If Democrats were smart, they'd temporarily drop talking about some of the more controversial and not immediately relevant political hot topics.
Like gun control is not an immediate need at this moment in time. The focus needs to be on fixing our democracy as quickly as possible so we can get back to the actual process of governing once again instead of this shit show we've had for the last decade.
The grade schoolers getting shot at on a regular basis would beg to differ...
There's no possible path to gun control with a broken democracy. We have terrible options available to us right now, but that's because we've allowed our foundations to rot almost completely.
You've gotta fix the structure of our democracy before you can even begin to address issues like gun control, discrimination or reproductive rights.
Trying to go after gun control now is like a nation focusing solely on stopping muggers while they're in the middle of being totally overrun by hostile invaders. Yes it's a problem, but unfortunately we've just got even bigger fish to fry at the moment.
