He's trying to motivate the progressives. His campaign has finally figured out that progressives aren't turning out in the swing states. After over a year of warnings. This, the rent thing, (which progressives immediately identified as entirely too high and a gift to landlords everywhere), and the exponential increase in supposed policy lists. (Which like any gift horse, shouldn't be checked too thoroughly lest the corporate subsidies they hide shine through)
What we really need him to understand is the problem is Israel. Any of this would have worked a year ago. But many progressives are not willing to support the genocide in Israel just to buy themselves comfort.
Most of the progressives I know are moving toward gun ownership rather than away, out of despair
I know that, you know that, but he's so disconnected that he didn't get what would happen to his ratings when he quashed the most consequential strike action in my lifetime.
the left don't give fuck about gun control - the far left actively oppose it
its the center right, pearl clutching, NIMBY, yuppy liberals who use it for virtue signaling, but even they won't be budged on who they're going to vote for based on the lip service about guns
The center left/right is Biden's base too, they're already sure to show up. But I don't think it's accurate to say the Left, like progressives, don't care. They very much care, the ones further to the left want to arm up and the ones closer to the center want to ban guns. It's an interesting intersection to look at but it pretty much comes down to how threatened they do or do not feel.
