zoux posted:The fact that Sema is targeting Cristina, who is the closest ideologically to her, rather than the ultra-moderate other candidates should tell you something. https://twitter.com/_semahernandez_/status/1230960087151321089 “Bernie said we should move on after November 2016 and we should try to do our best to work with Trump. I was just trying to share Bernie’s sentiment” zoux posted:I believe the issue was that was that by adding in the Tzintzun she was appealing to some kind of esoteric intra-latino conflict over racial authenticity, that is to say, Cristina was implying she's a "real Mexican" as opposed to other hispanic candidates. Yeah, I’m not Latino so I won’t profess to have any understanding of the issue. If someone was upset by what she said I won’t disagree with that. But it does bother me that the Hernandez crowd is attacking her for using her mother’s name and alluding to her being a fake Latina. The more objectionable thing is probably her taking her ex-husband’s name while they were splitting up right before she ran, but even that I can’t really knock too much. People do weird stuff with divorces especially when kids are involved. My mom kept her name from her first marriage (my dads and my own last name) even after she remarried because she thought it would be confusing for her kids and at school. I’m not even really hugely into this fight. I gave money to Sema in 2018 and voted for her in the primary. She just never really struck me as a particularly serious candidate and it seemed like Ramirez has a solid platform and a better campaign apparatus so I’ve supported her this time around. But beyond that I don’t really have a dog in the fight. KIM JONG TRILL fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Feb 25, 2020 |

KIM JONG TRILL posted:https://twitter.com/_semahernandez_/status/1230960087151321089  "He never had my support" directly below the tweet in the thread that shows her own facebook post plastered with #MAGA and a Ben Garrison cartoon. I get that her real aim is "gently caress the government" and she was stupid enough to think that Trump really was going to do Small Government Things rather than just fill his own pockets, but all of that in and of itself is just as disqualifying as anything else.

https://twitter.com/TexasTribAbby/status/1232435342424207361?s=20 Extremely lol that these people who have done nothing but lose for 20 years are afraid Bernie is gonna make them lose so bad you guys!!! I like the throwaway line about Beto doing well in 2018, which also had nothing to do with any of the people quoted in this story scared about Bernie.

TropicalCoke posted:ive heard a couple of rumors about Ramirez that are kind of concerning but completely unsubstantiated. This is the same for me, a lot of smoke - but no fire. On the other hand, people in political positions tolerate a lot of poo poo from abusive bosses - campaign workers aren't allowed to unionize and every Dem campaign in TX would hire scabs in a seconds. Elected officials are verbally and emotionally abusive and campaigns themselves are extraordinarily high stress with long hours. I'm very glad I sold the gently caress out and don't work in that business anymore, but I tend to believe the things I hear about lovely bosses in politics. Just vote for Royce West - been a good D operator in the state leg forever. Reward him with a run at a statewide.

I remember a bunch of Serious Texas Democrats back in 2018 who were Raising Concerns about Beto eating poo poo because he wouldn't work with them. Lmao gently caress them Same, but technically Baytown

I've seen more Briscoe Cain signs around here lately (shitloads) than I've seen literally any other political sign that isn't for that one constable whose name I've already forgotten. The others have been non existent except for that one Bloomberg billboard off 10 and Garth in Baytown.
