And rightly so. Let’s see if and when they backtrack.

Well, that's their opinion. They're entitled to it. How about telling your audience why Texans should vote for Talarico over Crockett?

From the article:

First of all - they're right. Crockett is unlikely to win in Texas. No matter how anyone feels about her, it would be a waste of resources. We see this play out again and again where the longest of shots get promoted and people sink money into these losing campaigns based on social media popularity - and social media is very good about talking itself into these losing battles for some reason. We should stop doing that. It's not electorally effective.

Second, trying to go after two of the most popular cultural figures at the moment (and gay ones at that) for not bending the knee properly.

I don't think so, honey.

Seems every time a Democrat even begins to stir a following somebody tried to take the wind out of their sales. Some did that to Mamdani as I recall.

Here's a novel idea. How bout letting voters decide for THEMSELVES.

I like both Crockett and Gavin Newsom. (Voting for Talarico in the primary, but will gladly donate to Jasmine if she's the candidate after March.) As far as 2028 goes, I see Gavin standing up. I see a short list of people doing that: AOC, Bernie (who likely won't run), Crockett, Elizabeth Warren. Everyone who I see taking decisive action has some reason or another why they are unelectable according to the new thinking. Too Californian. Too female. Not white. Oops, they're Jewish. Smartest candidate we've got. Too bad he's gay.

One of these candidates is going to be our 2028 candidate. The voters are going to decide. I am not prepared to let the republicans choose both my candidate and theirs, so I am not willing to settle for a white male christian straight middle of the country choice because honestly? None of those choices impress me at this point. I think our voters will come out for a candidate who leads. They did for Obama. That candidate might be female. They might be a POC. They might be gay. They might be Californian. We don't know yet. It's still early days. We need to see who is going to step up and lead in this terrible moment.

What annoys me is democrats taking down our own best people. We are at a terrible place in history. Why aren't Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers using that energy to go after republicans? Why are they trying to tear down our candidates? Unnecessary. I don't want to hear from them who they think has no chance, who they think should be anointed. Let the voters decide. If they want to use their platform to tear people down, try going after the other side.

Never heard of the other guy.

I don't even know who they are, lol.
