take advantage of the gun laws to get all armed up. After seeing those people in Richmond, shudder, I feel the need to potentially protect myself against armed right wing nut jobs.

Hoard cash for the upcoming deregulation induced recession / depression that always happens after a two term republican at this point.

I am already noting who among my friends is still a Trump supporter (versus a regular conservative), particularly in case they are encouraged to rat out their liberal friends, Nazi style, in the future.


Seek help. Please.

I think it would only increase white turn-out. Most blue collar and hourly employment people still work on national holidays.

If you don't have any time to vote from 6am to 8pm that day, get an absentee ballot.


Liberals want everything the easy way.


Virtually every other democracy votes on a national holiday. But sure -- keep telling yourself this is just some liberal fantasy.

I can tolerate actual Republicans. I can’t really be expected to tolerate cult members.

What makes me most nervous about Trump winning is that he will very firmly entrench Ds in Congress and most likely lead to Dem pres in 2024. Full democratic control makes me nervous, as does full republican.

I hope that a Dem wins now (at least if it isn’t Sanders) and the Republicans keep one chamber, presumably the Senate. That will make it much less likely either party has complete control any time soon.

People in impoverished urban areas, as discussed just upthread from my post.

Fine then. Let's increase turnout across the board.

I will push retirement back 4 more years and keep raking in a small fortune in the hottest economy I've ever experienced.

I'm also black, and I hear that sentiment all the time. Even my 83-year old (very young at heart and physically agile) aunt says the same thing.

Sadly, what I saw in Richmond (as the gun toting 2nd amendment went into the Capitol with weapons of war), it definitely makes you think long and hard. Open season? I don't think so.



Exactly. The funny thing is that once all the minority decide to yes, exercise their rights to legally own and have access to guns, semiautomatics, rifles, silencers, etc, then Trumpsters will want to follow a blue initiative to have better gun control. Scratch that. They’ll simply want to find a way to confiscate them all. It will be unconstitutional, but that is par for the course in their party.

Go gramma!


That is exactly what Dave Chappelle said. I think you and he are on to something. Btw, gramma ain't no fool!

Incisively, Chappelle argues, “Every able-bodied African-American must register for a legal firearm. That’s the only way they’ll change the law.” America will quickly reinterpret the 2nd Amendment.

In 1967, after the formation of the Black Panther Party, the Mulford Act, a bill to eliminate Californians’ rights to openly carry weapons was signed into law by Gov. Ronald Reagan.

In 1925, African-American physician Ossian Sweet moved into a white neighborhood in Detroit. When a white mob attacked his home, he and friends defended themselves, killing one person and wounding another in the process. Shortly after murder charges against Sweet and his compatriots were dismissed, Michigan’s Legislature granted county governments control over the issuance of gun licenses.



The high gun crime in places like Baltimore and Philadelphia and Chicago apparently has minimal influence on national gun control.....


The American elite (read: white people) doesn't care about black-on-black crime. Or, more accurately, poor-on-poor crime - because that's really the story of gun violence in Baltimore, Chicago, and Philly. Seriously.

They only time Republicans pretend to care about it is when they try to use it as a wedge issue to bash Democrats. Do you see any conservatives actively working in the inner cities to reduce violence and pull people out of poverty? I don't.


Inner cities elect Democrats, have for decades, how can republicans do anything when democrats are in charge of cities?


Because Democrats alone can't pull people out of poverty. Neither can Republicans do it alone. That's the fallacy of your belief when you say "Why do they keep electing Democrats?" You really think inner city poverty in Baltimore would get better with a bunch of Republicans at the helm, slashing education and services budgets?

It requires all of us working together and sacrificing equally to pull up our fellow Americans.


But corporate America owns both sides and every single politician, and none of them care for the poor. So it isn't going to happen. Not unless we completely reconstruct our government and that is never going to happen either. The top percentages will get richer, the middle class continues to shrink, and poverty continues to increase.

Allowing all the poor immigrants to keep coming? That only makes it worse. There sure aren't any rich immigrants coming here. And Canada is getting all the international student's going to college now. Not America anymore.
