Is it a problem that Beto was part of a hacktivist group?

Not sure what you mean by 'made up the name'.
No...no issue for me in this case. It's akin to being part of a trade union. Some are benign, some break laws (technically) but aren't dangerous, while others might border on terrorism or hardcore criminality.
Can't find too much about CDC that suggests they fell into the latter grouping.

Am I the only one who has no idea what @whirlingmerc is talking about?

Just google Beto O'Rourke hactivist, if you are really that interested. I do not think he or his group participated in much that people would find that offensive.

I think it's a case of Trump supporters trying to find dirt on his potential opponents and are grasping at straws. They lack the self-awaress to see the irony in this.

Hacking is not lawful. Wasn't Russian hacking associated to all types of evil? The Democrats will not care, since lawlessness is what they do, and hypocrisy is their middle name. However, this may impact the Independent vote.
He also has Democrat opponents, who vie for the 2020 prize.
Not over this. It depends on what he stands for.

What? Me worry?
So you're saying it really doesn't matter what the guy has done in the past as long as you agree with him?

I didn't say that. All I'm saying is that this particular allegation doesn't really seem like an automatic dealbreaker.
Do you not see that is what Donny's people have totally done? And he's a million times worse than Beto. I suppose you don't.

You may be right...oh, wait....Trump has never had a DWI or burglary arrest. As a matter of fact, Trump has never had an arrest. But, hey, let's not get caught up in facts...

The name? No. More so I do not think he was any sort of hacker. It seems more like someone that used a computer for activism before social media of FB and twitter. IRC and BBCs.
Facts can be such a problem.
People seize upon them as the reason to support whatever choice they've already
made. Think that people vote against Trump because he's a hoo hah grabber?
This is what matters most in their political philosophy? Nah.
It's just a fact to which they give great importance because it feels justifying.
About Beto....people will care about his having been a hacker if it helps how
they already feel.
Facts which matter....
Before looking at any candidate, consider what matters most to you.
Which policies do you oppose, & which do you want effected?
Only then consider the candidates, & what they'd likely do in office.
And stay true to what was important before you like or hate them.

A life-long con-artist is much more respectable =)
It's hard to convict a crime boss but when it comes to those he hires, the prisons are filling up with them. 2+2=4
I never called you that.
Who said I did?
