I think if they want a true chance of their "blue wave," they need to back off talks about neutering the 2nd Amendment.

Neutering the second amendment is surprisingly popular with the masses.

The main problem democrats have is getting their base out to vote in the first place.

Quite frankly, independents are a fairly useless voter bloc that neither party values much at all. *Especially* during non-presidential years, as gerrymandering has already packed them away, unable to significantly influence the vote. Without checking, tell me if you're in a district that actually represents [redacted conservative county you're from] county, or one that also includes [redacted liberal county I'm from].

It's a trick question because the answer is yes--both districts including your county are heavily influenced by neighboring liberal counties due to gerrymandering, enough so that independents like you have no voice. It's common all over the nation, though more commonly done by the GOP than democrats. But both do it.

Dems seem to mainly be hoping that feminism and minority rights issues will carry the day for them. For some reason they've largely retreated from the field on the discussion of labor vs capital, which is a shame.

I mean, he has a point. Democrats at this point are still basically saying, "We're not Donald Trump. Eh? Eh? What do ya say? Vote for us?" There's literally no substance there.

And yet, it's been working. He has no point whatsoever.
