I think their point is that a leftist candidate would never win in Texas, so Talarico is preferable to Paxton even though his politics aren’t ideal. Perfect is the enemy of good, and will simply slide us into a worse and worse situation. We need to make incremental improvements and organize on the local level, because the revolution isn’t happening tomorrow.
I generally agree, regardless of which neoliberal party wins, the capitalist class benefits. However, I think placing both parties on the same playing field there is irresponsible. There is a reason all of the billionaire Epstein class is trying really, really hard to maintain Republican control. I prefer the better of two bad options over accelerationism.
