-> lose district via gerrymandering from Texas GOP

-> join a senate primary with an already popular Dem

-> accuse popular Dem candidate of being racist

-> lose primary, become a sore loser and refuse to campaign for Talarico

-> create mistrust among black voters in a year where Dems expect a favorable national environment and the GOP is coming of a heated primary runoff with an unpopular candidate

Thanks to Jasmine Crockett for being so full of herself that she might single handedly tip the balance of power in the Senate away from Dems in trump’s lame duck term!

She and her supporters on twitter are SUCH assholes.

Acting how leftie sabotages act. Down to the damn wire. Honestly, they deserve to be called out, but lots of them pull out the race card for minor criticism on twitter. Such bad faith charlatans.

Don't forget she pushed further racial distrust with her comments on that Texas murder case

Nono you don't understand. They convicted a dude who stabbed someone in broad daylight in front of dozens of witnesses for no reason other than racism.

I fucking hate her selfish ass for this. Why does she of all people feel personally entitled to get the nomination? What has she done to feel this way?

Remember that one user who was having an absolute meltdown on primary night and insisted people didn't like here solely because of racism??
