His stance on gun control doesn’t really agree with mine these days either, but there’s a reason for it: he is a survivor of the Parkland school shooting, and he was there as a student. That was an absolutely formative event for him, and I respect that he was able to turn that commitment to a single cause into political capital and drive. And I do think that he’s a damn sight more progressive than the vast majority of Democratic politicians in the country, despite my disagreement with him on many aspects of firearms ownership.
Yes I’m familiar with his background. However no matter how he came to those ideals they’re not appealing to me at all. Yet that seems to be the only defining feature of him. Is he even a progressive? I literally can’t tell. Like I said all I get from him is vague rhetoric about winning, but what he wants to do with that winning is what concerns me. Plus he described himself as an entrepreneur and that’s just immediately suspicious to me.

Want to primary useless centrists? Welp, guess we suddenly like school shootings.
