2026 Mid-Term Elections

[Derec]

You think calling a black woman “ghetto” is not uncouyh?

If it quacks like a duck ...
I see Crocket as Democrats' version of MTG. Race is not important here. Demeanor is.

That is a response not an answer.

It is pretty clear that more left-wing posters, to which group you also belong, view Crockett positively.

Riiiiight. To paraphrase someone, if it waddles like a bigot,……

I have no view of Ms Crockett - I have no knowledge of her except what is in this thread.

It’s cute you believe I am a left winger. I am as much a left winger as you are a MAGAer.

You'll excuse me if I don't take this poll too seriously. Texas Senators have generally been "at risk" in early polls and it never happens. If the Dems win a Senate seat in Texas, the GOP is fucked nationally. I'm not expecting that level of turnover, unless the tariffs do manage to create shortages and inflation goes up.

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

I like her a lot. Some Democrats should be terrified of her too.

She has a mean streak and is ratchet AF. For example, she called Gov. Abbott, who uses a wheelchair, "Governor Hot Wheels".

You called Kamala Harris "Heels up".

You're not seriously surprised that Derec has hypocritical objections to this black woman being popular and powerful, surely??

I think Derec is rightfully questioning the veracity of this person taking a US Senate seat in Texas. I had to look up who she was. That likely means she is a newcomer, and unless she has Pres. Obama's level of charisma (she didn't speak in a prominent position at the last DNC convention) taking an incumbent seat in Texas seems unlikely on its face... and even more unlikely that a poll would have Fox News panicking.

Yes, she is black, attractive, young (for a politician), a female, the typical triggers, but Derec's opening salvo only raised legitimate concerns. Which must really indicate just how new to the scene she is!

So in 24 hrs, Derec went from not knowing much about her to pretty much like he is about most people of her ilk in a position of power.

Comparing Crocket to Greene is absurd. Greene is an anti-Semitic asshole, you know... real anti-Semitism that involves whining about globalists and what not. Greene has a high bar to reach when it comes to being a rather bad person.

Not that it matters (see: Dolt45-47) but Crockett has about 2x Empty Gee’s IQ.
Unfortunately STOOPID seems to be all the rage in Murka.

That he made not one, but two of the first four posts on the thread, to tell us all how black unsuitable and female unelectable she is?

Is this your first day?

I think Derec has a point about how electable Crockett is state-wide in Texas. I don’t know enough about Texas districts/state voting to know how much to agree or disagree with his assessment.

I’m a pretty huge fan of Crockett and if anyone can convince the voters across the state of TX to vote for her statewide, it would be Abbot and Trump.

You definitely over estimate Greene’s IQ.

Sheesh. It was just human kindness to grant her that.

 

[TomC]

I dunno.
I'm sure as hell no fan. But sometimes I suspect that she's kinda like a good cheater at cards.
Or maybe like a great quote I once heard from Dolly Parton. She was asked by an interviewer about her "beauty budget". She kinda giggled and refused to answer directly. What she said was, "It costs a lot of money to look this cheap!"

I don’t recall any criticism of Trump from Derec on name calling.

Or on anything else.
When I used to read his posts, I recall that he felt there was already more than sufficient criticism of Trump on these pages. Sort of insinuating that if we were more balanced, he’d be criticizing the Felon, which he only seems to adore.
Ya sure ya betcha.

 

[Derec]

How do you figure? While I do not think MTG is particularly intelligent herself, even if she was one standard deviation below mean, i.e. had an IQ of 85, JFC would have to have genius-level IQ of 170 for what you say to be true.
I have not seen any evidence that JFC is particularly intelligent. She is a lawyer from a middling-level law school. Big deal! And she has made her name in Congress with calling her opponents names, not with anything smart.

Unfortunately STOOPID seems to be all the rage in Murka.

And it's not limited to one side of the aisle.

 

[Derec]

which he only seems to adore.

