  • What parts of the US? And are guns the only concern? How about the right coded stabbings? Hit by a car where cars aren’t supposed to be? Assaulted by a drunk? Assaulted by an immigrant? Assaulted by a local? Considerably higher in the EU.

    You avoided some big logical gaps to make your statement.

    The reality is more like global leading countries are safer than others. You are just focused factoid that ignores a whole lot of others things.

    I have remained a voting Democrat since I started voting during Bush. I do not find “both sides” a way to prevent people from voting. I find that Dems have taken to also nominating insufferable assholes, following the lead of the Republicans. But people like paying more attention to crappy leaders than learning how to elect good ones.

    Also - Trump hasn’t been as bad as claimed. He has mostly been what I expected for 12 years. Mostly ineffectual and inconsequential. Undeserving of the attention he is given.

    I suppose I am something of a centrist democrat. However I take that moniker in place of the aggressive Overton Window shifts that have occurred over the last decade. I do not find the Hyper Modernist shift acceptable as they are far more libertarian than they understand. I am more comfortable with Socialist policy, leadership, and approach. I like collectivist communal lifestyles but anything that divulges to communism has become a wearying conversation.

    So I feel rather centrist, almost grilling .
