I like the sentiment, but I think it’s been peddled so long that I think it would take too much time to dispel. It’s one of those things that I feel was said so many times over the years that even people with more sense started to believe it.

I think they’re meeting people where they are, in hopes to pull some people from the other side. Because obviously the people who understand that the whole thing is BS are already voting for Harris because the alternative is insane.

For real, it’s the musk’s that are the dangerous ones.

Right, it’s especially rich because that the demographic that’s overwhelmingly “Christian” despite consistently voting against policies that align with “Christ’s” teachings.

Usually bs like “good Christian values”, which are ultimately so anti-christian that it’s almost humorous.

For guns, I’ve recently run into a point of view that I think is valid: the above structure (insurance/license) disproportionately favors the wealthy. Ultimately it just adds a barrier for the poor.

I fully understand that the stats show that gun control laws DO indeed decrease GUN violence. However violent crime in general doesn’t really change. The ONLY statistically effective way that guarantees a reduction of violence on the whole is lifting people out of poverty. The less poor we have, the less violent crime. Social programs can lift us out of so many issues.

Put the drive in a hydraulic press.

This Elmo?!

Yes, but I feel as though people are more active this election, so I think there’s a larger chance of at least getting rid of the super majority in the house.

Almost the whole house is up for reelection this November as well, so maybe at least that part can be handled.

Hope she wins, and pushes through something to dismantle the collage. We need ranked choice.

Yeah, but these are taken as sample. I’ve never once been asked, but I’m certain my existence in a particular geographic area has been counted one way or the other. Was the sample statistically significant? Who knows.

Yeah, I’ll give you the strawman, sorry about that. Made sense before I said it.

The Nazi belief was absolutely a religion. Not one of deity, but of superiority. A group of people held the same belief and tried to beat that belief into the whole world. TBH, sounds just like the crusades, just less successful. Thank goodness.

No, he said that he would probably be COUNTED as Protestant on some survey, those are rarely polled largely enough, and it’s certainly not a census.

I still have records in the Mormon church, but I’m definitely not a Mormon any more. Would I be counted as one in those stats? Probably.

“guns don’t kill people, people kill people”, does that mean there should be zero regulations on guns?

Religion is the same, and historically has been the CAUSE not the TOOL for countless genocides and “justified” killings.
