After spending, way too long at college because of, ehh, other indulgences, if there was one take away from all the Civics & PolySci lectures it is this: <<<vote for less harm>>> Not voting or a protest vote for an unwinnable candidate is voting for the opposition, then you'll get Paxton.

JK it was a great interview withJames Talarico. This young man represent the Real America we the people want to live in. Time has come to strip off the ugly hatred and move the Country forward in a positive direction. 🇺🇸💙

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. This is exactly the kind of brilliant voting strategy that got us where we are today. Real constructive solution. I’m sure a Paxton win will be really beneficial to the trans people you seem to be so concerned about.

It is strange to the world how quickly the US capitulated to trump . Congress, courts, ICE, CEO S of major companies, MEDIA all kissing the ring asap. Google and apple in less than 12 hours.. US land of the free .. hell no

Thank God for Jimmie Kimmel. He has stood up to the Orange Moron and his Malignant Minions more strongly than anyone else has. Isn’t it cool that two of the most clear-thinking and articulate critics of NeoFascism are comedians.

Talarico should have told Fox: “trans people arent the problem. Stop pretending they’re the problem. Your Boss and his oligarch pals are the problem.” Instead, he fell for their trap. Fatal mistake. This will define him now.

Never since Jimmy Carter has there ever been a more Moral and Sincere Candidate for Higher Office Than James Talarico and this is what the Political Establishment ( on both Sides ) fears the most.. Honesty, Integrity and a Moral commitment to the Voters Stand your ground Texas and elect James. ✊✊✊

Allison, but I have to follow the edicts of der Führious. I did not watch the video. I certainly didn't like the video on YouTube. And I definitely didn't repost the video on my socials. To do so would make dear leader red with rage, which would mix with his bronzer turning him Vermillion

Critique of Paxton’s 15 homes: a landlording project, or temporarily living in all of them? Landlords expect income from housing, not any more outgo than they can avoid. Not necessarily “rich” beyond a high salary’s means. Context? Not defending the gov, but this is too little info—made into slur.

Pls let’s not cannibalize this guy and once again with our impossible standards, watch our country burn down to the ground while we argue if this guy is absolutely, unequivocally perfect. I’ve seen this play before and it doesn’t end well for us. It’s a big umbrella! Compromise.

@bethtoja.bsky.social

What are you talking about? I have never seen Democrats say that any of their politicians are perfect, or worship them in any way, which is what you’re implying. We are excited that someone as progressive as Talarico is doing so well. Why aren’t you?

Cathy
@catlindsey.bsky.social

You don’t remember Hillary Clinton? Joe Biden? Kamala Harris? I definitely 💯 admire Talarico but our expectations can undermine our success at times. Democrats don’t walk in lockstep and have a diverse party which is good but infighting and division has not served us well. That’s all.

Why do you find respecting the rights of your trans neighbors, his constituents, to be an impossible standard? Ed Markey doesn't seem to find it hard to meet.

Ed Markey@edmarkey.bsky.social

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

Cathy
@catlindsey.bsky.social

You’re missing my point, Talarico at least has ethics and I sincerely believe he will respects all person’s rights if and when he gets in office. At this stage, what do you recommend? He’s running in Texas! Discretion is the better part of valor.

They have the rights to play any sport they wish recreationally. It’s not a right to be able to play hs or collegiate sports. Trans athletes can compete in the leagues that coincide with their born gender just like everyone else HAS to. It’s not anti trans to say that.

tamaracktd.bsky.social
@tamaracktd.bsky.social

For example you wouldn’t allow a fully normative athlete to compete in the special Olympics or Paralympics. It’s wouldn’t be fair. It’s not really fair for woman who were born anatomically male to compete against women. At what point do you decide who is and isn’t eligible ?

I still find it distressing that in 2026, a huge number of people’s lives are dictated by a belief in the supernatural. Many religious types are perfectly nice humans, but we will never fix our world while otherwise intellectual people believe 1800 year old myths should be treated as fact.

He sems like a decent person, but the religious aspect does bother me because you can use it to cover your actions. But then again, everyone finds ways to cover their actions. We need intelligent conversations on issues, especially the complex ones. The authoritarian GOP is the enemy of discussion.

Patrona1🩶🖤🏀
@patrona1.bsky.social

Normally it would bother me to, but he is calling out the hypocrisy of the religious Maga cult with their own "word of god" and smashing it in their face. If they have a shred of decency or conscience it should sting and make them squirm to be called out on their hypocrisy.

Are you unaware he said he'd be in favor of banning sex-affirming surgeries for transgender kids? Hilarious considering those are vanishingly rare & the most common gender-affirming surgeries for kids are by a long shot breast reductions for cis boys with gyeconomastia. Surgeries on trans kids /1

I wish I wouldn’t have started reading this thread. People of the USA, what on earth is wrong with you? Something in the water? No, seriously. The magnitude of the effect of your choices in November is out of scale for the rest of us earthlings. I’ll leave it at that.

@gangsternana.bsky.social

Yes! Everyone confirm your voter registration and polling place. Organize car pools. Hire a bus to take your neighbors if your normal polling place has been closed. This is war for our democracy. I wonder if they even realize that they’re also affecting Republican voters especially older ones.

@thefoodandwinediva.bsky.social

This is a must-watch episode of Jimmy Kimmel’s show. It would be refreshing, democratic, helpful, and inspiring to finally have a qualified pro democracy person represent Texas in the US Senate. For decades, rich, evil, destructive anti-democratic white men have been Texas’ worst export to DC.

@skwalker.bsky.social

Just a “fantastic interview” with Jimmy Kimmel and James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Texas. It’s easy to see why Donald Trump and the FCC Chair Brendan Carr along with Ken Paxton didn’t want it aired on TV! I guess the TRUTH is a bit “scary” when you are a LIAR…

@rtweddle.bsky.social

Jimmy needs to interview Abdul El- Sayed next. Why not interview all democratic senate candidates between now & the election. Just pour it on. Of course don’t forget to invite the republican candidates to come on the show in the name of fairness !!!

@craigah69.bsky.social

You all know how your voting, so be healthy and physically able to go do it. A portion of the madness can end in November/December after all the recounts. Just vote Democrat, no matter what!

Jenny Marck (she/her)
@jennydetro.bsky.social

yes, vote for talarico as opposed to paxton because fascists suck. BUT ALSO, trans rights are human rights, so stop blaming people for being upset with talarico 🏳️‍⚧️ we must protect the rights of everyone!
