  • So here’s where I believe you’re being disingenuous.

    1. You point out Beto’s run and his stance on gun control on a national stage. So I find that very disingenuous since we’re not talking a national stage where you’ll need to run in Texas, we’re talking safe Blue states and safe blue areas where yeah, do nothing on gun control Democrats can GTFO and still be a safe seat. Blue no matter who right? We shouldn’t have to wait until they decide to die or indicted to get someone effective and willing to be a actual voice in there.

    2. Hogg’s personal view may very well be fuck all the guns, he’s tweeted as a traumatized by gun violence some anti-2A sentiment, but show me proof he’s all about taking away guns without due process, he’s certainly been behind assault style gun bans to be sure but show me where he’s officially supported Trumps stance. And again, we’re talking about blue states and blue seat. If their candidate can’t survive being scrutinized by their gun control stances, which of course the internet never forgets and they lose, in a blue seat, so be it. Again, you’ve got no proof that these candidates his group are backing are anti-gun extremists and again in a democracy, let them make their case in front of the voters. And again, for the record, saying he’d be right there behind Trump on this is very disingenuous.

    And on a personal note, as a self identified more progressive person who happens to own guns and open carries, If I lived in a blue state, in a solidly blue seat, I’d welcome a voice for gun control since we currently have absolutely none of while the other side has extreme voices of no gun control on the other side and having a few people who would actually say, “No, fuck you, we’re going to talk about gun control after a mass shooting because it’s the fucking time to talk about it” would be a welcome voice against the do nothing moderates and I’d take that progressive who will champion other progressive ideals over that shitty do nothing moderate any day. Move that fucking Overton window because it’s gotten to Nazis are okay levels now.
