But I was not happy about it. Allred is so worried about making a wrong move, he doesn't move at all. If he wins the primary, I'll vote for him in the general, but I still won't like it.

James Talarico isn't afraid to take a stand for gun control or against the war on Gaza. And he doesn't call the assault on trans people a "distraction". He calls it wrong.
