What will Black Americans learn from the Jasmine Crockett primary loss?

[AVXL]

This isn’t it brehs.

Whether you like Jasmine Crockett or not, she’s a Black woman just like our mamas, grandmas, sisters, and aunts.

I guess I’m getting old, because I can’t stand when we do these think pieces on each other that further divide Black men and Black women.

We are not an enemy to one another. Those cacs and their way of thinking is our enemy.

The reality is that the particular voting block she needed to win wouldn’t have voted for a progressive minded Black man either.

White moderates and want to be White Latin cacs will not vote for a Black candidates in mass. Obama was anomaly and we might not see another him for a long time.

A lot of yall want to be “cute” and talk about platforms and shyt on Black candidates saying she should have run better when you have a 30 something time convicted felon that sits in the highest level of government. There is evidence to suggest he’s likely a pedo too. That is not to mention his band of sycophants that are openly bigots and willing to rationalize bending the rules and breaking the law for him and to meet their political aspirations. All that yet White folks still vote for them in lock step and stick on to the code.

The Black candidate has to run the perfect campaign for yall though, I knew she was unlikely to win in Texas, but I expected much more from you kneegrows here. Some of yall sound like cacs.

Everything you’re saying is facts but from the outside looking in she ran a terrible campaign and lost to a better candidate. And if we know the cards are stacked against us and we have to be 2X better to win statewide then stop doing Breakfast Club interviews and do a better job strategizing and spend smarter on a statewide ground campaign in your state. She moved like she had that shyt on lock b/c she got the name recognition yet was solidly defeated by a newbie

I like Sam usually, but the way they've been acting over this guy and Garaham Platner, has turned me off from watching their show. The fukked up thing is that Talarico was the one with insider and establishment donor support. Jasmine Crockett had an endorsement from Kamala Harris, but that's it. The Democratic party establishment didn't line up behind her. That is a false narrative. But these white people need to push this narrative so their poster boy looks good, and so they can push their attacks on what they call "identity politics," even though Talarico engaged in them himself.

She turned out over 1m voters (1,034,096) vs Talarico 1.1m (1,188,253) and lost by 154k. Are all those people clueless of what issues/policy she supports? Are they just driven by a cult of personality? She did that without strong backing from party insiders and establishment donor networks. Most of her campaign funding came from her House campaign account. Talarico benefited from small donations of course, but there were also pro-Talarico aligned super PAC that was funded by wealthy donors and dark‑money groups who spent millions on advertising supporting him and attacking Crockett.

Talarico + aligned Super PAC spent $25m
Crockett + aligned Super PAC spent $5.5m (less than $500k coming from the PAC).

She was the AIPAC candidate despite not taking any donations from them while Talarico took a donation from Miriam "we must annex the West Bank" Adelson.

I don't know why he was being treated as the underdog or the honest progressive champion, especially when she supported the same progressive Democratic policies and also emphasized racial equity initiatives, and secured federal funding for her district. I guess that doesn't count though and it was because of the cult of personality.

Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico has vowed to ban super PACs if elected, yet a super PAC called Lone Star Rising PAC funded by dark money groups and Democratic billionaires has spent millions on negative ads against Talarico's primary opponent, Rep. Jasmine Crockett. The super PAC was formed by Talarico's close friend Alexander Clark just a week after Talarico launched his campaign, raising questions about potential coordination.

The Lone Star Rising PAC has deployed nearly $3.7 million in negative ads against Talarico's primary opponent, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, since early February. The super PAC received a $500,000 donation from billionaire Reid Hoffman, who had a relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Other prominent donors to the pro-Talarico super PAC include hedge fund manager Stephen Mandel, Hyatt Hotel heir Adam Pritzker, Eagles drummer Don Henley, former Biden White House official Cristobal Alex, and private equity billionaire Mark Heising.

• Lone Star Rising PAC was formed on September 2, 2025.
• Talarico launched his Senate campaign one week later, on September 9, 2025.
• The super PAC received a $500,000 donation from billionaire Reid Hoffman in late January 2026.
• The super PAC deployed nearly $3.7 million in negative ads against Talarico's opponent since early February 2026.

Dark money floods Texas’ U.S. Senate primary races

The latest campaign finance reports show big-money interests are heavily invested in the Texas primaries — but unwilling to reveal their identities at a critical juncture of the race.

www.texastribune.org

A super PAC supporting one of the Democratic candidates, James Talarico, reported $6.1 million in contributions from Jan. 1 through Feb. 11. But more than half that came from a political action committee that was entirely funded by a dark money group on its last monthly report.

The pro-Talarico super PAC, Lone Star Rising PAC, disclosed that it got $3.75 million of its money for the period from another super PAC called Government That Works PAC. That group’s report for January showed that it received $4 million from the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a leading dark-money hub for Democrats that has previously been associated with Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss and Democratic megadonor George Soros.

The hypocrisy is stunning. The narrative around this primary just reeks of the kind of contempt I've been noticing from some segments of the Democratic party (voters, insiders, strategists). The double standards and selective complaining about "IDPOL" while people defend the folksy Nazi-friendly guy in Maine playing white identity politics is too hard to ignore. If you don't understand why some of her supporters are angry, then you don't want to. Let people be angry, they'll eventually cool off. And stop with the condescending, surface-level critique of her and her supporters.

hope that "black girl magic" "always listen to a black women era " is over

 

[Voice of Reason]

I hadn't seen that. Why would you release an ad in Texas where the president is calling you an idiot? It seems like the kind of thing that people would cheerlead online but might have difficulty getting actual traction in the real world.

There's a lot being made of Crocketts qualifications. They only matter if the people voting want them to matter.

She's a narcissistic feminist Black woman that bought into the Black girl magic bs.

Let’s just say I won’t be surprised when people air this guy out as yet another saboteur Democrat who’s really a Republican.

This country does it to themselves. More deadlocks to progress for it’s future.

I like Jasmine but she was definitely not to the left of Talarico. They are both moderates. Talarico at least paid lip service on prosecuting ICE, banning superPACs, and taxing billionaires.

 

[JT-Money]

For the Democrats sake hopefully they properly vetted Talarico. Because if he has anything weird in his background. Best believe it's going to come out before the Election. I'm already seeing excerpts of his sermons posted on social media.
