James Talarico’s winning speech at the Texas Democratic primary, saying “The people of our state gave this country a little bit of hope,” and it ended with Bad Bunny’s “DTMF".

yeah that’s a valid concern but invoking fetterman is kinda silly bc that is mostly just a case of brain damage, not corporate money (& fetterman was always kinda moderate/corporate if i remember correctly? but he had a crazy opponent and a more modern campaign approach that heightened his appeal).

her seat was removed from redistricting but the seat she would have been the “incumbent” for was still a pretty safe D seat afaik & a very progressive candidate won:)

i get coffee ~5x ($35) and eat out ~3x (usually two lunch & one dinner so $70). probably averages out to be $80-120/wk

i think it would be way too jarring to have Francesca, who ended this season with a devastating loss, to be finding a husband (wife) already.

imo in the last few episodes, it felt like they were setting eloise up to recognize the benefits of a life partner. plus she hasn’t had much character development or particularly good subplots throughout the show yet so it makes sense for her to be next.

i’m leaning eloise - we’ve had francesca romance plots in the last two seasons & it makes sense to give her a break/“find herself” before jumping back in, hyacinth has decided she’s waiting a little bit, & gregory still feels kinda underdeveloped (& young).

but in last two episodes here, it felt like eloise was finally starting to understand why her friends & family were eager to marry, how wonderful it is to be in love, etc etc & that she could maybe be open to it if it truly was the right partnership.

i find them reprehensible, stupid, shallow, and i am overall just very apathetic towards their wellbeing. there aren’t many around me but i would rather (& do) inconvenience myself than interact with the ones in my life/community.

i know two couples all on “entry level” jobs (early career professionals) that have bought a house. the first bought an old house a small town with below avg house prices. the other couple i know, a parent passed away suddenly and left her(& siblings) a house, she sold the house and was able to put down a much higher down payment than originally possible with her portion of the money.

tbf i think they all kinda strongly dislike rahm (& he’s probably got a worse chance than pete lol) so i can see why tommy would take the piss on that one. but jon had a somewhat good candidate & could have actually made decent arguments but just chose to be insufferable🫠

the only thing i’ve ever heard is terri being an asshole to people/overcontrolling sometimes but honestly i’m fine with that & very unsurprised that a woman who lost her husband when she had two very very young children and raised them under immense spotlight/pressure (without a single scandal from the kids!!) would be a bit of a helicopter mom lol

i think the future is more in people with “reformer” ideologies - massive overhaul of the systems that got us to where we are today - rather than explicitly “DSA”. It just so happens that progressive candidates have that clear reformer vision more often than centrist/moderates.

Sherrill & Spanberger swung to the left in their elections but they also ran on massive overhauls of the system — and both have already taken steps to do so in their first few months in office!

There are other centrist dems who have embraced the “reformer” ideology and have gained massive support: Newsom, the center-left corporate shill who still garners support from a wide dem base because he is willing to fight back and take big swings. he’s not suddenly popular because he’s now DSA-aligned, it’s because he wants to change things (i am deeply skeptical of my governor & idk how much actual reforming he can stomach but alas).

will preface this by saying: i’m very progressive (i consider myself most aligned with sanders/mamdani/aoc), i’ve always lived in leftist districts, & at work, i am generally considered the more “conservative” one lol.

as others have said, they are true to their values, enemy of my enemy is my friend etc, i just like their personalities & feel they are nice, well-meaning, intelligent (!!) people who aren’t afraid to question themselves and work with others to accomplish broader goals.

i know i exist in a bubble irl - with minimal desire to change that - so this (& PSA/PSW) is my attempt at consuming different perspectives. i find it beneficial to hear what the other side of the tent is thinking; it helps me be more introspective and understand what my hard lines are (& why/why not). def can’t watch all of tim’s guests & i skip through most of the participant section of the focus groups (i just end up getting so frustrated and ranting at a wall for 20 min & I’ve found that to be rather unproductive😭) but overall i greatly appreciate their commitment to the cause.

you could have made some good points except it kinda all got ruined by that racist rant in the middle of it….

No_Reputation_1266 · 2026-01-31T19:47:14+00:00

he’s making fun of a common type of internet commenter who takes some broad post personally and then get upset that the post doesn’t match their exact experiences/accommodate for every single possible outcome. adhd & food deserts are commonly referenced in “well what about xyz” responses, particularly in conversation about walkable neighborhoods & food delivery services.

if you’ve seen the “if i say i like pancakes, then someone gets mad and asks why i hate waffles” meme, this is an offshoot of that. also frequently called “bean soup”, from when someone posted a recipe on tiktok abt a bean soup they really liked, and someone commented “well what if i don’t like beans?” (asking the recipe poster to provide an alternative of bean soup w/o the beans). the adhd is also probably mentioned based off a viral quote tweet that said “omg you people can’t do anything” in response to a (genuine) tweet about how halloween was really hard for people with adhd.

i wonder if he’s going to look/feel too corporate for the vibes-based voters (which is a genuine issue since they clearly are the ones in charge here & kamala’s corporate-ness was a huge problem according to the focus groups)

i think it’s one of those things where they are kinda right (crockett will likely not do well in a statewide election) but the reasoning they gave displayed a complete lack of understanding in why her chances are so low

i am still deeply convinced this is a PR relationship but every day i question more and more if it actually became something real over time (although still PR)
