Nice whataboutism. You also didnt deny what i said that u care as much about ur rights to guns than actual ppl. Ill doulbe down, your moral priorities are trash n ive lost a ton of respect for you today im afraid. Enjoy your guns weirdo

You’ve said many times in here that I’m trash, indirectly. I’ve seen the veiled bullshit you’ve continuously said about all right of center people. It’s not hard to lose respect from extremists.

And yeah, I think my rights are as important as others rights. There shouldn’t be a hierarchy on rights.

That being said, I told Blaze I’d vote for gay rights if I had to over Gun rights so enjoy being blinded.

This is what I get for trying to be helpful.

I didn’t think it would be controversial to say if the TX Democrats could find a candidate willing to stand with the most popular position of his constituents, he’d stand a larger chance taking the jobs from the more hateful minority holding power there.

My bad.

No I said this part was true, I'm still thrown off by Beto being deemed extreme and I've just accepted that I am too and our country is fucked if so lol

I’d be willing to go one further… if the left abandoned the gun control policy altogether, I think the GOP would lose the vast majority of its power. And would potentially die in the next decade or two. It would be forced to rely solely on the religious right and since that’s their losing side, it would shrink and shrink.

Like I said, I’m not sure that was the issue. I think what made most of us question it was you saying it’s to extreme for you, not Texas. I think honestly it’s probably best not to bring up guns at all in Texas if you aren’t fully 100% for them.

I don’t know his other stances, lmao.

If he loses the gun stance, he might not be too extreme. You’d have to tell me his other policies. But, he won’t win in Texas if that’s one of his policies, though.

Also if Texas wasn't gerrymandered to shit, it'd have been blue lol I think you're really overrating how red the general population is when cities are so wonderfully gay and liberal rn, just fucked with districts

Same. District 1 of Minnesota flip flops all the time for a mostly rural region

I was made to talk about that after I was already getting pushback on that Texas stance.

I’d have to see a bill being drawn up by Abbott, but I don’t believe there’s an actual attempt to ban gay marriage right now so I personally wouldn’t vote for Beto currently with his stance, but I don’t live in Texas so his state level bans don’t effect me.

Gerrymandering doesn’t affect state level elections like Governor and Senate that’s still red af.

That’s more Texas house, and yeah, that would be more blue for sure, of course.

It's not gay marriage so I guess not as important
