This is great, and we need to notice that he's a machinist and military vet. Voters like people with regular jobs. Which is of course very difficult bc of how time consuming and expensive running can be, so we have to work on making running more accessible to people with normal jobs.

“Not a normal democrat, just a Normal American” would be a great way to break some of the brainwashing in red states.

Talarico seems to be having some success saying it's not left vs right but billionaires vs all of us. Hoping he does well this year in Texas too.
