WE Are NOT the Problem

[Ghost OF Trotsky]

56. Two things that I have heard

merely data points from associates and relatives, for what they are worth: Guns and sanctuary cities. Gun control, regardless of what one thinks of it, is a political loser, it just is, unless you live in a big, blue city. And sanctuary cities, while a good idea (allowing police to interact more effectively with people of undocumented status) seem to have gone way overboard, at least as being even petty criminals having protection from deportation.

Two issues that play well in SF, NY, Chicago - but we already easily win those areas and have nothing to gain from another 1 million votes in California - but are absolutely toxic to a lot of folks in areas where we *SHOULD* have appeal based on being for the working and underemployed classes.

Not saying what my opinion is on those, just saying that unless we forget additional gun restrictions and admit that once someone comes to be identified as a lawbreaker then immigration status becomes a big issue. we will have a much harder time in areas we really should win.

Personally, I don't care where someone's mother's womb was when they were born and I damn well know people who should NOT have guns.
