The Democrats position is supported by the majority of voters. Roe v. Wade was the centrist position. Assault weapons ban and more restrictions on gun ownership is the centrist position. |
Well for starters we want to RETURN to the assault weapons ban that already was law until Republicans moved us all to the right by eliminating it. |
+1 And then then right wing blew up a fifty year long compromise on abortion too. Honestly, I think some of these slow witted Republicans expect everyone to be as blinkered as they are. |
What do "no labels" have to do with abortion or firearms? This party has already stated it will not involve itself in positions on these two issues that are going to drive the entire election cycle. This party is for the few clueless voters that don't appreciate the importance of these issues. |
If a party is running candidates, it is nice to know their platform or opinions on certain key issues. |
Democrats don't support RvW anymore, though. They think it is too restrictive. They want zero laws about abortion and for the entire issue to be left between women and their doctor. |
And? Does the state get involved with appendectomies? |
So compromise at Roe. But the GOP won't do that. |
I'm not arguing the merits of their position, I'm pointing out that they are not supporting RvW anymore because they see it as too restrictive. So saying that most Americans support RvW and therefore agree with the Democrats is inaccurate. I agree with RvW, but not with the Democratic position. They are two different things. |
Yawn. I don’t get groups that seek to take partisanship out of politics. Politics is partisan. This is a liberal country, but a remnant ban of gun nuts is standing in the way of progress. |
The r v w is the compromise in your scenario and the right destroyed it, not the left. |
But in any case. No labels can't be bothered with the issue of abortion so the electorate won't be bothered with them. |
They aren't going for voters who focus on that issue. |
So they don’t think women are full citizens entitled. So non partisan! |
