The real wimps are the Republicans. The all know how wrong this is but lack any courage to stand up for what is right.

Exactly. So attack Republicans. Or, attack non-voters. Don't attack the only people who have been trying to help us.
Fighting like we've got nothing left to lose because if we lose, we will have nothing left.
Love this guy! Talarico for President.
Absolutely!
We need a Democratic Party that pushes back. Keep pushing back. youtu.be/iaOMHEbinIk
Who or what do you think you're helping by whining about Democrats? Are you really that self-absorbed to think your whining is going to help anything? You know who making people unhappy about Democrats helps - republicans. In this critical moment you're not helping, you're hurting
You need education about the legislative process and majority votes. Get yourself out and protest, donate and let us know what your magic wand can do. In the meantime, do your own part.
I agree, James! Thanks for being a fighter, not a folder!
Not sure about that "a little more Texas" reference. 🤔
YES
Texas needs more of you
Excellent speech. Such a shame you're taking money from Miriam Adelson...
When was the last time Democrats in Texas won anything? Maybe its not a good idea to fight like Teaxas Democrats Unless you want to lose for the next 25 years
Show ‘em how it’s done, James! Show them what integrity looks like!
We need ACTIONS not speeches!!!
Yes. The Democrat's new slogan should be You Deserve Better.
Post more content here!
James, I hope you have presidental aspirations
But what are the rules? The fight moves back and forth across the field with the goalposts constantly shifting. Team A honors no rules, no boundaries, no laws, no courts, no elected officials besides the ones that sit idly by and watch passively. Team B is constantly huddling, debating the rulebook
THANK YOU FOR BEING A FIGHTER! I have followed you for a while and appreciate all that you do! Thank you @jamestalarico.bsky.social !! Please consider running for Congress! 💙
Tell me this is starting the lead up to announce for #TXSEN.
You’re showing them how, James!
Damn. I’ve been with you thus far. This ain’t it.
Candidates like @jamestalarico.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social are the future. Don’t let the Dem leadership define the party, we have SO many amazing, thoughtful, smart, innovative fighters running right now across this country. Give them your support, show them that’s what we want!
This!
Imagine a Democratic party people showed up for and credited for their efforts often enough to consistently build the political power necessary to produce the results we withhold our votes wanting.
@democrats.org
We need some fighters running for office in Alaska.
He has my full support , please let’s send him to Washington!
Fighters, not 📁📂s.
Thank fuck for these Angels!! 👼
👍🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸
That's more like it
Chuck Schumer will fire off a letter to the White House.
Does the National Democratic Party have a LEVER? Do they know how to TURN UP THE LEVER from 1 to 15 on a scale of 1-10? It’s WAY PAST TIME to address the WAR THE FELON started on 1/6/21! WE ARE IN A WAR! Behave like you are the LEADERS in THIS WAR TO SAVE AMERICA & OUR DEMOCRACY.
Please god
Being boisterous is not the solution. Strategy is the key. Suring up your footings before you pounce. Surprise is the element, and intellect.
Hilarious. Texas wouldn’t be my first choice.
You being a fighter is very much appreciated. 🇺🇸💙
The DNC needs to elect an opposition cabinet for a coordinated fight
The DNC doesn’t have a cabinet. It’s not the government. It has a national committee.
It might be an idea to have an organised ‘shadow’ government/ cabinet with reps from the Dem Party to give an organised opposition pov. At least the American people could understand in real time what the other side’s policies would be
The DNC is NOT government. It’s not the Democratic Party. Do you not know what the DNC is & how it functions???
Clearly not. Not from your country. Usually if something’s not working it’s an idea to try something that might . But hey thanks for your patience
Have democrat leaders forgotten how to fight, or are they paid not to fight by wealthy donors? Never did trust this moderate centrist bullshit.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
If Texas Democrats could win a majority in Texas, y'all wouldn't need to flee North to prevent your complete eradication. You couldn't get elected senator if your life depended on it. Great you were so brave, sad you had to be. Do not talk smack about other Democrats. That's loser behavior.
