I haven’t seen such a young charismatic candidate for Dems in 20 years.
In 2006 an unknown young state senator from Illinois named Barack Obama ran for the U.S. Senate and leveraged it into the Presidency.
James Talarico is a young state senator from Texas who is running for the U.S. Senate. I haven’t seen such a religious candidate for the Democrats in my lifetime. He quotes scripture and has a Masters in Divinity Studies.
Talarico is drawing big crowds in Texas and is able to reach across the aisle.
Jasmine Crockett still holds her seat in the HouseLOL!
You only like him because he got that black woman, Jasmine Crockett, kicked out of Congress.
Why are the ghettos still here after spending endless trillions of dollars over many decades of the great society? The ten commandments could be a mostly secular interpretation also. Talarico is a freak.
Ted Cruz or Little Marco are CubanI hear Cuba could use some new leadership!
That is about as stupid as it gets. Did you know that the Southern Baptist Convention supported abortion in certain circumstances prior to Roe v. Wade? The Methodist church has always supported a woman's right to choose. They have consistently stated that abortion should be legal, but RARE. The Episcopal Church, Presbyterian, and Evangelical Lutherans all support abortion rights in certain circumstances.
Ted Cruz or Little Marco are Cuban
YAWN......
Get back to me when you support the FUNDING for these unwanted children.
Sounds callous, but once born, you don't support babies.
So FO.
Key Political Positions
- Opposition to Christian Nationalism: He is a vocal critic of Christian nationalism, calling it "a cancer on our religion" and "idolatrous". He strongly opposes policies like mandating the Ten Commandments in public schools.
- Healthcare: Driven by his own diagnosis with Type 1 diabetes, he successfully passed legislation capping insulin copays at $25 a month in Texas. He supports expanding Medicaid and making healthcare a human right.
- Education: As a former teacher, he advocates for increased public school funding and opposes school vouchers, which he views as defunding public education.
- Immigration: He supports a "secure border" combined with a pathway to citizenship. He often uses the metaphor that the southern border should be treated like a "front porch" with a "welcome mat" but also a "lock on the door".
- Gun Control: Following mass shootings in Texas, he has been a prominent voice for stricter gun control laws, arguing that "thoughts and prayers" without action are "cynical".
- Democracy Reform: He supports automatic voter registration, repealing voter ID laws, and imposing term limits on members of Congress.
- Foreign Policy: Talarico supports a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine, opposes offensive U.S. aid to Israel, and has called for an end to conflicts through negotiations.
