Guns are pretty much banned in Japan and the UK.
Still, presenting it as a binary is harmful to the movement, when Americans regularly poll in favor of stricter gun measures but not an outright ban.

According to polling most Americans support stricter gun control measures but not a ban. As usual, it's the Electoral College and FPTP (IMO, no country with either should be listed as a full democracy. Not USA, not UK, and not Canada.) Still, it is true that the gun issue is too often presented as binary (but I'd actually say this is just as common with foreigners arguing for gun bans as it is with Americans arguing against it.)
I'd give up gun control for America to no longer be allied with Israel.

Holy shit we found JD Vance's Lemmy account
Who's going to stop you?
Anyway, US politics affects the whole world. I hate a lot of the commentary coming from particular regions (Western Europe, Australia, Canada) but it still affects them.
I'm a zoomed so I can confirm you completely failed to bring up any media relevant to Gen Z, and Star Trek TOS and Ali are closer than Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, and Bond.
There's definitely a relationship between the marginalization of dark skinned people (men and women) and the view of dark skinned people as more masculine (therefore more dangerous.)
I'll be the first person to explain how the math on third party candidates doesn't work out, but I'm really not into this "blocking them from the ballot" thing. Whether it's the Dems with Cornell West and the Green Party or the Republicans with the Libertarians and RFK Jr.
"Cwm"
One of a few words that use W as a vowel. (This is how the word "Pwn" works too)
When Harris first came on the scene I thought to myself that the election became a battle between Reagan nostalgia and Obama nostalgia. And I cannot blame any American for feeling Obama nostalgia because I feel Obama nostalgia, but reliance on nostalgia blinds us to new ideas and current issues.
Nothing will be done until the politicians can no longer ignore end FPTP movements.
