Democrats are going to be talking economy, jobs, and national security, and how they have a far better track record than republicans n all of those.
Republicans are going to want to distract from the fact that dems are better at governing by ginning up their base about how the left is going to come take their guns.
No. you aren’t. Cite me to any Republican saying “we’re the pro murder rights party”. You can’t, because they haven’t. That language…with all the offensive connotations it carries…comes from you and others of your ilk. It’s an extreme, irrational, provocative, over-the-top approach that turns centrists…like myself…against you.
Well when you are criticizing teenage survivors of a school massacre for using their voices to advocate for change, you are not doing yourself any favors. I don’t think the anti-school-shooting-survivor political block is very large or influential.
Dude. I’m discussing the brand image they are creating, unintentionally of course but they’re doing it, and using simple words to describe how it looks to others. Clear now?
So, when the right makes up things about what the left wants and believes, and couches that in rather vulgar and strong language, that doesn’t bother you in the slightest, but if some left leaning poster says something, that’s just intolerable.
The people in the party that you are defending are most certainly doing exactly that. Strange that doesn’t bother you in the least.
It doesn’t look that way to rational others. Again, you are falsely imputing your radical extremism to the country as a whole. People will smell what you’re cooking in places like New York, Chicago, and California. Not so much in the heartland.
You keep asserting what the country thinks. Have you checked out that recent Quinnipiac poll I linked to that actually shows what the country currently thinks about gun control? The change in views on support for stricter gun laws in the last two years is stunning. 19% change since 2015. Now its 66% to 31% in favor. Even gun owners themselves are supporting it 50% to 44% now.
As Bob Dylan once said “The times they are a-changin’”
I agree. Look here’s what he said "Crow told RCP. He emphasized his support for expanded background checks, banning military-style assault weapons, and closing gun show loopholes. "
Ok, you will have large support for the first one, confused by general support for the 2nd, but not much for the thrid, which may be unconstitutial.
Sure, right now, after a school shooting we have a wave of support for some sort of gun control. This is the “Something must be done!” cry. But will that be there come election time 2018 and especially 2020? Doubtful.
Focus on “expanded background checks”. Even the NRA has been back and forth on that.
You don’t get to take my words out of context and twist them into something you wish I’d said. I said, quite specifically, to cite any Republican saying “We’re the pro murder rights party”. Nothing more, nothing less. Nothing about any kids doing any thing.
You’ll need to cite where anyone claimed that the republicans said that. I see a poster claiming that they are painting themselves as that party, but that wouldn’t require the type of cite that you are demanding, just that people are perceiving them that way due to their actions, and Airbeck’s cite more than amply demonstrated that.
