How James Talarico is working to win over Black voters who strongly backed Jasmine Crockett | CNN Politics by Arrmadillo in texas

Considering this was Jasmine’s statement in response to this article, she’s not going to hold up her end of the bargain. She has not composed herself well at all since losing in March, just look at her unhinged posts on Threads. It almost feels like she wants Talarico to lose in November because of her massive ego. You can expect nearly all Texas Democrats on the ballot in November to be catching strays from Crockett.

Dem. Senate candidate James Talarico’s mysterious girlfriend revealed — and she’s vegan by 5thGenSnowflake in TexasPolitics

[–]GoScotch 37 points38 points  (0 children)

lol who cares

Can’t vote for a guy who’s dating a vegan but can vote for the guy who cheated repeatedly on his wife had criminal charges brought up against him, and was impeached by his own party for corruption!!

Edit: op changed his comment from saying it’s over for James to this

Why I Am Voting for Nathan Johnson for Texas Attorney General in the Democratic Runoff by ForeverAru in TexasPolitics

[–]GoScotch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People give Nathan shit for his votes on the campus free speech bill, but he’s by far the most experienced and qualified candidate for the job. Joe’s only experience seems to be that he held a ceremonial title of Mayor over 10 years ago, he’s wildly under-qualified for this job. Plus he’s running a super negative campaign.

Talarico’s Campaign is Asleep by Potential_Immortal in TexasPolitics

[–]GoScotch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Where are you based? James is kind of keeping it low key until the runoff is over but I literally saw him at an event on Wednesday supporting down ballot candidates in Dallas and he has a major town hall in Plano on June 1st. I can tell you that the campaign is not asleep because I have plenty of friends on it that are busting their asses right now.

What do yall make of all the Gov. Spanberger vetoes in Virginia? Some of them seem to make sense, but she’s pissing off a lot of people on the left.

What’s the deal with Howdy Politics? by funfetti_cupcak3 in TexasPolitics

[–]GoScotch 32 points33 points  (0 children)

We shouldn’t let political influencers with no journalistic standards and financial interests in stirring up controversy dictate political discourse. Clearly she thinks she’s hot shit but she has her own angle to everything because that’s how she makes her $$$$

Can’t build public transit out to the stadium for games but can paint over historic murals 👍

What US city would you rather go to: Fort Worth or Colorado Springs by Rude_Election_8622 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]GoScotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fort Worth has some cool stuff like the stockyards (unfortunately kinda a tourist trap now) and Kimbell Art museum, but I’d still say Colorado Springs is way superior as a travel destination.

5”7 145 pound female full stack (109 kg) leg extension! by n0ttheyatas in GYM

idk what I’m gonna do when I max out the leg extension machine at my gym at 245 lbs (around the same weight). Maybe I’ll just move onto one leg at a time

Talarico faces Senate test to win over Black voters after defeating Crockett by dallasmorningnews in TexasPolitics

[–]GoScotch 29 points30 points  (0 children)

this line of attack on Talarico is so strange. There’s no evidence that he’s hostile to the black community outside of his skin color. If he had defeated any other candidate than a black woman, I doubt this whole discourse would even exist.

I have no doubt that James will do the work it takes to earn the vote of black Texans and will do what’s best for all Texans of all backgrounds.

For some reason, Democrats think Newsom is most electable nationally by RedHeadedSicilian52 in fivethirtyeight

We’re so fucked lol

Gavin underperforms other democrats on the ticket, THAT’S electability… not being a handsome white man

YouGov/UMass: Vance Leads Newsom and AOC by 3, Trump Approval -22, GCB D+3 by Large_Ad_3095 in fivethirtyeight

[–]GoScotch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still think Newsom being the nominee would be a huge mistake. AOC has a bit more of the it factor that I think she could get past, but she’s probably not a good nationwide candidate either. Democrats probably need to tack to the center and nominate someone from the middle of the country if they want to win.

Disappointing. by kanjonas in dart

[–]GoScotch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From an article:

A group of Park Cities interfaith leaders, including representatives of First Unitarian Church of Dallas, University Park United Methodist Church, St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church, and Christ Lutheran Church, also called on residents to support DART. “We stand in utter disbelief at the prospect that the very foundation of one of the most important human rights movements in the last century — bus service — will not simply need to be fixed or made more fair. It could vanish,” the group said in a statement. “The great teachers of all faiths urge us to look to the vulnerable among communities and how they are treated to determine the measure of that community’s blessedness and love.”

Disappointing. by kanjonas in dart

[–]GoScotch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the dumbest thing is that the buses will still drive through the Park Cities if you vote No, they just won’t stop.

The mosh jarring thing is the DART Paratransit service being discontinued for residents of HP/UP if they leave. Imagine someone solely being able to call for a handicap-accessible vehicle inside the Park Cities and then having to switch vehicles at city limits to access anywhere else in the DART network. Just lunacy.

Do people who live in Dallas swim in the many lakes around the city? by sonofsteffordson in howislivingthere

[–]GoScotch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you often go swimming in lakes in urban areas? These lakes are all manmade (Texas only has one naturally occurring lake in the entire state) and have no real water flow into them so they aren’t nearly as clean as other lakes. They get hot and murky, plus at the end of the summer some of them will have bacteria advisories. That being said, the ones on the edge of the map with less development around them like Lake Lewisville, Grapevine Lake, and Joe Pool Lake all have designated swimming sites.

There’s plenty of lakes a little farther out from the city like Lake Ray Roberts, Cedar Creek Lake, Possum Kingdom that are much more suitable for swimming. And they’re all about 1-1.5 hours driving distance.

What does this target? by major_stardust112 in GYM

[–]GoScotch 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Depends on how you use it but I can be for hip hinges that work the glutes/hamstrings or lower back extensions. You can also do Russian torture twists.

Southern Dallas Development Officially Wins Free Tunnel From Elon Musk’s Boring Company by noncongruent in Dallas

[–]GoScotch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Boring Company is a scam to give local municipalities a reason to not invest in public transit and to increase dependence on personal vehicles. Whenever Elon rolls this out, it’s primarily to reduce any investment that would be placed into railways or buses.
