I say this on reddit all the time but if you look at polls, an overwhelming majority of americans believe it is too easy to get a gun. As a liberal, the disagreement I have with liberals on guns is that they blame the conservative electorate for the gun violence problem when in reality it is the politicians who have the blood on their hands. Both sides (and yes, conservatives in particular) engage in bad faith so that no progress is made and they can continue to use guns as a wedge issue instead of talking about wages or healthcare. People are dying preventable deaths in service of maintaining political gridlock

Not to tighten my tin foil hat too much, but I really do wonder if a small contingent of these mods are being paid. I mean legacy media outlets have been unprofitable for years but they continue to operate, so someone somewhere is willing to pay for propaganda. I kind of hope they are getting paid because if they are being partisan hacks for free that's pretty fucking sad

Got banned from there in 2020 for saying it wasn't racist or crazy to wonder if the virus may have come from the lab I thought that was funny not only because it ended up being "likely" that the virus did come from the lab, but that people really thought that saying the virus came from a corrupt american funded lab with multiple safety violations was somehow more racist than saying "Chinese food markets are unsanitary and spread disease"
