Senate 2026
Centrism and moderation are fool’s gold, for multiple reasons. I’m not saying a centrist or a moderate can’t win. They can, but it’s irrelevant to winning; doesn’t help, doesn’t hurt. It’s the middle ground between poles on a map nobody cares about out.

Senate 2026
That’s not at all accurate. Texas as still competitive. The GOP held the state senate by one seat. Sanchez got annihilated, losing by 18%, but John Sharp only lost the Gov Lite race by 5% and Kirk by 12. And that sweep was only possible because the Democrats publicly chose to “keep their powder dry”* in 2000 and didn’t field a full ticket. Then they turned Kirk’s senate race into a referendum on who would be most helpful to Bush** between himself and Cornyn. If not for unforced errors Sharp wins in 2002, and Bell wins the Governor mansion in 2006 instead of losing by 10%.

Crockett Scambles Democrats Each moment brings a fresh reason to be grateful she’s getting in and there will be a real primary. For example, we could have gotten this bullshit, which would have been the 2026 version of the Sanchez/Kirk “Dream Ticket” debacle: Competition is good.

An independent executive office with at least as much and more immediately tangible power than that of the Governor, but I’ll grant that it doesn’t get much attention.

I’m not worried about the money, the earned media will pay for itself.

Talarico- I think he’s got a better chance of winning a general and as it happens I also think he would be a better and more effective senator.

Let’s see if he can beat Julie Johnson.

Allred? He needs to run for private citizen. I’ve been very critical of his campaigns, but I’m sure he’s a wonderful person and can serve the public in many ways. He’s just not cut out to be a candidate or elected official.

Yes, and that’s a feature, not a big. The purpose of competition is to identify winners. The losers are the people perpetually waiting for the right moment (the Castros) or fighting over safe open seats (Texas HD 49 clown car) or incumbents pushing out other Incumbents to avoid a tough race (Casar). I’ve got a hell of a lot more respect for a Crockett, Talarico or Eckhardt (or for that matter even an Elise Stefanik in her run for NY governor) who put themselves in a position to fail while daring greatly. That’s what opposition politics requires.

I hope she does too. Talarico needs a lot more edge, Crockett needs a lot more polish, and Democratic primary voters need to grow the fuck up. A hot primary is good for everyone involved.

The money wasn’t coming, the grass roots rejection was increasingly public and vocal, and his backers didn’t want to lose the entire value of their investment when he came in third. Allred is a salvage project now.

Styles make fights and she can’t beat either Paxton or Cornyn. Disagree strongly! Democrats clearing the field for Hillary Clinton is how America got Donald Trump. Candidates need real tests and Democrats in Texas need attention. If Talarico can’t beat Crockett he can’t beat Cornyn or Paxton. Furthermore, a stiff challenge from Talarico will make Crockett a better candidate. Either way, the race will draw a lot of eyeballs and that’s what Democrats need more than anything. Competitive, high contrast primaries are good, period.

NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
I should add- Denver and the Lakers have a chance to beat the Thunder in the playoffs because the Thunder’s superpower is their ability to seal passing lanes and Jokic and Luka are the only guys good enough to neutralize that advantage. But neither team is deep enough or have good enough third and fourth options in my opinion.

NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
They would beat Denver in the playoffs. Look, for me the Thunder represents the absurd, tragic culmination of everything that’s gone wrong with the NBA and NBA fans. BUT This OKC team is one of the three or four best NBA teams of my life. It’s in the same category as the 96 bulls, the 87 Lakers and the 86 Celtics. They are a clear title favorite at this point and 67 regular season wins seems like a gimme, unless two or more starters miss significant time.

Interdesting- RFK Jr. off the chain and off his rocker
I don’t disagree but it doesn’t seem like these are in fact risk-based or public-health based recommendations, or at least these decisions seem to incorporate political ideologies, and I think I’m being generous to even describe them that way.- 25-26 Dallas Mavericks Thread: The Season of Our Discontent
