How is a Talarico not a win for leftists? That would imply that Paxton is an equally good or better option for leftists.
Even if Talarico comes in and passes one liberal policy or even none, that is still an improvement over Paxton. Do you think that as a senator that Talarico wouldn’t vote with the Democratic party on most if not all policies? Having a dog voted in as senator would be a win to the left because it would mean it’s not Paxton.
It takes some real mental gymnastics to come to the conclusion that he’s not a win for the left.

Do you think that as a senator that Talarico wouldn’t vote with the Democratic party on most if not all policies? What policies, destroying the Middle East? Oh let me guess, that started with Trump. You mean the policies like giving American money to Nazi soldiers in Ukraine? Because yes I do believe that he would, and that’s my point, the Dems in my state use both of those as positive policies. That’s why I can’t vote blue no matter who out of principle. I’m sorry I like to hold politicians to standards. But again, I don’t believe in a blue Texas or blue Florida y’all would have much better luck holding politicians to lefty standards up here in the Midwest.
