"Can't Count Votes? Just Draw Straws."

Journal by fustakrakich

That the Democrats lose House seats, do not win the Senate and barely manage to drag their demented presidential candidate towards a stalemate tells a lot about their lack of sane policies. A donor party completely disinterested in what the people really want - medicare for all, no fracking etc. - will have little chance to survive a future onslaught of conservatives with a more competent figure head than Donald Trump. ...should Trump lose this election, Trumpism will only grow and make the U.S. ungovernable.

    I just want background checks and some age limits.

    Actually, I would like a hell of a lot more than that. I want the owner of any weapon used in the commission of a felony held responsible. So, if little Junior gets a hold of Dad's or Mom's gun, I want Dad and/or Mom to be potentially held responsible for whatever crimes little Junior commits, above and beyond the felony charges Junior may face. Second, I want to see much more stringent background checks for those amassing a weapons arsenal. It should get progressively harder to get a permit beyond the purchase of the first few guns. And I would like the Sheriff to be held accountable for that; too many of the Sheriffs in the country are handing out gun permits like gift certificates. Just my $0.02 worth.
