This is one thing I hate about democrats. They barely swing a few undecided voters and throw it all away by bringing up an item that many undecided voters take as a single-issue subject.

Gun issues are a losing topic.

Focus efforts on anything else (healthcare, housing, etc) and gun violence will drop.

I hate seeing articles like this because it tees you, the commenter, up for assuming that the entire DNC decided to drop their gun control policy.

This is just for Hawaii. Hawaii voted against this.

Newsweek is such a dogshit source to be talking about in forums and threads because they write everything assuming that Democrats are a perfectly unified group, all with identical motivations, reasoning, and agendas. We know they're not, but NW can show you a ding in a shoulder plate, and tell you the entire suit of armor is equally vulnerable.

You say that as if this vote result was a bad thing.

[–] HarkMahlberg@kbin.earth 3 points 1 day ago

Not at all. I don't know anything about Hawaii's internal politics, so the only thing I focused on was Newsweek's misleading headline and article writing.

They do it almost every election cycle though.
