So here’s where I believe you’re being disingenuous.
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.
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.
From newsweek
The tax exemption for overtime pay, if enacted, would only apply to income taxes, and not payroll taxes, and would be subject to income restrictions. A work-eligible Social Security number would be required to claim the deduction.
So I’m very interest to see what the “restrictions” are.
His plan was to run progressives, progressives that value and are willing to talk about and advance for gun control, which again correct me if I’m wrong, something that Democrats I thought was also for, in those gerrymandered Democratic safe areas so are you implying that Democrats wouldn’t vote for a progressive?
My cynical take.
If we are to take this at face value that the complaint was filled in February, then I believe they were not taking it seriously until after Hogg’s move.
It should not take two and a half months to decide to address flaws in an election unless the organization is completely dysfunctional.
So basically, Red talker states are fucked.
Shame to not see some good come from this.
Did you ever get a copy?
And I have absolutely no faith that Democrats will hold strong and not capitulate, sorry, I mean find “bipartisanship”.
Yeah and that’s all thanks to John Roberts, that asshole judge.
It’s really disgusting how these self proclaimed Christians are so eager to discard the needy to give to the ultra wealthy.
There are still American out there are trying to fight to help disabled Americans like you and everyone else to be able to live a dignified life.
Hang in there.
Whole this is utterly stupid and theocratic as fuck, can I just say that picture that goes to this article just screams “and I’m exaggerating”.
Well it’s Republicans so like the myth of turkeys in the rain.
Because Republicans always think they’re are just on the cusp of becoming a millionaire.
I think his ego will last a month before everyone calling him a wuss gets to him.
I heard Jefferies is staging a sit-in on May 25th as to not inconvenience anyone and calling for bipartisanship to fight this bill.
Have you been living under a MAGA rock?
We were at 145% tariffs there thanks to President moron.
From what I can tell they recently got a few negatives that put them into “mixed” briefly because players were critical about QoL features, difficulty and whatnot, seemingly pretty valid types of reviews.
Oh for fucks sake…
Okay, let’s get this right out of the way, congrats on pointing out this article was him running for governor in Texas, the bluest of states.
Texas, not a blue state.
Governor, not a safe seat or any seat at all.
Senate, not a safe blue seat.
Now show me where Hogg is planning on running a progressive, anti-2A extremist in Texas or any other red states with a non-safe blue seat.
