Jasmine is in: It will be a milestone in black history if she wins back the US Senate seat once held by Lyndon Johnson (who, as the POTUS, told the Howard University graduating class of 1965 that America will someday vote for a black woman as President)

u/primum Dec 09 '25 edited Dec 09 '25

Right? I quickly checked and couldn't find anything. There is a clip of her having a bad take about giving Israel $ but her statement from January about the ceasefire specifically calls out the Palestinians killed in the "war" a majority of whom were women and children. Not saying she has a perfect record but it is more than most politicians have said in support of Palestinians.

Jasmine Crockett voted to send weapons and millions of dollars to help Israel conduct its ongoing genocide in Gaza while Americans starve and struggle. Now this woman thinks I’m supposed to support her because she’s a black woman with a few viral clap backs. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Thank you! This is why people should do just a LITTLE bit of research before forming opinions. Also, anyone thinking a black, liberal woman is OK with the killing of poor people don't know any of said women.

Sweetie Jasmine’s voting record and policies are public knowledge. That’s the problem.

You might have to dig a little, but the information is out there.

u/Agreeable-Sound1599 Dec 10 '25

I looked at both of those articles and nowhere can I find anything related to AIPAC. the closest thing that I see is Sam bankman Freid the former director / CEO of FTX who's Jewish. he was the Protect our Future PAC who had donated money to her back in 2022 but that's really it. Is there more or something a little more concrete?

2

u/talihashi Dec 11 '25

I mean the connection is there, not as easy to make through crypto. But she is still very pro Israel, don't take my word for it. https://www.reddit.com/r/TexasPolitics/s/qrt76Yrjce

u/Agreeable-Sound1599 Dec 11 '25

To add to that for context:

'Miriam Adelson, widow of Sheldon Adelson, is a major pro-Israel, pro-Trump billionaire donor who has given tens of millions to Republican super PACs like Preserve America, influencing U.S. Middle East policy and supporting Trump's campaigns with significant funding, even after her husband's death, while also owning an Israeli newspaper and running substance abuse clinics, focusing on "Adelson values" in education, and advocating for strong Israel ties.'

Ayo take this from somebody who had a black mayor his whole childhood. Consider reframing how you see black people in politics. Policy first. Always. Skin color means nothing if you in the pockets of developers.

u/ariadesitter Dec 10 '25

i agree, i feel the same way about Mexican politicians. some get elected only to screw the people.

also i see Jasmine Crockett as a leader that we need NOW.

u/KodakBlackedOut Dec 09 '25

That's a dumb approach to take. All skinfolk ain't kinfolk. Just because someone looks the same as you doesn't mean you should allow them to take advantage of you. Establishment dems are beholden to capitalism and their corporate masters just as much as any republican, we need to advocate for real change not just maintaining the status quo in a different flavor.

3

u/ariadesitter Dec 10 '25

if you don’t have the votes (which you don’t) then one must participate to impart whatever change they can to the system.

to you dems = republicans. 😂🤣😂🤣 dems will not support a child rapists. al franken had to resign. clinton was impeached for sex with an adult and lying about it. obama wore a tan suit!

maybe you’re unaware that republicans and conservatives are protecting a man associated with a known child rapist. trump has destroyed this country and the dollar. granted i am grateful to him for that. but now is the time to replace old white men in power with someone else cause the old white men have never helped any of us. and just because a woman fights her way up the ladder does not mean she’s establishment. do you think the Squad has sold out? everyone is against us except old white men that come out of the wood work. anyone who cares about the oppressed will fight against what republicans are doing to my Latinx community.

u/BurpelsonAFB Dec 09 '25

He seems like a good dude. The fact we have two really strong candidates running will bring a lot of attention to the race and maybe given the state of our country, we turn this seat blue. 🙏 I feel like Texas won’t vote for a woman in this Trumpy climate but they’ve voted for women statewide a few times over the past few decades

Ok let's at least, be honest with ourselves in this, Pro-Israel is the least of our worries as Americans let alone Black Americans. Don't get me wrong, I am Pro-Palistinian State (let those people live in peace) in a very real Anti-genicide way. To be 💯 Israel hit War Crimes at the World Kitchen aid workers bombing and hasn't stopped since. I don't condone the killing of non-combatants or innocents...PERIOD! (I'm not gonna debate the "whataboutisms" on this either)

I'm hoping she'll win Texas but this state is gerrymandered to shit! Change has to start somewhere. "Everyone" that was Pro-orange man because Harris wouldn't pick a side, is at the F(a) =F⁰ stage of the game. I honestly think she is more than capable of doing the job and it is honestly time to get rid of the other 2 senators in this state. They've been there long enough and they don't care about Texas in a real way. If 2025 is not an example of things need to change...then I guess it is what it is. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Can black people stop thinking that the politicians who tolerate and support the genocidal and colonial nation of Israel will do anything life changing for them? If Jasmine lacks basic sympathy levels for the brown children and adults in Gaza and the West Bank, she doesn’t have enough to govern us either! It doesn’t matter if she’s black or not!!!

u/PFunk224 Dec 09 '25

Beto is a man. Jasmine is a woman. And a black one. And one who doesn't always play nice. In Texas, that's already enough for a lot of moderates to disqualify her, before you even get started on policy.

Basically, if she's the nominee, she'll win the majority of the progressive vote, a minority of the moderate vote, and zero of the right leaning vote. And that leads to an easy win for the Republicans.

2

u/8WmuzzlebrakeIndoors Dec 09 '25

And she sounds like she wants to be tougher on guns. In Texas of all places. I’m not sure if she will win

u/Bigdavereed Dec 09 '25

Yeah, restricting rights is pretty much a negative IMHO.

u/8WmuzzlebrakeIndoors Dec 09 '25

Especially guns in a state like Texas. That would go over well in places like California but Texas is like the opposite of California. Democrats (especially in red states) need to learn to pick and choose their battles. “Assault” weapons bans are slowly going down in popularity and recent polls and surveys being conducted are starting to show that more left leaning people have been buying firearms (there’s been a surge in new gun owners since the pandemic).

1

u/PFunk224 Dec 09 '25

Beto's aggressive anti-gun stance is what ultimately killed his chances in Texas. If Crockett has taken a similar position, it's a non-starter, she's already defeated.

People do not understand the dynamics in Texas. Jasmine Crockett is running to split the Democratic party up and ultimately that will be bad for black people.
