Are you referring to intersex classifications?

I didn't know that before now!

The problem is that if he tries to explain the chromosomal differences the corporate-fascist media would go nuts and PAXTON WOULD WIN. That's what matters right now. WIN first, explain details later! Do you really think most voters (TX or otherwise) would listen to/understand the science?

then why did he historically whiff the other, easier gotcha question? (suggested answer: “there are fewer trans women in girls’ sports than Trump’s convicted felonies. Why are we worried about this on a national level? Next question.”)

With class and the truth! Shalom

No. It’s not. Talarico is a far right goon who’s showing his real colors. Why hasn’t any body looked at his voting record where he votes with republicans regularly and on the most heinous shit?

Even if he wanted “snarky spin” like the first question, Texas is ranked 44th in child wellbeing due to lack of healthcare and poverty! It’s not hard to go “AMAB puberty in sport isn’t a pressing disadvantage Texas girls/athletes are facing, I care about xyz problems that disadvantage all our kids”

I 'm not calling Talarico names/insults. I'm saying that from my perspective of my community, that was a bad, insensitve, inauthentic answer. Do this instead. Don't accept the false premise they give you. Discuss the invasiveness of a ban and the actual threats to children. I'm still rooting for him

I do not play purity games, thus I said I still want him to win, and he is way better than the other. But I also do not circle the wagons. If Mr. Talarico is as talented as everyone says he is, then he can handle some mild criticism on how to show more empathy while navigating culture war questions

That was not the question. You need to open your mind up to reality. You are a minority and do not represent all voters. Do better.

He does a nice job of making sure that it goes back to the subject of the economy instead of the BS that Republicans used to distract from real issues.

Hes a coward, throwing vulnerable people to the wolves for "votes" he'll never get.

I listened to his exact words. He denied intersex people exist, lableing them as "genetic abnormalities" and insinuated trans girls might be dangerous. How? Are cis girls over 6' and 200 lbs dangerous? He didn't win any voters alf list a bunch. He cannot compromise on rights.

😲😣

So he’s used to dealing with over hormonal children.

And what fascist shit would that be?

Harvard men.

It's his super power. And political kryptonite to txmags. It's really hitting some of them with a sort of-'this is what I used to believe- just being decent' kind of reality. That values never "belonged" to the gop.

You're a very mean & nasty person for pointing that out. 😀

Whoa! 👌

They are trying so hard to avoid the price of eggs crap they harped on in 2024 & focus on culture wars. We're supposed to ignore inflation, a president so vain & petty he threatens to close down facilities that don't bear his name, needless wars & billion dollar bunkers. Illegal redistricting.
