Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Beto O'Rourke's voting record is more conservative than the average Democrat's [View all]Lazy Daisy
(928 posts)Did you read my comment? Again, this OP is in response to other threads saying it's Bernie supporters saying Beto is conservative so it's not true. It is true, he's not as progressive as many of our top candidates. It's not a "purity" thing, it's a what POLICIES do you support and what candidates support those same POLICIES.
All across the country progressive policies are catching fire, even in red states people are tuning in to healthcare, wages, education. Look at all the teacher strikes in red states that are being supported BY Republican voters. People have had enough. Republican lies are being held to the light.
Having a candidate who doesn't excite people with policy that will improve their lives won't get us a win. People who don't know if tomorrow is going to just suck or will it REALLY suck don't want to hear "I'm a person who can reach across the aisle". They want to know what is going to be done to make tomorrow not suck.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