No offense, but unless it's barbecue or Austin, I really don't want more Texas in any part of my life. But I damn sure want more smart, decent, strong young leaders like you stepping up
I really like this attitude 😄
We need a party that isn't beholden to the genocidal state of Israel.
Adelson is awful, and has a Jewish name, but that PAC is about legalizing casinos not Israel.
And it’s an obvious hit piece from Politico
ARE YOU FUCKING SURE ABOUT THAT JAMES? Ye gods & ancestors but I'm sick & tired of Democratic politicians RUNNING AGAINST THEIR OWN PARTY just for a little fucking internet attention. Do fucking BETTER you sanctimonious asshole.
👏👏👏👏👏
You are 100% correct! Corporate Democrats need to step up or move the fuck out of the way! There are Democrats that are willing to get their hands dirty. Like Talarico Crockett, Garcia, AOC, Casar, Stansbury, Frost, Raskin, Murphy and many more. When they do I believe the people will stand with you
Now THAT is what leadership sounds like
You give me hope that someday Texas will turn blue and Republicans will never taste presidency again when that happens. They know this, and that's why they're doing everything they can to prevent that from happening, but it will.
👏
I hope you’re referring to the Texas Democrats who left the state and not just Texas because the Republicans there are pretty awful…
@democrats.senate.gov WHAT is it going to take!!??
Come to California. Talk to us? Better yet, talk to our Governor.
WTH. Newsom is actively fighting. Vote YES on Prop 50.
The party needs you James
“Blah blah blah Democrat should fight more… What?… Fight… what?… More. What part of fight more don’t you understand? No, I don’t have any specifics. I just like to say blah blah, blah, and fight more. I don’t have any real ideas. I just like to whine about Democrats.” Focus, James, focus!!
Hasn’t Texas bent the knee to the fake clownking without any fight ?
👏👏👏
Please call for a National Strike to grind this agenda to a halt.
That’s what I’m saying I’m ready.
Then we throw them out and vote for candidates for the people, not the billionaires!
First we win next year. Period.
They didn’t forget. They’re complicit. It’s greed. They believe fewer of us means more for them. They’re fucking stupid.
We need a Democratic party that is a little more @jamestalarico.bsky.social and a lot less in the pockets of big money and the Oligarchy.
It is time for the all-nation agreement to end war and for the all-nation cooperative re: the consequences of and solutions to climate change. It is time for the end of the juvenile 'us versus them' and the origin of the grown-up 'we are all in this together'. ZOOM call to all leaders is doable.
You're not the only dreamer James Talarico!!!
You work in the same office as those other Democrats right? Why don’t you go have a word with them. Curious as to why you took $59,000 from a republican billionaire.
Wow! This is good. (Mannerisms remind me of Obama big time 😁)
DC is under siege. Have some respect . Have Texans any experience fighting cops? Sounds like wishful thinking tbh. This tribalism us vs them high school rivalry vibes in defunded schools as a substitute for any political education is what got us into this mess.
Good job, @jamestalarico.bsky.social. As an older democrat, I am interested in investing in capable, effective leaders. Our current democrat leaders have largely failed to execute effective strategies. More horse, less hat. I love it.
We needed this last November. They needed a strong consistent plan. They missed so many opportunities
I got a better speech. We are the Democratic Party and we are standing with the American people. Check Biden’s record on housing, education and jobs.
lol. I like your tailor-made comment. “ this dumb dog shit will get them fighting.” the idiot thinks when they forget, they’re on blue sky and not Twitter.
watch talarico hammer the MAGAs in the senate - he's like a dog with a bone. his line of questioning is blunt and to the point, refusing to let them off without answering. every dem needs to be that relentless.
