Excuse me but I moved left to get away from religious faith

This is not an opportunity. It is a trap. The GOP has moved the Overton Window by becoming so extreme, they pull the Democratic Party to the "center" and it just becomes the Republican Party before they decided to be openly extremist. Killing the Democratic Party indirectly.

They act like they have a hard time supporting Paxton, but it’s performative. They will support him with no difficulty at all.

great opportunity to just lose all the god bullshit

Morality and ethics are very closely intertwined. So some will promote morality (Talarico, Buttigeg) and some will promote ethics (AOC, Murphy, Walz).

Lol no. I have no interests in sharing a party with that bunch of morally bankrupt assholes.

I don't care what that party becomes at this point. They are complicit in the fascist takeover of our country. They are talking about confirming Trump's DNI pick! Fuck them.

It’s wonderful to be a person of faith wanting to use your talents to change people’s lives & help them through governance. The focus is on helping the people, not demanding religious obedience for due help. Government is not church. Politicians are servants not gods.

No, more like the party of mind your own damn business.

Put down the barbecue, Talarico. Eating meat doesn’t make you a man.

Best use of religion.

Republicans have nothing in common with the Jesus of the Bible. They are far more aligned with the views and acts of Caligula than Jesus.

Uh, can we not please

Ken Paxton is the most obvious example of acting like his god . No one can compare on the nasty scale with the pedo prez, but Mr. Paxton is damn close.

We have had many men of different faiths in office of the president . Faith may guide them but the constitution is what they believed in . GOP want to rewrite the constitution . They do not want to follow it . That's the difference .

How about democrats become the party of separation of church and state

It's not enough to say "we're the decent guys". You must deliver.

I hate the fact that faith or religion would play any part in politics. I want to vote for someone I don’t know how they worship or if they do at all. That would be the best case for everyone.

Why not focus on competent government? Seems like there's not much competition for that. Religion is a pretty crowded field.

Please no. Religion - faith - needs to stay OUT of it completely. Can we have sanity please? I don’t care what faith anyone follows. It just needs to stay out of politics.

I fuckin hope not.

Christian nationalism isn’t faith. It’s a political movement wrapped in religion to gain power. Faith is measured by humility, compassion, honesty, and service—not loyalty to a politician. Democrats shouldn’t be afraid to champion the values many faiths actually preach.

Democrats have been showing more Christian virtue than republicans for a while now.

Faith has always been important to a segment of the Democratic Party despite the lies about us from the right. But we do not need a “party of faith”. Please. Just no.

I know and have known many Democrat Christians. They are different from Republican Christians in that they actually try to feed the poor, heal the sick and house the homeless not bankrupt and asset strip the nation. That the DNC is sold out to AIPAC ect is a crime in itself IMHO.

It is not Talarico's religion that I like. And one religious candidate doesn't define all of us. However, if you are going to claim a religion it behooves you to actually practice what you preach, least you become a hypocrite. So far Talarico seems to follow the teachings of Jesus.

Evangelical Christians are a poison in this country. We never need to hear from them again.

Wishing isn't a valid strategy

We need a party of facts

The question should be, who actually practices what the preach???
