Jeff Tiedrich - James Talarico is a boss

Republicans are power-loading an endless series of diapers right now, because Texas Democratic candidate James Talarico has a pretty decent chance of defeating his MAGAfied opponent, the twentyfour-seven crime factory Ken Paxton — and I am so fucking here for it.

the Donnyverse has no clue how to run against a candidate who is young, energetic, articulate, honest, and full of ideas — and so they’re trotting out the same old tired bag of dumbfuckery they always lazily fall back on.

really, hotshot? that’s what you’re going with? that Jimmy Tal isn’t sportsbally enough to be a senator from Texas? who in the hallowed name of Toxic Masculinity Jesus even thinks like this?

this is what it looks like when an entire political party has no ideas, no clue how to solve the problems it created, and nothing to run on. they’re reduced to making weird-ass arguments that have no bearing on the actual, important issues of the day.

That attribute alone (that he can’t name any wide receivers from glory days past) makes me more eager to support his candidacy - NOT YOU!!!

I don’t see any guy’s passion for football as anything other than detrimental to his overall profile. What I look for is gentleness, and deep, honest care about the vulnerable among us. THAT’S what makes a man a REAL man.

I can go a whole lifetime (and so far, I have!) without a moment’s concern or devotion for those who live only to run after somebody and try to knock them down (or otherwise brutalize them) to take some stupid “ball” away from ‘em to “score points”.
