Time to break free of traditional political ideological labeling and divisions. Time to abandon old, divisive sociopolitical labels like “liberal” and “conservative”.

A new political party based on a vastly, commonly held virtures lends itself to embrace over 66% of Americans, and it clearly embraces progressive principled thinking. In the most ideal American sense of unity, a political party should not be able to be defined or placed as “to the left” or “to the right” of where the Democratic or Republican parties currently are. Just let it exist organically based on present-day principled thinking. The American Progressive Majority.

    Why should I believe any of these statistics when the percentage of gun owners is verifiably wrong.

    I’m just not gonna trust any of the numbers in this post.

      Honestly that’s the one number that is the most difficult to confirm. The NRA lobbied congress to ban the ability to perform studies to gather any meaningful statistics on guns within the USA. No federal agency can perform the studies, nor can they fund those studies, nor can they acknowledge third party studies when making policy. So there’s no good longitudinal studies on things like suicide rates because that would harm the fucking gun manufacturers.

      Verify it then? I don’t know what specific study they’re referencing because the citation is too broad, but that 2017 link is 69% don’t currently own, 72 seems within that margin

      Damn y’all are lazy AF. It took me 20 seconds to google this article from 2020:

      Thirty-two percent of U.S. adults say they personally own a gun, while a larger percentage, 44%, report living in a gun household.

      So it seems like the graphic is slightly off 72% vs 68% for 2020.

      But the article also has a chart with historic values betwen 27% and 34% from 2007 - 2020. So 73%-66% seems like a fairly accurate range.
