    How is it that someone who isn’t even an elected official yet, gets scrutinised for taking a few days to recover from sickness, but an actually elected official disappears for months and when people inquire, they get told to respect said person’s privacy?

      The same dickheads that kept saying Covid was “just like the flu”, even. Ignoring that the flu kills many people every year…

      They probably just assume it’s covering up some sort of scandal since they themselves always prove to have scandals.

      Sort of like how all Republicans need to cheat like hell this year! Just like the other side! I truly think the masses believe that Democrats cheat to win. They are so stuck in their echo chamber that they just don’t understand how people can vote for a Democrat.

    You should have seen local social media. He was getting smeared by the right claiming he went into hiding, he was scared, he was quitting the race etc…

    No, no no, he’s a VA-GEN, and he was sick from eating meat, which being so feminine, he cannot stand and throws up all over himself after going to so many BBQs!

    Honestly, this is nothing compared to what Jasmine Crockett went through. I’m sincerely disappointed in Texas for not voting for her.

      She was a phenomenal Representative. It is a shame she refuses to help him campaign.

      It is a fantasy to think a person of color or a woman (let alone both of these things combined) would win in Texas. Talarico is the correct choice. Look at how close the polls are, it’s embarrassing. This should be a no brainer, no contest blow out for Talarico and it’s not.

      America hates women even in liberal blue states.

        Or maybe it wasn’t the fact she was a woman. Just not a very good politician.

        Voted for Israel aid and accepted AIPAC donations. Gun rights and cryptocurrency supporter. Used AI slop in her campaign ad.

        Maybe that’s why people didn’t vote for THIS woman.
