  • I don’t see the solution in mass uprising in America, sadly. The ownership class has done such a thorough and successful job of dividing the working class, not even just left and right, but the people with a small vacation home and a boat thinking they’re any closer to billionaires than I am working paycheck to paycheck. That false superiority and financial contentment will keep them from getting uncomfortable enough to join a movement, and keep stumping for the status quo that got them there. The rest of us, the bottom of the working class, are so split along ideological lines that I don’t think we could ever cooperate. I certainly know that I would have to swallow bile to stand next to a MAGA that wanted to strip my wife of her rights.




  • 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.









  • 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?
