Well, it depends eynon. While I fully understand the problem of money in politics, I know I have the same basic mental hardware as most other Americans and that no amount of campaign ads can buy my support for something I don't believe in, so it's really the disengaged public who ultimately are responsible for these shitty results out of the Democratic process.

As for leadership, I don't think a far-left agenda is something that people really want to follow. Obama (as a candidate) might have been the most leftist viable leader that people got behind in recent times, and he moved way to the right/center upon taking office, which very few people seemed to care about.

To be quite frank, I think that middle-aged white guys have always been the most tolerable political advocacy group in this country to the establishment, regardless of what they were demanding. When a sizable number of them were the labor movement, they got results. But when the social revolution happened, they found themselves at odds with the left and things have never been the same since.

Since then, the left has walked this tight rope: They can't win with middle-aged white guys so instead it's a coalition of youngs, minorities, and women. But since this cedes middle age white guys to the right, everyone must be very careful, cause any hint of extremism will be very threatening to the powers that be.

So a few generations of that and you get SJWs. They're poorly educated in activism because they had very few effective examples to look to in recent generations. They're shit at building coalitions because they were raised in identity politics rather than serious issues. And they have distorted ideas about progress because they want to be extremists but have been sheltered from what that actually is. Of course they hate guns - guns are for the other side. They may have missed out on a lot of things, but tribalism isn't one of them.
go ahead. keep screaming "Shut The f**k Up " at me. it only makes my opinions Worse

socially we have moved to the left continuously. while republicans may chip away at things they can't undo LBJs great society or even obamacare at this point. each time such thing is created it's impossible to return, even if it is better. so even if republicans come into power it merely slows the march to serfdom

As I said...

It's funny how originally, back when, your tack was well, you're just a liberal kitty non-gun owner so WTF do you know?

But when it turned out I am a gun owner you pivot to well "You just BRAG about it." Try to have it both ways much?

LMFAO.

You're just trying to "win" this which is why you stoop to the level of quoting bottom-feeders for your argument.

Tell me again: ok, I have my gun and I'm ready to defend liberty. Where am I going again? Who am I shooting? Because last I heard, it's federal troops--i.e., the U.S. military--when they invade America to impose tyranny. Should I just wait for that? Or do you have a more current target?

Organize for what? If you think you are going to take on the government with the Sig you keep in the top corner of your closet, you should just save everyone the hassle and shoot yourself now.
