Also on abortion, 48% find it morally wrong, 20% said it's morally acceptable, and 31% don't believe it's moral issue.
Also on guns, stop using the phase "common sense," as if you know what the fuck you're talking about. Americans strongly oppose a new assault weapons ban.
Where in the Republican party platform did you find "support corporate bribery?"
Where in the Republican party platform did you find "support gerrymandering?"
Lol, you presented evidence for public support for "tougher regulation of Wall Street" and then substituted Dodd-Frank, which is nothing of the sort.
why do you even try? i explicitly inb4'd that idiotic and predictable
'they don't publicly say it like that, so it doesn't count' excuse. partisan gerrymandering and citizens united are staples of republican election strategy. their respective stances on those issues were deciding factors for trump's supreme court nominations (and the recent scotus decision on gerrymandering illustrated that perfectly).
who are you even trying to convince here? i'm sure we both are perfectly aware that republicans heavily rely on both, while most democrats, just like the overwhelming majority of americans, oppose them - they want to put an end to gerrymandering and money in politics. republicans not outright stating 'yes, we want heavily gerrymandered districts (although some actually did) and corporate bribes' doesn't make it any less true.

same with gun laws, look at the poll and the facts, and stop whining about your feelings, i'm not your boyfriend. i said that over 90% of americans are for universal background checks, and the poll proves me right. so when mcconnell outright BLOCKS any kind of common sense gun legislation, the republican party is clearly acting against the will of the american people. takes a true hack (or idiot) not to acknowledge such basic FACTS.
