    Fascists love it when leftists act like intolerant jackasses or throw purity politics into things.

      Everyone should vote for him in the general. I’m looking for some cinstructive discussion on how to make that happen when he appears as the blue tie version of the white christofascism parasitizing the federal government.

        His message actively subverts the maga nationalist monopoly on the christian narrative.

        He calls them out for what they are (hypocrites) and promotes a more genuine reading of scripture (in which Jesus was a woke socialist agitator with empathy for the marginalized and disenfranchised).

        You’re not going to win back the christian vote (a significant bloc) from the far-right if you’re promoting this “christians can’t be leftist” narrative. That plays right into the far-right’s hands.

        Also, he refuses AIPAC money so don’t call him a fucking zionist.

        He’s literally one of the best things that could happen in Texas politics.

          This guy gets it. Also, many liberals are religious and some leftists are. Playing the edgy atheist stereotype only empowers the godless false pharasee evangelicals.

        You aren’t looking for constructive fuck communicating the way you are, you’re looking for a fight.
