I think that’s a huge leap. Talarico’s positions are way left of the Democratic establishment, why would they be more “scared” of Crockett than him? He’s got Zionist groups actively campaigning against him because he’s forthright about the Gaza genocide. He’s setting his campaign up against the wealthy and openly criticizing the Democratic party’s subservience to wealthy donors. There just isn’t that much difference between their political positions, and I don’t get your angle.

Here’s a recent headline:

Texas Jewish voters alarmed by James Talarico’s Israel rhetoric

Local leaders said that, without improved outreach from Talarico to address their concerns, they’re likely to vote for Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary

I agree, though after listening to both of them a bunch, I’m supporting Talarico in this election. I hope to continue to see Crockett’s star rise though

He’s not on the ballot…

I didn’t say at all that that’s what’s insane, but the Texas government’s relentless adherence to rules of procedure has made it where much of the worst legislation proposed by Republicans has been defeated or significantly delayed through points of order and delay tactics by Democrats

You can still (and should) watch it on YouTube!

Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislature

An element of what you say is true, but he’s also a cult of personality that they’re really going to struggle to replicate. Trump literally only cares about himself and has taken zero (0) steps to develop successors. Right now, JD Vance is poised to lead the movement, and he has the personality of a potato

Here in Texas, our leading candidates for Senate (James Talarico) and governor (Gina Hinojosa) are taking refreshingly reality-based positions on Gaza and seem to be developing campaigns aimed directly against billionaires. I like what I’ve been hearing

I’ll remember this next time I sing “Short Dick Man”

Tuna means prickly pear cactus fruit in Spanish, I’ve heard it called that pretty often in Texas

His intention is to travel across the surface of the ocean. If he visits the sea floor, there will have been a problem

Florida has BBQ? I’ve been there a bunch and have never heard of it

Nah, fuck that shit. Texas politics suck hard, but not like Florida suck. The Texas Legislature is out of their minds, but they still follow rules of procedure. Florida’s government is fucking gone

Oh, is Mike Lindell reentering the ring? That guy never disappoints

This has become the culture at many if not most large companies. Only the people who are willing to totally debase themselves and incessantly parrot the company line rise to the top, and that has an inverse relationship with talent.

What did Tim do to deserve this

I didn’t say that. Yahweh used to be a part of a polytheistic religion and over time became the only god. That doesn’t make polytheism and monotheism the same thing, but it does make Allah and God the same god as the Yahweh from the original polytheistic religion.

👍

The etymology of some words have previous origins, but that’s it.

What are you basing this on? It’s pretty settled among historians that the Abrahamic God is Yahweh, who was previously a minor deity in the Canaanite pantheon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahweh

The concept of God in…all of Abrahamic monotheism…is very different from other religions (including the pagan religions of the time), it’s way less bestial and/or anthropomorphic and local.

Whoa. Super judgemental here, and also wrong.

Semitic polytheism transitioned into Abrahamic monotheism by way of Yahwism, a variety of Canaanite paganism centred on Yahweh, the national god of the Iron Age kingdoms of Israel and Judah. In this process, Yahweh was syncretized with El, the supreme god of the Canaanite pantheon, whose name “El” אל, or elah אלה is a word for “god” in Hebrew, cognate to Arabic ʼilāh إله, and its definitive pronoun form الله Allāh, “(The) God”.

It’s a headline not based on the article for sure. There’s no question about it existing

God that article made me queasy. As a Texan, I hope for a day when we’ll have state leadship who is interested in protecting the people of Texas rather than lying and covering up to protect exploitative business leaders
