Oh, the gun violence, and failure to have a more modern and inclusive health care (including mental health) are absolutely entwined.
The US is failing its citizens every day. In so many ways.
Yet on the right they're dicking about without a speaker and heading the US to a government shutdown.
There's a problem with our two party system, and there is no good solution that I can see. I live in the south. Die hard cult members around here, and this is the suburbs of a major city that leans more to the left (just like any urban center tends to) but leaning left from fascism is not enough.
I am a lefty on most things, just not 2a. Sadly the group that likes guns also seems to like the christofascist political folks.
The brainwashing is real. Went through some myself, and it still troubles my thoughts. Do I believe in something because I actually believe it, or was it instilled in me at a young age and I don't recall the source? I try to challenge my perception of things frequently, some efforts more successful than others.
Sir, this is a Wendy's
Nope, this is a discussion thread and he's discussing his thoughts.
That is true. Now if only his thoughts had any connection whatsoever to the article under discussion.
Meh, he hit the wrong reply button and didn't continue the thread he was in.
