When will the democrats drop gun control from their platform given recent history?
"Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary"
- Karl Marx

When the Dems become a Marxist party.
-
democrats are right wing. slightly left than republicans, but still right wing.
-
The dems aren't Marxists. They're bourgeois liberals and have always been such.

~50% of an armed populace will fight for an oppressive regime. It's not an effective way to deter governmental takeover.
-
This assumes that either the populace that would fight for a freer regime is in the permanent minority or that there exists no part of the populace that would simply not fight for either regime.
I seem to recall that ~40% is the magic number of strong supporters (not necessarily militant supporters) that the regime would need to effectively suppress dissent through violent and non-violent means, but that's a half-remembered number that I cannot source.
-
That's not how power works.
An armed population is just ensuring their rights through threat of force just like the government doesn't. The government has to take that into consideration when deciding if they're going to choke more social support in favor of giving more to the keys of power.

What are you talking about? The Democrats actual platform around gun safety is very bland and common sense reforms with wide bipartisan support.
Your question is actually, "When will the Democrats stop doing the things that they aren't actually doing that Republicans told me they were doing as a boogeyman!!!"

DEATH TO THE RICH

im continually hearing rumours about their exquisite taste and superb potential for nourishment and satiation of the irate proletariat, when consumed.

Put them to work as unqualified workers. See if they like that label.

Yes, if we just keep awarding their willful ineptitude with blind loyalty and unquestioning obedience for a couple more decades, they're SURE to move the bar higher than "mostly not quite as awful as the alternative" of their own volition!
-
You say that as if the Democrats protect the people who vote for them
-
Exactly! So why are you asking them to!?
-
-
Maybe pass electoral reform in your state so we can be free to vote for who best represents us without a spoiler effect.

It's worth pointing out that in Maine, which has instant runoff voting, it was the Republicans who most aggressively opposed its implementation and sued to try to reverse the results of an instant runoff election that they lost. The voting system needs to be repaired, but even within the system as it exists, there is one party that has a proven track record of actively trying to make it worse.
-
They're going to nominate Liz Cheney next time lol
-
The have to KEEP GOING RIGHT until it works again like it did with Clinton!

You're not in the neolib safe space so; no, voting dem without ever holding them accountable in over a hundred years on literally anything has caused this situation. Harris would have given you four more years, at most, in the most optimistic circumstances, before this happened. America can't end any other way than this, and America is approaching it's end regardless of what you do.

"You will be happy with the breadcrumbs we give."

You take more than they give you, I won’t eat crumbs and I won’t rely on democrats to feed me scraps. I decided a long time ago if they won’t play by the rules why should any of us?
