    He survived a school shooting. I think he has good reasons for wanting gun control. Although personally I agree that citizens need to be armed against our fascist state.

      Most people are for gun control, branding yourself as anti 2A doesn’t really inspire hope that he can cross the aisle. It doesn’t have to be a toxic issue but it’s delicate. After checking the wiki he seems like he’s got some qualification. Left some room to be desired but I’ll judge the man by his work.

        I don’t want people who will cross the aisle. I want people who will treat the fascists like the existential threat they are.

            I agree everyone on the left should be working together, but that’s not what “crossing the aisle” means.
