      I’ve already voted for Beto multiple times. On the political scale the man was luke warm and because of ego and funding, we got jack shit. Give me the most milquetoast dem candidate possible so I can actually have a chance here. Beto fucked up one interview. Just one. And we are still recovering. I’ll take the most basic ass bitch dem over “revolutionary” any day of the week in regards to Texas politics. Because the boring one may actually have a chance. This is not a paradigm changing situation. Hell I’d take newsom over here in Texas. And I fucking hate that guy.

        Beto was never viable (anti-guns, doesn’t know how to talk about religion). I also found him repulsively fake.

        Talerico is an authentic, sincere left wing Christian. He’s a threat to the entire Republican order. If he says he’s not progressive it’s to distance himself from pronoun weirdos.

        • I also found him repulsively fake.

          But this one person I know said he thinks he’d like to have a beer with beto. I didn’t realize that was something people really considered when choosing who to support - I thought it was metaphorical.

          If he says he’s not progressive it’s to distance himself from pronoun weirdos.

          Am I a pronoun weirdo?

            Average reactions to Beto were closer to mine. He lost fairly badly. Like I said, his anti-gun stance was too strong. Analogously, veganism is morally superior to carnivory, but a vegan isn’t going to win Texas.

            The world is on fire. Human civilization is ending. I could not care less about culture war crap.
