James Talarico for President

[Failzero]

I wish he would go ahead and saying he is running for president. I can't see the title of losing in the senate as giving credibility to run for president.

lol at a Texas loser runnin for POTUS ( like Beto )

Key Political Positions

• Opposition to Christian Nationalism: He is a vocal critic of Christian nationalism, calling it "a cancer on our religion" and "idolatrous". He strongly opposes policies like mandating the Ten Commandments in public schools.
• Healthcare: Driven by his own diagnosis with Type 1 diabetes, he successfully passed legislation capping insulin copays at $25 a month in Texas. He supports expanding Medicaid and making healthcare a human right.
• Education: As a former teacher, he advocates for increased public school funding and opposes school vouchers, which he views as defunding public education.
• Immigration: He supports a "secure border" combined with a pathway to citizenship. He often uses the metaphor that the southern border should be treated like a "front porch" with a "welcome mat" but also a "lock on the door".
• Gun Control: Following mass shootings in Texas, he has been a prominent voice for stricter gun control laws, arguing that "thoughts and prayers" without action are "cynical".
• Democracy Reform: He supports automatic voter registration, repealing voter ID laws, and imposing term limits on members of Congress.
• Foreign Policy: Talarico supports a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine, opposes offensive U.S. aid to Israel, and has called for an end to conflicts through negotiations.

I agree with one, and seven, the rest I disagree with him on. Probably not a good choice for me.
