Democrats struggle between standing up for the right thing even though it’s unpopular, and doing the politically-great thing albeit with watered-down words and policy. Deciding between which depends on the zeitgeist.
Truth is, something does need done about guns. We’re the laughing-stock of the industrialized world in this respect and for good reason. On the other hand, now probably isn’t the best time, considering how stacked the Supreme Court is. Better to pivot to universal healthcare and alleviating societal stress at every opportunity. Bernie’s 32 hour work week with no loss in pay is another good example.
