I really want to like him, I do align with some of his platform... but he's wades into the Kovid-Kook conspiracy waters too much for me. His website has a covid section (for some odd reason) and it reeks of closeted conspiracy theorist.

That’s how they bring you in. Make a obvious good point then stretch them to illogical conclusions.

He doesn't appear to understand consent and how kids can't give it.

> I gave $ to my son: legal. Asked him to support my campaign: legal. My wife and I gave our own $: legal. All within legal limits. All so they'd let me debate. My wife's biz is sole proprietorship, not Corp, meaning, it's our $, not a corp. Meanwhile Balint gets $1.7MM from lobby.

His son was born in 2019.

Update: He's now stating this story, based on public comments he made, is a "farce of a story about my so-called campaign finance violations." Which in the very first tweet in the thread he also admits were "inadvertent." Well if the violations were inadvertent, they wouldn't be "so-called"? States there's nothing saying a 3 year old can't consent to give money to a campaign, and think that's a solid defense. The story is so baseless in fact, that he felt the need to draft a letter to the FEC stating just how baseless the accusations are while also including in the letter that Balint got PAC money like the FEC will give a shit?? This man won a major party nomination for a seat in Congress. Oh and he's also bickering with people criticizing him on Twitter. You really can't make this up.

Not to mention that the agreeable parts of his platform like rank-choice voting are either promises that are very easy for him to renege on or they are stuff that he will never get a majority of Congress to agree on.
