I feel like I already answered this, but I’ll try and restate it with more words. I do not, in theory, think it is ever a bad idea to have this in a time of normalcy where you have a modicum of decorum etc. These are not normal times. Every single day he is not out canvassing the state presenting to voters in Texas his ideas for how to attempt to right a ship that’s leaning heavily towards sinking is a day wasted. You want to hold this contested primary in a time where contrasting two candidates and their ideas matter is different than the current landscape of combatting fascism that now has a fairly firm grip on Texas. Time is of the essence in attempting to fight back. Talarico is, and I think this will hold true, the right sex and color for that state. I find that abhorrent because I’d personally rather vote for women of color almost all of the time. I was able to vote for AOC once when I lived in her district. Talarico will be able to talk to people who normally do not want to hear one of those evil libtards because of how he looks and that he’s a man. It’s not right, but it is what it is.
I also happen to like Congresswoman Crockett quite a bit. Her and AOC are two that I enjoy listening to. She just is not going to win a statewide race in fascist Texas. I want ideas to matter and I want to hear a diverse array of them. I won’t agree with every single thing a Democratic candidate thinks or says, but I want to hear their ideas in a normal time. This just is not it.
