Yeah, there's a matter of bandwidth, but trying to make all these issues "compete" with one another for attention just feels like playing in the hands of maintaining the status quo. I mean, like, where does endless foreign wars fit in on this priority flowchart then? I kinda feel like morally it should probably rank ahead of domestic issues then because it's us (as a nation) inflicting harm to others. So can we not work on healthcare and poverty until we end our involvement in the Middle East? Nah, we can and should do more than one thing at a time. Except America has proven it can't. Please face reality of our system. Literally couldn't pass covid relief and 15 dollars an hour. I am sick of people saying this, no offense meant to you, and then nothing changes. Like none of it is getting done because America sucks. Welcome to America. (citation: not literally nothing) Like, I obviously want all of this stuff. I am not trying to not get it. If suddenly the senate woke up one day and was like "yeah fuck gun violence" I wouldn't be upset, but given the horrible bandwidth I do have a priority list. Now if people want to, like, focus on local government issues for gun laws (you know like Colorado tried to do before it was overturned and then people died oops) that's obviously fine. Because gun violence is indeed bad. --- Sir Chris Doom The Kanto Saga - Animated Series - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hH4wNFCrLM <cite>DoomTheGyarados posted [p:953025534] in Politics C...
