Well if you took a page out of France’s playbook it wouldn’t necessarily get to this point. At the slightest suggestion that they might have to work a bit extra or pay a bit more, they’re out burning cars and building guillotines. As it should be.
Edit: also educating people on safe firearms use as a condition of ownership of a firearm actually goes a long way to reducing the deaths. Also guns aren’t the only way of getting rid of people. Just ask the IRA.
I’d be more inclined to take responsibility if we had a more representative electoral system like STAR voting. Then more then 2 political parties would be viable, with no spoiler effect.
But we don’t see the democratic party (self described democracy lovers) passing this much needed reform in states they control.
Perhaps the democrats enjoy yelling and screaming at people online and IRL that a vote not for (insert pro genocide status quo candidate) is a vote for Trump. They love it so much they prefer trump winning over having to compete for our votes.
The most painful thing about voting reform is that it was up for voting in multiple states. And most of them chose the objectively worse system we currently have.
People revel in their stupidity. I have to hold conversations with several family members regularly where my jaw hits the floor as they refuse to put even the slightest thought into the things they do everyday. Just today I tried to explain the simplest of ideas of a browser and they won’t even listen.
STAR, or even the simple approval voting? They fall into the ‘but one vote!’ statement so fast that it leaves a crater.
Donald Trump is the new US President, and you’re responsible.
Victim blaming. Nobody asked to be born under this evil slavemaster pact.
I’m sure if you took a second to think about possible solutions to this problem you’d find a way of making the necessary amendments to your country.
The 2A sure rings different when it maters
