Time to break free of traditional political ideological labeling and divisions. Time to abandon old, divisive sociopolitical labels like "liberal" and "conservative".

A new political party based on a vastly, commonly held virtures lends itself to embrace over 66% of Americans, and it clearly embraces progressive principled thinking. In the most ideal American sense of unity, a political party should not be able to be defined or placed as "to the left" or "to the right" of where the Democratic or Republican parties currently are. Just let it exist organically based on present-day principled thinking. The American Progressive Majority.

Same, it’s not left enough for me if we’re going no arms

Gun control does not mean no guns. It means it's more controlled. I think the definition could (though never does or should) even include a requirement to own guns.

Yeah I’m aware. There’s plenty there I support like making sure people who shouldn’t have them don’t have a way to get them. But when they get into these banning of certain magazines and threaded barrels, the scrutinizing just turns people off. Those minute things don’t do anything and their actions have shown time and time again that those are things that they want to focus on. I’m fine with reasonable stuff but the scrutiny stuff leads to a “well where does it end?”
