    I've always believed this from their stance on gun control, as far back as I've been even remotely politically aware.

    "Hey, white militias prepping for race war have all the guns. You know what we should do, make sure nobody else can buy them--that'll show the racists!" --It just makes absolutely no logical sense

    It's actually complete fucking trash that anyone trusts the dems, especially POC. They're dangerous and evil, MORESO than the right wing (because with the right you know what you're dealing with).

    Democrats have always been a fifth column. The entire base is foolish but well-meaning people who've been hoodwinked into support because they just haven't done enough research

      The 60s bought a lot of Dem goodwill among black voters, that's why there's such a stark generational divide among black voters. It's gotten so bad that young black voters are actually more likely to support Trump than older black voters. That's just such a massive fuck up from Dems. They haven't done a thing for anyone except wealthy suburbanites.

      I'm sure this strategy is aimed at not eating into Biden's gains with white suburban voters, but it's such a massive liability. Republicans can run ads saying 'Dems don't care about reproductive rights, so why vote?' and if Dems criticize the psycho Catholic lady they can run ads saying 'Dems are the real sexists'.

      Dems are far more afraid of the latter, or at least that's their justification for not fighting. I don't think they care. If you're rich you can always get an abortion.

        Funny too because up until very recently the DNC's long-term strategy was to rely on young people, hispanic voters, and black voters to lead them to victory. They've now alienated each of these groups in different ways all in pursuit of a demographic that is only shrinking and waning in influence. And no, the strategy of "well who else are they gonna vote for" won't work, either.

      [Insert Marx quote about surrendering guns here]

      The only argument to ever be made in favor of gun control would be in an actual existing communist country, and even then it would be after having dealt with all the reactionary elements.
