So just give up on anything in Texas, Florida, Missouri, etc for the next 20 years because we're too pure to work with people with whom we disagree on other issues?

*raises eyebrow as someone who lives in texas* you seriously think people like THAT would somehow be beneficial to Texas?
We aren't collaborationists like you Brennan, sorry
I guess that's your answer - nothing happens in Texas, you give no one a reason to vote for anyone other than Republicans, and you lose the electoral college for the next 50 years. Normalize practicing coalitional politics.
There are some things that you can't just look over. Path to hell is full of your good intentions mate.
If the only way you can think of to build more housing is create a Christian nationalist whites-only apartheid state then you don't actually care about building more housing
Yes, that's exactly what's happening in Texas, a famously almost only white state. No people of color here! Especially none who would benefit from having more housing available and rents coming down.
Which is why your argument that you have to support mass deportations and concentration camps in order to build housing means you don't actually care about building housing
Now you're just lying about what I've said. *You don't have to sign up for a whole agenda to work on a small set of issues together.* We just won some big reforms to build housing in Texas, working with people I agree with maybe 10-20% of the time.
Without liberal/progressives like me, not enough Dems don't get on board and a split Republican caucus doesn't pass reform. Without folks like Lehman (not him specifically, but some fellow travelers) *nothing* gets done in Texas.
"Deportation Abundance" is an unpopular agenda even in Texas. If you choose to ally with it you are hurting your cause for more housing, not helping it.