I think Democrats are worried about their donors flying away. They will dance to any music. Democrats are lacking leadership with the spine of steel who is not going to bend. Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are on their knees, praying for a good outcome. We need a younger version of Bernie Sanders
Amen.
Quit acting like a "Party" and more like a "Resistance"!
I like him. But he’s far from the only fighter on the Democratic Party. And I need NOTHING from Texas.
Texas has some serious issues for sure but there are some great Democrats that are from Texas that should not be overlooked. Maybe consider supporting them and help flip that state. If we claim to be a party for everyone excluding states that we can help seems counterproductive.
You're right. I wrote in anger and disgust. Of course there are many good people in Texas and I hope one day they will help flip the state.
I like him too but I won't support anyone who makes their name by tearing down the rest of the party.
Yes!
Democrats have been arrested, roughed up by ICE, thrown to the ground. They are showing up every day. Democrats in Minnesota were assassinated for being Democrats. Court cases have been filed. Filibuster records broken. Over 100 Town Halls in GOP DISTRICTS. DEMS ARE FIGHTING. This is BS.
Where are the daily press briefings to put a counter narrative to this fascist fuckery on the table? Do Bernie and AOC have the back from the party leaders?
How many press conferences you didn’t hear about because corporate media doesn’t care? They do a Daily Blueprint on YouTube which is excellent. And you can follow hundreds of Democrats on here. Or ignore it all and act like Bernie and AOC are the only two.🤷♀️ m.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
They silenced Tim Waltz during the campaign, to stop using “weird people”. Because.. well that doesn’t fit to the corporate Dems sound. I’m not saying there aren’t any democratic fighters, but the the impression they give is not unified in an anti-fascist fight
So you’re absolutely fine with what they do and think they’re doing enough?
Democrats/centrists/liberals literally were more willing to endorse the big bill that gave away our right to elections if the dictator makes up any reason and gives ice the budget of a medium nation - than they are willing to endorse a progressive leftist for mayor of nyc under their banner
Oh no! The Mamdani Test!
Both are true. It depends which Democrat you’re talking about.
BS
Exactly.
So name the people you have an issue with & be specific about what you think they did wrong. Don't vaguely trash "Democrats" or "the Democratic Party". And give credit whenever credit is due. It's ok to critique sometimes, but show support & solidarity when they do something good (which is a lot!).
"Pragmatic Progressive" Translation: I'm a liberal who likes fascist-lite! You're not a progressive.
Good thing I don’t care what you think! ✌️
That's not happen with @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social they are the epitome of cowards.
"We need a Democratic Party that is a little less Washington and a little more Texas." Well, now.. Can't really agree with that at all. Texas fucking sucks. They outdo Ohio with terrible decisions these days.
What state are Trump, Schumer, and Jeffries from? I guess New Yorkers are spineless cowards and thugs.
There are some great Democrats coming out of Texas. Even though that state has major issues we as Democrats should not forget the blue dots that are there fighting and should support them trying to flip their state. Just saying!
You need people to fight against what the country is becoming, regardless of political affiliation.
James, let’s start calling the Project 2025 execution as a COUP! It’s happening in clear sight. `let’s frame it a a CVOUOP end of.
Do not agree the Democrats have forgotten how to fight. My view is the DEMOCRATS are paid not to fight, why they never ended Citizens United.
That too
Exactly! They are bought and have taken a dive for decades. They keep inventing poll-tested tricks to scare voters into voting for them, but only deliver for billionaires and corporations. Now, the wear the moral stain of supporting mass starvation in Gaza.
Yes. This does seem fascism. Corporate Power is Protected #9 The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. ratical.org/ratville/CAH...
Could not agree more! Well said. #OverturnCitizensUnited
Forgetting something is easy when paid to forget. Greed takes over.
We need more fighters like you!
Or try that old Susan Collins standby, "Concerned."
I regularly fantasize about #AOC taking out Schumer in a primary. I'd be curious to see if he could must half the class that Joe Crowley did when she beat him.
