Am I supposed to sit here and wait for republicans to feel ashamed or some shit? Am I supposed to sit around and wait for Democrats to magically win seats in red states? Seriously. If Obama couldn’t - or wouldn’t - do jack shit after the first dozen of children were murdered, why exactly am I expected to be hopeful that Biden will?
By voting for more democrats of course!
But for what it's worth, unlike other progressive policies that they wink and nod to, gun control is the one they are genuinely serious on. When the Democrats completely took over the Virginia state government, gun control was the one and only progressive policy they passed. Basically most state politics are fed by school board elections not municipal elections (mega cities like NYC and Chicago being major exceptions). Since school shootings affect poor and wealthy school districts alike it's an unquestioned given amongst any rising democrat.
