    FUCK

    its like he’s trying to lose

    this is not going to get anyone excited about voting for him, but it will galvanize the opposition and push swing voters into staying home on election day at the very least

      He IS trying to lose.

      The Democrats don’t WANT to defeat the Republicans because they NEED their favorite excuse in order to get away with the fuckery they like to pull all the time, all their insider trading and industrial kickbacks especially. Whenever you criticize them, they point at the GOP and say “oh so you’d rather THEM?”

      Ironically, electing Democrats fucks up their plans.

      I don’t think there’s a lot of people on the left that are huge AR-15 fans. We’d be fine without it.

        I think you’d be more wrong than you think. As they say, “If you go far enough left you get your guns back.”

        Not to mention moderates of both parties who are gun owners in suburban and rural areas of many of the battleground states he so desperately needs.

          As someone outside the US this circular debate about US citizens needing guns, because constitution is crazy. We’re over halfway through the year and the US is on track to break annual records, for gun deaths. Yet nothing happens because guns are constitutionality protected. It’s just crazy to an outsider to see absolutely nothing happen as a result. Boom more dead children, thoughts, nothing, boom more dead people. But if only we could do something, boom, more dead children, sigh, yeah but it’s the law. We must protect ourselves from bears. Boom more dead people. Silence.

            Have you seen how we treat driving in this country? Guns aren’t the problem, a culture of callous disregard for other humans is, and we’re not going to fix that by trying to take guns away.

        While you may be left of fascists, you’re not left. The left is unabashedly pro 2A.

          Well, if the what you call the “left” makes all-encompassing blanket statements, then no- I’m not left. I’m a liberal though- and I don’t know anyone that thinks AR-15s are necessary to anyone.
