Eyes on the prize. When a good chunk of the country has voiced support for doing away with the Constitution, when they broadcast that democracy is bad, when a small but active group is comfortable talking openly about armed revolution, I think maybe we've got bigger fish to fry than M4A.

When the majority can't have what they need, what are we fighting to preserve!

For me, democracy is what we're fighting for.

I didn't make my point very well. If the majority can't get what they need, it's no longer a democracy. Even Jimmy Carter admitted we have an oligarchy several years ago. We won't get it back if the only goal of our representatives is to get elected and reelected by going for the money to run on. Common people can't donate enough to keep up with donations from the wealth class.
