“I've said before, and I will keep saying that real men serve others; weak men serve themselves,” the Texas Democrat said.

Texas Democrat and U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico fired back at his opponent, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Friday after the two Republicans echoed MAGA insults about his masculinity.

“I’ve said before, and I will keep saying that real men serve others; weak men serve themselves,” Talarico told MS NOW’s “The Briefing” host Jen Psaki. “And so I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don’t think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.”

    Talarico is nothing special and I don’t believe in voting, but the opportunity to end Paxton’s career is too great to pass up. Seeing him lose is worth showing up to the polls for.

        I’ve voted for 25 years and seeing where that’s gotten us makes me feel the same way. If this shit happens regardless my mental health would benefit from not even fucking trying.

          That’s weird to me. Giving up is the mental health killer for me. Even if what I do won’t work, I need to do something. It’s the same reason I try to live more sustainably even though I know I’m just one person.

        Stay on your high horse, looking down on everyone. I said I was going to vote and now you’re discouraging me? You must really want me to vote and see Talarico win. Or are you a Ken Paxton fan?
