"you're pro-gun rights but also pro-abortion access? Sorry, neither us nor the other guys want you"

Uhm... you do realize there are plenty of us on the left who adopt exactly those positions?



Isn't that his point? Plenty of you exist, yet your party will not represent your interests. The "left" party that you vote for has chosen a set of values that are contradictory to your own, and you have no recourse because who else will you vote for?


You seem to think kthe left wants to ban guns. Nope.


You continue to ignore the point. Your party. The one you vote for. Not "the left", whatever that means.


It depends on the specific politician but I think a generally accurate characterization of the left is that they want to restrict gun access (some of us would say that'd be a "sensible restriction" while others would disagree). There are some notable exceptions here from rural states. One of my Senators, Bernie Sanders, is actually rather pro-gun rights coming from a state that has a strong hunting tradition - though he is less in favor of handgun access.
