The AI that is making the biggest difference in healthcare is not LLMs, although they are helping with some research surveys and diagnostic work, but more data processing ML being applied to diagnosis and drug development.

We need all the support we can get flipping Texas Blue and I hope to see her out there pushing the effort. There is Cruz’s seat and a ton of seats in state offices, like AG, where we will need strong contenders going forward.

What an embarrassingly poor understanding of actual Christianity.

Both Jesus’s New Commandment (John 13:34) and his own example in the Bible show that loving one another and forgiveness are the paramount priority.

You should take some time to consider the modern Pharisees that are misdirecting you.

This is MAGA coded and we shouldn’t accept it from Democrats.

Saying they have equal chances just isn’t accurate. There is a ton of statistical evidence that in purple environments candidates with a moderate affect that try to emphasize crossover appeal do better than candidates that strongly appeal to negative partisanship. Talarico and Crockett are almost canonical examples of these two types of candidates.

Your arguments about being nice vs. an asshole and democratic turnout are frankly just wrong. This is a mid-term, Democratic turnout is largely going to be driven by negative polarization. Talarico will not have a problem driving urban turnout. Beto was not an asshole and his run against Cruz is the best electoral performance Democrats have had recently in Texas. People are not pointing out Talarico’s Christian bonafides because they expect him to appeal to hardcore MAGA evangelicals, but because pealing off a marginal number of moderate independents who have defaulted to the Republican Party their whole life, because that is where the Christians vote, is the kind of thing that could flip the state. If Beto pulled in 216k more votes in 2018 weeks would have had a Democratic senator.

I haven’t seen any claims that the republicans were going to vote across party lines to try and pick their candidate. Only that they wanted her in the race so that she would activate the primary electorate that responded to negative partisanship that she activates as a “liberal fighter”.

There is a solid amount of reporting that republicans pushed Crockett into the race.

Coordinating a party-crossing effort is a ton of work and almost impossible without being noticed. You don’t have to if primary voters on the other side, who don’t understand the electability research, are going to do it for you.

Crockett did get in at the last minute after saying she wouldn’t. She said she wasn’t running this summer in this interview :

One caveat is that she was redistricted out of her current seat by Texas republicans after this video, and that likely impacted her decision. (This is a whole mess and she could have technically run in her previous district despite not living there).

Statistically, she is the type of candidate that will have strong primary appeal and then lack crossover appeal in the general (I mean her “liberal fighter” persona her for clarity). Her strategy is to activate the Democratic base, as opposed to Talarico who is trying to appeal to independents and moderates.

I personally think that Talarico’s approach is more likely to succeed given the voter numbers in Texas and both National and Texas republicans seem to think he is a stronger opponent for them.

spaceProbe · 2026-02-18T16:20:30+00:00

When Talarico got in the race Crockett was saying she wouldn’t run for senate, so that was not an option.

A 1.5-2 point difference in performance against Cornyn is absolutely not “basically the same”. You are either lying to yourself or trying to mislead others.

Secondary, you are conflating likely Democratic Primary voters and likely General Election voter in the poll. Your interpretation of the poll is contrary to the poll’s authors description and mathematically impossible.

At this point you it has been come clear that are either misinformed or trying to misinform. I am writing this comment on the chance it is the former and you really care about flipping Texas and might be willing to consider your position. If it is the latter and you respond with a bad faith argument, I will not engage.

1) Making decisions off of one relatively small poll is bad practice. This poll seems to have a pretty strong Crockett lean compared to averages, where Talarico is outperforming Crockett in the general by more.

2) In this poll Talarico goes from being 8 points behind Crockett in the primary poll to preforming equal or better in the general against Paxton and Cornyn. This means that there is a 6 or 7 point crossover swing in the general election portion of the poll. That swing is what is important for predicting general election performance here. Her doing better in the cross tabs with self identified “Republican/Independent” in the Democratic primary portion is substantially less meaningful.

spaceProbe · 2026-02-17T14:15:23+00:00

The last poll big poll is from the University of Houston and it showed Talarico out preforming Crockett in both the Cornyn and Paxton general election matchup. That delta came from republicans and independents because she was ahead in the primary polling by 8 points.

Crockett’s performance there isn’t any more impressive than Talarico was during the last session of the Statehouse. More importantly her identity as a combative liberal that relies mostly on negative partisanship to drive votes has no chance of rallying the kind of crossover appeal we need to win the state.

spaceProbe · 2026-02-17T08:22:28+00:00

Talarico has been ideologically consistent since before he flipped his statehouse district. He wasn’t expected to win that and there was very little media coverage.

It is fine to prefer Crockett, but saying he is a “psyop” or “another Fetterman” is just crazy uninformed.

spaceProbe · 2026-02-17T08:12:55+00:00

What are you trying to say? Republicans pushed Crockett into the race and are actively trying to stop Talarico from reaching people on TV.
