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.

that’s correct - i’m 100% certain the police will not shoot and kill me
the power imbalance is kinda the point… there’s no good reason for the cops to pull their gun, so it’s a big deal when it happens… a few years ago the cops drew their service weapons and fired a taser in the middle of the melbourne CBD and it made national news
drawing a gun, let alone firing 1 is just so incredibly unnecessary that it’s a huge deal if it ever happens, whether it’s warranted or not… there’s literally no excuse - it’s just so unlikely that it’s “self defence” that “i thought they had a weapon” is never valid… there’s paperwork involved any time a gun is drawn, and way more any time 1 is fired
it’s not an implicit trust, it’s removing excuses as an option and trust that the country takes anything gun related extremely seriously… most aussies i know have a similar feeling toward guns as i do - what the fuck, this scares the shit out of me, because guns should be scary, and we don’t want them anywhere around us - police included
big “‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens” vibes there
do you always revert to xenophobia and personal attacks when someone shows a different point of view?
