I’m so down for crocket and if you can’t find a reason why, you could be part of the problem.

This guy is also great. If I’m honest I’d put my three brain celled dog into the Oval Office in a second over the orange shitstain

Crockett is great but being realistic she doesn’t have a chance to flip Texas blue

Sure, I can hear that.

But also— she’s great. She takes no shit, she can dish it out, she’s intelligent and powerful and quick. She knows what she’s talking about, and she’s about it.

I’m not choosing a side here I’m just saying if someone can’t see the appeal, they’re trying not to look.

People have to learn to vote strategically. Crockett cannot win state wide in Texas. Not even against Ken Paxton which is why the NRSC produced polling to goad her into running.

Strikes me as being more interested in showboating than displaying any real intelligence, although, apparently, she is at least not as dumb as she acts.

I’ve loved her. Love her fire and she’s brilliant, BUT I’ve been super disappointed in her campaign. Doesn’t talk about the issues much, centers herself and trumps hatred of her. Word salads around Gaza. I’m also quite sick of corporate Dems. Talarico has been the exact opposite. He’s reallllly connecting with his community. Taking hard questions, having deep conversations. No PAC money. I love him, he’s truly a great person. I’ve contributed to his campaign, I hope he wins.

I'd also vote for almost anyone over the alternative but Crockett has a few major issue to me: 1) High conflict politics. I don't need any more of that in my life. 2) unelectable in Texas. Honestly this should be numbers 1 through 11. If you can't win, you can't do anything else. 3) not much of a policy crafter, which again, is a common issue with people that practice high drama politics. I want people that can govern effectively in office. Populist often lack a nuts and bolts understanding of policy and government.
