John Delaney and his ability to be shamelessly and wholeheartedly beholden to private insurance companies have found something new to exploit: the two mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, both of which happened at the beginning of August just hours apart and left 32 people dead. Delaney was given ample time during the past two Democratic primary debates to lay out his proposals, in which he was laughably seen as the rational moderate, when in reality he was just arguing for the status quo. Apart from arguing against any real or meaningful change, Delaney's most memorable debate moment was when Bernie Sanders rebutted his ridiculous anti-Medicare For All statements with “Well, you’re wrong!” Which drew a large cheer from the crowd. Delaney’s big new idea to end gun violence, which you can see pictured above, is to require “liability insurance” to purchase a gun - an idea which is comical and was mocked in the replies to his tweet.

And he did.  Guardian reporting  on the topic goes into detail on the bus you can see pictured above - which quite clearly belongs to American Guard given the placard that has been placed in window. Pictured here you can see that the members American Guard are wearing the same shirts...

Activists such as RL Miller of  Climate Hawks Vote  and the Sunrise Movement , among others, were monumental in there even being a Debate/Town Hall on the impending climate crisis to begin with, in which ten of the more than twenty Democratic presidential hopefuls have qualified for. The aforementioned groups felt that as a country and as a planet, the topic of climate change needed much more of a spotlight than a single question at the tail end of other Democratic primary debates. ABC News campaign correspondent Zohreen Shah  reported the news of Kamala Harris' no-show  a couple of days ago and the Harris campaign said that she would not be attending the town hall due to a "scheduling conflict" - which led to a l...
