Let me guess - the older lawmakers who voted for some of Trump’s cabinet nominations?
Exactly. And those older law makers get in the way anytime people want to even attempt to make things better.
It's clear Democrats aren't interested in winning. Being a anti gun zealot is not going to win elections in the USA.
Democrats will not fight for me and my rights even in the best of times, so i would never in a trillion fucking years be okay with disarming. My body my choice in how I defend myself.

I agree with the older Dems, but not for their reasons.
No, we should not support the candidates that Hogg supports. Because Hogg is very opposed to 2A rights, and ipso facto any candidate that he supports will also be opposed to 2A rights. And if you think that we're gonna just vote our way out of this, I've got some very, very bad news for you.
Primary the old fucks with young leftists (hopefully ones that actually understand economics and tax policy)? Absolutely! Primary them with ones that ideologically aligned with Hogg? No.

I love his energy, but I sincerely disagree with the whole gun control narrative right now. Leaning into that when there are about to be a shitload of far right militias deputized is an absolutely fucking idiotic plan.
Those laws wouldn't get passed until this whole thing is over and there are progressives in office able to actually do things, if that happens. You wouldn't have gun control as the law of the land in two months. And guns need to take a massive fucking back seat in America. No more blood cult shit, because that's what it is.
Go for what you actually want, which is freedom. Freedom is when you aren't surrounded by people with guns.
Freedom is black folks being able to shoot Klanners who try to burn down their homes. The 2nd Amendment isn't just for pricks.
I get it, but this is where he comes from, I thought the same thing you did until I read this.
So like… I was in my early thirties when this happened. I know. I remember. I watched some of the news livestreams as it went down.
I said what I said understanding that.
I am by no means trying to diminish, demean, discredit, disparage, or otherwise detract from his experience. Im saying that I am very fucking concerned that an actual war is coming, and disarming right before a war is a great fucking way to get killed.

God the more I learn about this kid the more I am impressed and behind his every move!
Can you tell me more about him? This is the first time I've heard of him and I can't find much online.

"What a disappointment from leadership. I can think of a million better things to do with twenty million dollars right now," swing-district Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-Mich.) told Axios.
"Fighting Democrats might get likes online, but it's not what restores majorities," she added.
The issue is we get majorities and then nothing gets done with depresses turnout.
We don't want to primary these old conservatives, we'd much rather them represent their constituents, but they've shown time and time again they won't.
We'd rather they get out of the way and resign, but they won't put the future of the party over their own personal power.
So fuck em.

Take traitor Jeffries’s request to Justice Democrats seriously. Unseat that piece of shit while he’s minority leader.
has sparked intense anger from some lawmakers.
Who gives a shit. What do potential voters think?
Every Democrat seat should face a primary. Every year. No party funds should be spent until after the primary or all people on the ballot should get the same party stipend.
