[quote=Anonymous]I have a really good friend who lives near Dallas. He's pretty liberal, Mexican American, values things like education, healthcare, diversity. He and his wife both have master's degrees, and their child has special needs so he benefits from government programs so I know he's not totally against people receiving government assistance. He's not religious. Adamantly pro choice, pro women's rights. He's not opposed to reasonable gun control, especially after Uvalde. The things he says he cares about and the way he lives his life make him seem progressive in my mind, but he always votes libertarian when possible, republican when not.

I asked why he refuses to consider Beto for anything, and he says he has family members who know him and they basically hate him. I don't know if its his politics or personality they hate, and I'm not even sure if my friend knows. He trusts his family, and when they say they'd rather not vote than vote for Beto, he follows suit.

I don't get it. Conservatives voting against the things they want is starting to remind me of diabetics eating cake then crying that they're going to lose a toe, or someone taking off their oxygen mask to smoke and complaining about their pain between coughing fits. [/quote]
