I’m sure that there is a gun control thread somewhere but what’s going on is so incredible I thought that this merits its own thread.
These kids are just so incredible. It’s terrible what’s happened to them but these kids are exactly the voices the American people needed right now. This is the best of Feel the Bern and Mother’s against Drunk Driving, activism at its finest.
·Stick to the issue, speak to the policy substance.
·Be truly inclusive, speak to the people and not down to the opposition. Avoid regressive identity politics like the scourge.
·Concrete demands— the gun reform demands are powerful, unarguable. Their eye on campaign finance reform keeps them locked on the most important deeper issue.
These kids are demonstrating how powerful true progressivism is. This is the liberalism that everyone actually wants.
Honestly, between the corrupt corporate DNC, the regressive leftists and Antifa, I thought the left was going to squash its 2018 chances but these kids might be the silver bullet— both in solidifying the left to truly fight for the substantive progressive issues, but also in destroying the chances for republicans.
And you can see it in how the right is absolutely bellyflopping and panicking. Ben Shapiro is the most triggered snowflake in the country now. That moment when Cameron asked Marco Rubio, “Will you turn down all donations from the NRA?” Or when David Hogg gave his speech this last weekend— man I probably woke the neighbors with how stoked I was.
The rational conservatives are pissing themselves silly— they are terrified of people like Bernie or these kids because they know that the American people are liberal on the issues, so they have nothing to beat a rational liberal.
These kids have got the whole country Cheeing and crying—
Damn. This might really be the turning point— it starts with guns, but it might end with money out of politics, and finally a new new deal for the American people. God... God bless ‘em!
