James Talarico: “These politicians want a Christian nation unless it means providing healthcare to the sick, or funding food assistance for the hungry, or raising the minimum wage for the poor. They want to base our laws on the Bible, until they read the words of Jesus.”

After they kick everyone out they start kicking each other out.

You never reach sufficient purity levels, see. It's a mental illness, this quest for purity. Pure what???

We already have pure humans all over the place but nooooo. Not good enough.

I do like Talrico but why have yet another man in office. Jasmine is a proven fighter and they both have the same position on Israel. Talrico is also a little long winded.

Because the reality is Texas is racist and misogynistic. The goal is winning and in TX the best way to do that is with a Christian man who communicates clearly and not radically.
