[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More signs that Trump’s authoritarian actions are breaking American democratic values.  Ken  Paxton who is running for Senate in Texas has threatened to jail his potential Democratic rival.

In Texas, a Senate Race Turns Brutal Before It’s Even Declared
Attorney General Ken Paxton is waging “legal war” against Beto O’Rourke, a possible Democratic rival, threatening jail and an investigation that could bankrupt his organization.[/quote]

Beto can not win in Texas sorry but he can not.

It's a waste of money and resources for him to run. Is he great of course can he win no.

Paxton will jail him[/quote]

Texas is a huge state and Democrats shouldn't just roll over and play dead in a state where a lawless AG is threatening to jail their poiltical rival and getting away with it.  Candidate efforts to mobilize likely voters will pay dividends in other races even if they don't win the Senate.  [/quote]

36 year old James Talreico just threw his hat in the ring as a Democratic Senate candidate.  Between him and Collin Allred-Dems have two strong candidates.

Talarico, the former middle school teacher and seminarian who grew up the son of a single mother, has attracted significant attention since he flipped a Trump-leaning state House district in the Austin suburb of Round Rock, winning it by 2 percentage points in 2018. He has since built a viral video presence leaning on his theological background and scored a coveted sitdown on Joe Rogan’s podcast in July.

Now Talarico will test the power of the attention economy to mobilize Democratic donors, volunteers and voters in a state that has long been out of reach. An eighth-generation Texan, Talarico said he knows there’s a steep path — both to the nomination and the Senate — but he’s ready for a challenge (he once walked 25 miles across the length of his district twice, holding three town halls over 10 hours).[/quote]
