They’ll need it for the civil war

Or...this is just another cynical ploy to appeal to the right, since they seem incapable of moving left on any subject.

It's because it's not the issue, nor should time be wasted on that right now. We can argue policy later. We need to unite and get the traitor out of office

[–] Archangel1313@lemm.ee -1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

That's literally the only garbage the Democrats have been running on for almost a decade now. "Don't think about policy...just focus on getting the bad guy out of office." If that's such a great strategy, then why do things keep getting worse?

Maybe if we actually deal with the underlying policy problems, we wouldn't have the issue of fascism taking over, in the first place.

[–] thedruid@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Sorry. You're wrong.

Focusing on this stupidity is what hurt the Dems. They keep going to the same wall Wich dried up a long time ago. Focus on the issue at hand

[–] Archangel1313@lemm.ee -1 points 4 hours ago

Lol! How did Democrats focus on policy?

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 36 points 1 day ago

It's because the politicians want the people to protect them, after they have consistently failed to protect the people.

I don't think so. It happened in the Hawaii state legislature. They don't run on the same incentives over there.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 hours ago

Hawaii's Democratic Party spans from the left to the right. The only people who get elected as Republicans are the truly insane.

But generally, Hawaii supports strict gun laws, so this seems like a surprising result.

Oh no…. Reverse psychology wouldn’t work on them … but reverse reverse psychology might work on the swing voters

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

At this point I think we should upgrade it to Ratchet Law.

I don't think the Civil War is gonna be Maui lobbing 5.56mm at Oahu...

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

The Republicans are actually secret geniuses, they are doing all this authoritarian stuff to trick the left into embracing guns.

Nah.
