        As a liberal I like guns but I think they should be better controlled and people who own guns should carry liability insurance.

        I think conservatives are bad and leftists while well-meaning are a largely useless political bloc mostly due to infighting, purity testing and low voting rates.

          Ahh yes, the “left is a useless political bloc” but when the Democrats lose it’s a “It’s the left’s fault” blame game all the way down. Meanwhile we’re just tired of mealy mouthed, corporatist neo-liberals being pushed on us that say things like “we need a strong republican party” or “nothing will fundamentally change.” Perfect!

              Well blame the Democrats for putting out candidates who don’t energize even their base. Blaming "the left’ is what they want you to do so you don’t question their continual failure to actually appeal to people. This also isn’t just a Trump thing, it’s a conservativism in general problem. The GQP break shit, the Democrats try to fix it without making changes that they know need to be done, then the GQP break the next thing. It’s been going on for decades before him.

                  And again you will ignore the lessons of the past and again be outwitted by Republicans. I sucked down the bile to vote Harris like I did with Biden including to Hillary. Biden won because the COVID response blew up in Trump’s face but not enough people seemed to remember it to bother voting amongst even the liberal base.

                    You might have but millions of people who voted Biden decided not to vote in 2024 and I saw the left-wing campaign on social media telling people not to vote because the DNC and RNC are the same.

                    It was similar to what you’re saying now.

      Because you can only post low effort bait for so long before people get sick of the novelty.
