16. Its Not About Texas

Wed Mar 4, 2026, 10:43 AM

17 hrs ago

If James Talrico is the right person for Texas than I am happy he was selected. What I am saying as a black female voter in Georgia who talks to other black women....There is a big issue that the Democratic Party is ignoring. I would like the Democratic Party to stop using BW for their bull dogs to fight Trump and the Republicans. To stop taking our votes for granted and actually create a platform with policies targeted for the uplifting of BW and not just the Latino or LGBT communities. If they keep this up....I have no reason to vote any longer.
