The argument over whether Democrats should become more "centrist" or not is always annoying to me because its proponents are always arguing that minority groups should take one for the team and get shafted. (For example, Dearborn voters should be OK with a Harris administration that sends bombs to Israel; Black voters should stop talking about "woke.")

If Democrats REALLY wanted to be centrists, they would quick trying to push gun control. I live in Atlanta and have a lot of family in rural red areas. It's hard to convince people that they should support "reasonable gun restrictions" when:

1) Democrats sound like absolute idiots when they talk about guns and can't get basic terminology right, and

2) these restrictions would likely turn millions of people into criminals seemingly overnight.

With everything in my being, I think Democrats could solve all their problems overnight if they dropped gun control talk. If anything, Kamala should have talked about her guns MORE.
