Your washing machine doesn't have a V8?

Why do you have to jump right to the extreme? If you're looking for useful discourse, immediately shutting down what you seem to agree would be a good idea isn't helpful. I know plenty of gun nuts that would absolutely drop the hate of the Republicans if they knew their hobby was secured. It's easy to do simply because NOBODY IS ACTUALLY GOING TO COME FOR ANYBODY'S GUNS. Who's going to do it, cops? The guys that love guns? The military? It's just a lack of critical thinking and a little bit of reassurance might go a long way.

Did I disagree with any of what you said anywhere? That's working with the party. I'm looking for a plan from anybody saying to split the party. Those are good ideas that I agree with and have been pushing my state reps for.

Your solution please? I'm not holding anyone without one that wants to chirp in very high regard.

Laying off the gun issue doesn't have to be a move to the right, plenty of leftists own guns. I'm just saying they should clearly state that they aren't coming for anyone's guns

So you don't have a solution, have only an imagined dog in the race, and like name calling. You sound like a typical American too.

Your final little retort there mocking me is the most childish thing I've read on the internet in a little bit. You can compare a mountain to a molehill if you like but I think we have bigger problems to worry about.

What solution do you propose to not working with the Democrats right now? Splitting the party and forming a progressive party hoping for scraps from the right that just want guns AND weed and don't care about trans folks? What's your plan besides being angry at Corporate Democrats? Have you donated to any of our more progressive Representatives?

I've always said if Democrats just shut the fuck up about guns or God forbid even walk back a teensy but, they would have no problem winning. Plenty of single issue voters vote red because of successful propaganda. How the hell anybody thinks anyone is coming for their buns is beyond me, I always ask for an explanation of who and how their guns will be taken from them. Never a coherent answer.

 

Am I missing something? Yesterday there was a visible vote count next to each comments username. Today there is nothing. Maybe a setting I accidentally changed? I can't for the life of me figure it out.
