    Here. The US
    Where we sometimes allow 50% of the population to decide what happens with their own bodies.
    Just like there.

    If you have, then you can demonstrate how leaving these guns in private hands and on the black market will reduce shootings.
    Please begin.

    No. YOU have no idea what you;re talking about.
    Because you can't keep up.
    And you're about to prove me right.

    -Australia- sometimes allow 50% of the population to decide what happens with their own bodies.
    -Australians- like Bush Lawyer - boast about it.
    How is he wrong to do so?

    So you Eddie Haskell Jr are saying I am a low information voter, based on the fact that I rely more on actual life experiences as opposed to getting my information from a news source that your own people on this exact forum have stated many times are either left or right leaning?

    Good luck in life my friend, these days like everything else your trusted news source depends on “clicks” to make their profits.

    Actually, it's obvious to those who don't ignore what conflicts with their desired image. The Razor says rely on the smallest set of elements, primary stuff. In terms of a president, that is the question of having made things better or worse.

    If you ignore the propaganda and look at that performance, Joe is the wrecking ball, Trump was the visionary- and the people who bought the bullshit soup of the left.... The fools that let Joe do the wrecking.

    I see all the attacks, the complaints. Personal issues, not issues of performance in office are the basis for 98% of them. This is like disqualifying the race car because you dislike the color of it's paint.
    Don't worry, you're safe. Trump won't take over Australia.

    You didn’t answer my questions. You speak with such an air of authority as if you actually know who you are describing. You make assumptions. You criticize people for doing the same things you engage in on this forum.

    So spell out what team I play for. Who am I shilling for and why? What mindset? You don’t seem to have an inkling about me other than who you want me to be.

    When you say you have never seen a politician so devoid of competence and character that ever gained a powerful position — you are describing Donald Trump to a tee. When you can’t or refuse to see what kind of degenerate, abusive, corrupt person Trump is, and always has been, I question your ability to be able to understand basic human nature. I will never support a man who abuses women and treats them like chattel and like he can do whatever he wants to them with impunity. I do not associate with rapists, felons, liars, thief’s, racists, xenophobes, misogynists, bigots, and embezzlers… . Trump is all of those things and more.

    I will not support a politician like Trump ever, it goes against my own ethical stance and my own moral compass. If he were a Democrat, I would say the exact same thing. He is an odious creature.

    You are of course entitled to your own opinion. What matters to others is not how your perspective affects you and the consequences you bring on yourself- but how it affects the overall attitudes of society, that shape the world we all live in, and can bring consequences that affect us all.

    Nobody's perfect or right all the time- but some are far better at reading the situations and people than others. This shows in their successes and accomplishments as well as attitudes.
    Most people neither know or understand, but in fact- people are telling you who they are, how they think, what their values are- all the time, and it takes very little input to see. But- to see that, you have to do two things. One is have your own mind in order and tuned well enough to look beyond yourself and any preferences and biases, the other is to know what to look for and how to read people. As I have taught that skill for 40 years, and my clients have included Fortune 500 company managers, school systems and clinical psychologists, I like to think that I'm a little better at it than most.

    Trump has his personality quirks and faults; everyone does. But when it comes to reading people, the playing field and projecting it's future, in seeing what's going to working and not- Trump is very skilled. He absolutely knows himself, his purpose, and has the courage of his convictions to the point that nothing the left has thrown at him has shaken them. Biden on the other hand- has one skill, and that is ************ the public into thinking he knows and cares about anything but himself.

    What I know about you, what I read- is that you don't read people. You don't see what makes Trump special, nor do you see what makes Biden such a loser. You don't see the difference in what matters for the job, and what doesn't. That tells me about the accuracy of your thinking, how you discipline your own thinking- and how gullible you probably are. All conclusions based on what you think is irrelevant or too little information. To me- it's like a neon sign on the wall, instantly obvious.

    An opinion is just that, not a fact- but comes from either observation and value judgment or from personal emotions and bias. These are elements of the person and how they think.
    This isn't mean as any insult, it's just what I'm confident is true.

    Yes, forming your opinions only on anecdotal evidence is exactly how one becomes a low information voter. I recommend getting your sources from both the right and left. For example, I listen to all the insane conservative talk-radio hosts like Levin, Hannity, Praeger, Davis, Gallagher, Bongino, etc with a dose of right-wing sites to stay informed on both sides. I rarely listen/read left leaning sources.

    Also, me:

    So, again:
    Explain to us how leaving these guns in private hands and on the black market will reduce shootings.

    You know your statement is false, and yet you chose to make it anyway.

    You absolutely, positively, and unequivocally have NOT demonstrated how leaving these guns in private hands and on the black market will reduce shootings.

    And you know it.

    I am not leaving them there. I am making it unlawful for them to be there.
