I wholly support the tenets of democracy and people having the right to be wrong in their opinions, but Poly weaponizes their lack of knowledge. Democracy only truly works when arguments are made in good faith and are knowledgeable. Poly does neither. “10 rounds is too many” by what metric? The Cracker Jack box you pulled that idea from? And they take advantage of the sympathy card cause of the poly shooting. That’s disgusting.

It's not lack of knowledge. They know they can lie and not be held to account for it.

Exactly. They get "corrected" on all their posts. They absolutely KNOW what they are doing.

Its a screeching campaign based off of someones unresolved trauma over a horrific day. They can leverage that emotional response to get whatever from the public, but I've never damn seen anything about them on TV or media before I re-got into guns last year for hunting! Damn people are crazy man, the whole organization is corrupt and riddled with cancer to the core.

I think they know they don’t know, but don’t care to educate themselves. So kinda still that they lack the knowledge. But that’s arguing semantics and doesn’t matter. The important part is what you said, they know they can lie and get away with it.

They definitely have to be on fent or something

Anything sounds reasonable when you have no idea what you’re talking about. Unfortunately a common problem in all politics. Lobbyists like poly are malicious tho. They probably know what they say is bullshit, but the wider populace doesn’t.

Misinformation cannot be given in good faith and those who campaign on bad faith don’t deserve to be given the time of day.
