Also people with multiple guns loading up on ammo for all of them. Like let’s pretend this is IT, you need something for a 0-35m engagement and maybe a sidearm. Anything more is a waste and can’t be used. Like why buy ammo for his lever action and .357, in addition to the .223 and .45 for his useful guns?

I don’t understand how people think I guess? I’m really having to dream up scenarios where you need more than 50 rds.

I mean that’s more of a statistical polling fact than a weird racially motivated comment. If you dropped the racial aspect of polling you’d still get the same result, The majority of older southerners want republican policies, some of them just don’t want the racism along with it.

Would you really? Any reason to assert that black southerners are really Republicans other than that they didn't vote how white liberals wanted them to? John Lewis was so saddened as his skull was cracked because he really thought they could come together on the capital gains tax. Jim Clyburn would have supported slashing welfare if the Republicans had only gotten rid of some of the Obama with bone in his nose memes. These are all reasonable positions to take!

It's stupid fun to shoot too. Best part is ammo is cheap as chips so you can plink all loving day with it for like 50 bucks. You wouldn't know it's chambered for .22lr by looking at it either.

Nah.

I lived in Virginia up until late last year. We had two state elections in the time I lived there. VA dems have control of all three branches and we're already seeing a ton of solid changes come through. poo poo that would have NEVER happened under the GOP or split house/senate.

I don't think Dems are perfect and I admit they gently caress up the simplest of things, but I'm getting so tired of the "Dems do nothing, nothing matters!" poo poo.


This.

Some places are making a lot of headway with (more left) democratic candidates at the state and local level, but IMO it's a mess at the national just as described with the party picking Biden. I'm done with the national party.

Arguably the biggest thing that killed Bernie's chances wasn't the possibility that the national Dem party was against him (it was) as much as the MSM came out heavily in favor of Biden, w/r/t the whole "electability" thing. There's a reason the "Sanders is coming in first, so that's why the polls say Biden's now leading (candidate in third)" and neglecting to mention Sanders at all. It's also visible when idiots on CNN go "Oh, wow, Biden was very presidential" after a debate where he constantly lied through his teeth.



The biggest wrinkle that makes this obvious is that you have a majority of people who support the very socialist polices that Sanders is advocating for, yet still somehow think Biden, who has been against most of them, is the one to best represent their interests.

Hey friend, don't pretend to give a gently caress about anti-abortion anything when Bernie endorsed a forced birth Dem, himself. Reproductive rights aren't your cudgel to use when you're just as happy to set them aside for your chosen candidate.

EDIT: Or flat out annihilate them by failing to vote in the general. Thanks!

In 2017, Sanders endorsed Democrat Heath Mello, Candidate for Mayor of Omaha in his fight against Republican incumbent Jean Stothert.

So yes, technically true, and interesting that the messiah of purity voters chose to endorse an impure democrat over the republican candidate. If only the usual suspects ITT could do the same.
