    When will the democrats drop gun control from their platform given recent history?

      ~50% of an armed populace will fight for an oppressive regime. It’s not an effective way to deter governmental takeover.

      Maybe pass electoral reform in your state so we can be free to vote for who best represents us without a spoiler effect.

      Yes, if we just keep awarding their willful ineptitude with blind loyalty and unquestioning obedience for a couple more decades, they’re SURE to move the bar higher than “mostly not quite as awful as the alternative” of their own volition!

      You’re not in the neolib safe space so; no, voting dem without ever holding them accountable in over a hundred years on literally anything has caused this situation. Harris would have given you four more years, at most, in the most optimistic circumstances, before this happened. America can’t end any other way than this, and America is approaching it’s end regardless of what you do.

          If you’re not in the US, then learn. Don’t have a choice that is only between two fascist parties.
