    You know, something like 70% of the country is Christian. I have plenty of reasons to dislike and distrust organized religion, but you have to recognize that there are progressive Christians who don’t use their faith to oppress people. There are some Christians who take the “love one another” thing seriously and don’t suck.

      Sure, but you can’t blame someone for assuming the worst until otherwise demonstrated. Most Christians are hypocritical shitheads, it’s safest to lead with that.

        Yeah, that’s fair. But I think it’s also fair to say that Talarico has quite publicly demonstrated that he isn’t one of those shitheads.

          He does seems to be a rare example of the proper type of Christian, who seems to truly respect Christian values, rather than just use them as a rationalization for his atrocities. Given his opponent, he’s an easy choice.

                Yep, same here. It’s the curse of being a leftist in a swing state. I vote Dem for harm reduction, even though they’re far from what I’d actually like to be voting for.