Show me one post where I "adore" Trump? I disagree with him on most things, and even where he did good, he has the unfortunate tendency to TACO. Like bombing Tehran regime's nuclear facilities.

Not liking Trump does not mean I need to "ditto" every criticism of him, even if I agree with it. That's boring. This is a discussion forum, and I tend to post where there is disagreement. Like Ziprhead's post quoting Occupy Democrats (of all things) gassing up JFC for US Senate. I do not think she'd be a good candidate. If Dems are serious about contending Cornyn's seat, they need to nominate somebody better. And please no β either.

If you all would do a little research, you would find out that Texas has the capacity to turn blue. Texas has one of the lowest voter turnout records in the country. It also has one of the lowest percentage of white voters in the country. Even though more minorities have voted Republican recently, the majority still vote for Democrats.

Texas has many large blue cities. It was blue when I lived there although that was in another era. What goes around comes around. The Democrats in Texas are somewhat optimistic that Texas will become blue again. Voter apathy was and still is a problem in Georgia, although it's not as bad as it was 20 years ago. If Texas works hard and gets out the vote, Texas could have a Democratic Senator. I have no idea who that might be, and I would expect that that it might be decided in a primary election. Just don't give up on Texas.

How do I know this? When I saw this thread started, I did a lot of my own reading on what Texans thought along with the statistics regarding the demographics and voting history of Texans. You can learn more that way instead of simply reading what people post here.

Greene is still an anti-Semite.

And it's not limited to one side of the aisle.

Both parties have their under-educated bases. I'm much less worried about that as I am the normalization of crypto-currency, our next catastrophic economic bubble, the GOP shuttering buildings and permanently reducing staffing, and the likely problems of Social Security as far as my retirement is concerned to care much about bases and their intelligence. The GOP is tearing down the Federal Government in front of our eyes. The importance of left-wing clickbait isn't that important to me.

IMO, there is far too much empty rhetoric and simple prejudice involved in this constant habit people seem to have for calling other people stupid, ignorant, unintelligent. A person very close to me does little besides complain how everyone is so fucking stupid. People who don't listen to the rock bands he likes are stupid. People who walk around in sandals are stupid. He watches television shows and complains that the characters are stupid. God, why the fuck is everyone so stupid. On and on and on.

Only stupid people I know are every other driver on the damn road.

In politics, there is generally only empty rhetoric, as fixing things is hard and detailed and more difficult to explain. Complaining about the Rothchilds is easy.

You are ignoring content by this member.

You called Kamala Harris "Heels up".

You're not calling Derec misogynist are you? He makes up for the slurs against Elizabeth Warren ("Pocahontas"), Kamala "Heels Up" Harris, and Alexandria O-C ("Sandy the Barmaid") by refraining from any aspersions against fine stateswomen like Marjorie Taylor-Greene and Lauren Boebert. Anyway, what seem like slurs to us are probably Derec's way of showing affection. Has he revealed his pet name for the lovely Miss Crockett yet? "Aunt Jemima" maybe, with "Jemima" kin to "Jasmine" ?

Refraining, and trying to take exception.
Crockett has more class in her little finger than Empty G and Bobblehead combined.
This is a trailer trash administration, top to bottom. Especially top.
You can take the trash out of the trailer park, but you can’t take the trailer park out of the trash.

Newsweek - Jasmine Crockett's Chances of Winning Texas Senate Primary—Poll

Meidas Touch - Trump gets HITS with SHOCK SENATE POLL….in TEXAS?!!!

Black Wall Street Times - Jasmine Crockett leading among Texas Democrats for U.S. Senate

I haven't even heard of the last source, but it is by far the most accurate leading headline. Newsweek isn't clickbait, but it isn't exactly telling you something. Facebook, YouTube titles... OMFG Clickbait. I stopped doing the Meidas Touch a while ago. High on the noise and hyperbole, by my standards. What the poll also indicated, Allred was viewed as the best candidate to win the General Election (selected second overall for who those polled wanted to support).
