I agree that the Democratic Party isn't serious about it, but there's all these regular non-party people who seem to think that if they make posts, spread awareness, and vote they'll somehow get to gun control. Unless they're all full of shit too I would hope they would figure out that they actually need to organize and demonstrate to get something. It's honestly a little disheartening that they haven't figured that out yet because it demonstrates just how politically demobilized the average USian is .
Like the vast majority of American liberals their entire world view regarding politics is performative marches and voting. I doubt one in one hundred of them has ever considered something as simple as chaining the doors of a gun shop closed. And I imagine any time that any of them does independently discover the concept of direct action they're either immediately talked down by their civility loving associates or their energy is coopted by Democrat party functionaries.
I'm sure the deaths of school children are very emotionally upsetting to them, but for all practical intents and purposes the democratic base have no agency and no ability to act.
