the fate of this country is ultimately in the hands of the people, not the dems or republicans. we can bitch about who's not doing the right thing or we can do it ourselves.

arm yourself. stop waiting on someone else to fix it.

Whom are you going to shoot in order to fix this genocidal cult? You're not going to outgun the cops, military, etc. You can't shoot a disgusting, anti-life, capitalist "culture". Grow up.

Can't arm myself... my state requires I pay a tax... do a background check that takes about a day... then do the same background check but it takes a few days to a few weeks... then I have to wait 30 business days which is like 3 months... oh and I need live fire training where I have to fire a minimum of 50 rounds which each round is taxed and I am given a pass/fail status by an old fudd who thinks I should never handle a firearm because I'm a registered Democrat... eventually I get my firearm if my licensed dealer hasn't fucked up the paperwork or isnt on another holiday... BUT I am severely limited in my choices as nearly every good personal defense firearm is banned either by name or because it has a useful feature like threaded barrels to mount a suppressor which will help with my hearing loss as I age... I probably won't get what I want either because the standard mag comes with a capacity of 11 or more rounds...

But yes! Lets arm ourselves!

sounds like defeatist talk to me. i can't legally own a firearm either but that never stopped me.

It IS defeatist talk. Some people prefer to remain cattle than to fight, and will find any excuse to be so.

I've been asking this for days and have not gotten a clear answer in what way is the DNC fighting the candidate put forth to the generals by the DNC?

The democratic governor, for instance, has said she won't fund Mamdani's programs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 minutes ago

That's fine because Mamdani isn't asking for state funding, AFAIK. His $60M grocery store plan reallocates funding which would have gone to business subsidies for grocery stores, his other ideas cost an estimated $3M and $5M out of a $116Bn fiscal budget. Since Property Taxes are not handled by the state he doesn't need permission to raise them on.

He was put forth by the people not by DNC.

You don't get into the DNC primary via petition, my guy. You ask the DNC to join and they give out invitations to the ones who can run on their ticket.
