This is true, but also, Hasan might not need to go to Texas in the same way Kamala does not need to go to Alaska. His platform already turns out the voters that need to be turned out. It's the same with Jasmine. Her getting her people to vote has a net positive for talarico, as the votes will flow up. But her campaigning top of ballot could have a negative impact because of how diversive the primary was. Her doing what she is doing actually has made her a lightning rod for people to attack her instead of talarico, and I bet Texas republicans are just waiting to be able to put them together. It's why I always assumed it could have been a strategy to not have her participate.

This is also another issue that needs to be cleared up, because it will ruin a potential jury if the news keeps saying 7 people gang raped her, and then a prosecutor comes and says it was actually only 4 (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong). As I understand it: Victim consented to a threesome involving f1, f2, and f3. F4, and f5 did not have sexual intercourse with victim, but came to watch after Snapchat, F1 kicked out f2, f3, f4, and f5 (not sure if by victim request or the reason) Per the Cornell statement, victim consented to a second threesome with f1, f2, and f6. Which was watched by f7, who did not participate. So now you're going to explain to a jury that although it's been reported 7 men gang rapped a women, only 4 participated, 3 did not participate. And then it gets dicey because I think, per sunny reading the report, girl consented to the ketamine, which makes all of this dicey under NY law. Now part of me thinks that maybe the report was edited by Cornell and I won't believe all the facts presented in the 2024 report unless we get some kind of video recording, but too many people are treating this like telephone, and we need to wait for more info. What IS clear though is she did call this rape originally, and it should have been turned over to actual police to investigate.

That is not what she said. She only hits on the legality of the case and the prior representation made. She is not defending anyone.

Conspiracy theory: And what if Ann was right but just early. One big issue with Kamala was that no one wanted to vote for her, but would if required. Based on polls, everyone thought she was winning, and so people went into the whole "if she is winning then that means I don't have to be the one to vote for her." I think this time, you're going to have a combination of people not voting on the republican side because trump isn't on the ballot, you'll have an increase of Dem numbers of being anti-trump, you'll have an increase in Dems due to not trusting the polls. Etc. The polls have never been outside the margin of error, the main issues always come to a high amount of swing votes, and dem voters just not being as vote heavy as their republican counterparts. Which is a Trump switch.

I don't agree. Part of the reason Dem's lost Florida is because Obama took away the Cuban's "wet foot dry foot" policy when establishing DACA. The Cuban's got made they lost their way to citizenship and all swapped red. With deporting Cubans and Venezuelans to Africa, we may see a shift in the hispanic alliance that may make Florida competitive again.

Not rude unless you do it every time. A problem with some of my introvert friends. Like I invited one of my friends a cruise because I needed a second person, as I had already paid for 2. She asked who was coming, and it was a group of 7 other people, 2 of her friends and 1 person she doesn't like. So she said no because of the person she didn't like but had the audacity to say "if this person drops out let me know and I'll come." That's some self-centered ****. The person did drop out and I'm not inviting her though. It goes in the same vein as constantly cancelling last minute. Like if you cancel 3 times in a row, you are just no longer going to get invited. And don't be upset about it.

We will also add Nicki as a free bonus.

You have Beyoncé, Rihanna, Britney Jackson-Houston, and the black community have stolen hayley Williams, and in turn given the white community Kanye.

Girlllllll no. Britney is to pop what Nicki was to female rap. In both instances labels would not invest in solos because they had such a bad ROI. Britney, even as a bubblegum pop girl was considered a high risk, and BOMT was rejected by a lot of people, including TLC and BackStreet boys, because Max Martin was an unknown producer and risky as well. Everything with Britney is "hindsight is 2020." That's why Christina was rushed out due to it now being seen as profitable for a solo female artist.

Pop culture honestly requires both of them to be where we are today. It's not like we are talking about Xtina, Jessica Simpson, Raven Simone, Kesha, Demi, or any of the other b-tier girls. Each A list pop star brought something to move us forward. The following from our generation we could not be here in present day without: Britney Bey Rih Gaga Katy AdelE Miley Taylor Hayley Williams Avril Those are your top 10 A-list pop stars. Sorry about it. Sad only 4 black gurls on the list. 😭

Mess I'm on my phone so I never see signatures. OT: yall leave the boy Talarico alone. He has always shown support for the community.

So there is a way to link instagram with keeping yourself hidden, because you did give everyone here access to your profile. Off topic: I'm a be thirsty and just say you're hot. Those midwestern gays be lucky to have you.

It's Donolds. He is hurting down-ballot republicans in the state in a year Trump isn't running. Maybe all Florida needed to become purple again was Cubans being deported to Africa and a non-trump candidate on the top of the ballot. 🙃

What is the mid off of this thread. Also Beyhive needs to stop defending this man. Yall know if he ever leaves Beyonce or vice versa, his ass is grass.

HE. IS. IN. TEXAS. Be realistic…… Trans people deserve rights, but the sports question is not black and white, and we need homeboy to win. There are enough black people he can lose by saying "let boys in girls sports." He has showed nonstop support for trans people.

The way the internet has us so divided, because those commenters thinking Doja is a nobody. Let me stay in my bubble.

What are the current streams since we bumped this after 4 years. I thought we were on ATRL classic 4 years ago so I'm just old at this point.

TLDR, unless they are sellouts, Black people aren't voting Republican because above everything else, they hate racist. And republicans have become the party of racism and money hoarders. Bigger issue is them just not voting.

As conservative as older black voters are, they aren't going Republican in mass. While older black Americans may sometimes align more with republicans in terms of value, they would never vote for a group that is outwardly outlandish against them. They will be the first ones to tell you about the party swaps, their fight to be recognized in the Democratic Party, etc., and will continue to be a part of the Dem party. This portion of the party is more interested in people "doing their time" and "proving themselves" in the party. It's why they went for Clinton until Obama proved himself. It's also why, online and in person, you saw some prejudice coming from that community over the past two years towards Hispanics and MEs, because the communities reaction became "why should we now care about your issues when you voted against your own issues/voted for someone without a possibility of winning. All this to say, the issue isn't them voting republican, it's them not voting at all. I actually don't see that happening in Texas because (anecdotal experience) the Methodist and Baptist churches here have already started preaching about our people dying to vote, so we need to get out and vote, and we need to volunteer to take the elderly to the polls. Talarico's black support will remain around the same I believe, and I think the Hispanic vote can get him over the edge. Can't tell you about the midwestern black American, but they won't vote Republican. It will more of be a "yall didn't support us two years ago, why should we support you now" issue and just convincing them to get out to vote. But black people always come home.

There is no way this song has had 17 weeks at #1. Have the charts been that week this year?

Let me go listen to this choosing Texas song because I have no clue what is sounds like.

Just fyi, anecdotal information from my family in Texas, but black people are now coming around to Jarmarcus Talarico. See what happens when you finally do the minimum. Texas coming into play! Down with Paxton!

**** it I'm bullish. We flipping Iowa and Florida too. 😎

I don't trust any polls that have Pete in top 3. If you remove those, they have been consistent.

Queen stanning a queen this week. I swear if she ever announces a performance I'm going broke. Litterally going to take a HELOC out on my house for it.
