What an idiot. Does he not realize talking about banning guns is the number one way to motivate right wingers? The US is NOT going to ban guns especially with the current Supreme Court. This is an example of his old team running old plays that haven’t been successful since the 90s. He needs to go before he causes any more damage to his party.
If you think that then you have no idea what would come with the threat of a national gun ban. The right might be fired up but with a possible ban not one of them would miss voting day. Also, there are enough left wingers who are against banning guns to irrevocably damage the party.
My point is there is no reason to even talk about this hot button issue. It’s not at the top of almost any left voters list right now so it won’t motivate anyone on that side. It was such a careless misstep that should have been completely avoidable. Talk about it After the election.
Let’s pick a candidate who can do better.
I remember taking an anthropology class years ago where the professor was attempting to explain how difficult it is to overcome our own personal bias. Her example was statements like “How did so and so win the election, nobody I know voted for them”. The point was we are more isolated than we realize because even within our own cities we tend to interact with only specific groups.
My point is just because it doesn’t exists within your bubble doesn’t mean it’s not widespread.

Right wingers are already at 100% motivation and have been for years. It’s the left that needs motivating.

I can’t think of anybody reasonable that opposes some amount of gun legislation, even if an overly specific assault / AR-15 ban is not a good one.

AR-15 is also one of my favourite rifle.