*muster
They're buying a bigger thesaurus that promises stronger words on the cover.
I didn't know how to fight, but I'm fighting now. If you're looking for a Democratic leader to be your hero, look in the mirror.
Bravo! Much much more of this, please.
Sweetie- I hate to tell you but WHITE MEN AND WOMEN VOTED FOR TRUMP .. They want this !! Texas wants this !! They voted for Ted Cruz Greg abbot Not because of bad Dems .. You win a national election in Texas yet ? bsky.app/profile/iwil...
THANK YOU.
This was as painful to watch as newsreels of Nazis disappearing dissidents and Jews in WWII. I'm so disgusted and angry, I want to scream. Good job, America. We are the sort of evil fascist state we claim to be against.
When I read this post, this picture comes to mind. Trump will continue this cruel and evil policy, no matter the pain and the suffering. And MAGAs like Nancy Mace rejoice in this, she says watching these videos "gets her excited."
The same for me.
Right? Texas is NOT a state Democrats should “be more like.” A corrupt Governor. 49th in the nation for maternal health. Part time legislature. Corrupt courts and penal system. Threadbare social safety net. SENDS TED CRUZ TO WASHINGTON. Be more like CA, MA, MN, IL, MD, or even GA.
Schumer and Jeffries need to step down and let the ones with courage and tenacity lead the fight for democracy
This must be the future of the Democratic Party if there is any ounce of hope left to prevent the US collapse.
James Talarico gives all of us Hope. Hold my beer, we've got shit to do. 💙
I have a really good imagination. This is very hard to imagine. It has to happen, but really?
I’m in 👆💯💥👍🏻✅
We had this in the pocket. Trump and Elon somehow someway cheated.
77 million voters are in a cult. 90 million voters chose not to show up. Sorry, I know it's hard to accept but the sad truth is that a small majority of Americans just don't care about democracy. There is no compelling evidence of widespread cheating. We just lost. End of story.
Amen brother James!!
why the FUCK are you attacking Democrats? t
You all folded on the gerrymander. Fighting fascism often requires hardship. You didn’t have to return and let the gerrymander happen. You did it anyway. Yes, fighting would have been hard — but that’s the point. You chose to fold. No moral victories. Outcomes are all that count.
Next Dem POTUS
Have you no sandwiches, people?
Being a little more like Texas isn’t exactly what people want to be but I get what you’re saying. The Democratic Party, local city county state national – need to be as you said - aggressive. they need to declare who they are not passively, but actively; & at the same time be rational pragmatic.
Thank you James! Our party has to take the fight to them, its time for offense
Saddle up James!
We need more Americans standing up and speaking truth to power like James Talarico.
He is a bright rising star! ⭐
Announce for senate already!
Oh wow, can you imagine him knocking out that fat pig, Cruz, or that other sick freak from Texas?!
Totally can!!
We have to fight Putin, Trump and Netanyahu . Some "leftists" still want to fight Joe Biden
Agreed. HoweverI will not throw money to the Dem party when they so clearly are not interested in fighting for democracy. I will vote for national D and hold my nose. How can average people create change without leaders?
FAMOUS QUOTES; "Christians, get out and vote. Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore, you know what? Four more years, it’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine, you won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians" Candidate Donald Trump youtu.be/gE7xoHJkgvE?...
Up until now, I've supported you because of your articulate stance against Christian Nationalism. But I'm very disappointed seeing this kind of negativity coming from you. All due respect, trashing your own party (& mine!) is not the way. Don't be a chaos agent!
👏👏👏
Keep speaking it! I admire and respect you so much and so does everyone I know. Thank you for setting an example for everyone to follow.
He lost me at "Plays to the fullest extent of the rules." They are not playing by the rules and if saving our democracy means we go low and beat them at their own scummy game then so be it! Let's break some rules for the good of our beloved democracy!
