(7,570 posts)I am also concerned that we elect Democrats that have Democratic values. There are no litmus tests except for some small groups, like what I would characterize as gun nuts, who want democracy as long as it doesn't endanger their guns. They even oppose universal background checks. With very few Democrats opposing these checks, I find gun nuts claim to being Democrats dubious.
If one of these self described democrats also specifically implied that Democrats don't think about their vote, I would be nearly certain that their claim was false.
And WTH is the crap about McCarthy and mewling?
Did you get called before a congressional committee and they painted you as a commie with no evidence? And you are confused about the difference between defense and offense in regards to the NRA. I haven't seen anyone on DU advocate defense and capitulation to the NRA except gun defenders.
Isn't this a weasel way of stating the obvious "Anybody that suffers in the polls about that vote has plenty of time to mend fences with his or her constituents" that you supported a handful of Senate Democrats and almost all Senate Republicans.
Guns are not people, they have no feelings, they are not even alive. Guns don't get to vote.. To hell with the NRA.
