We never would have got gun laws passed in our very red legislature in Florida if we refused to support legislation that didn’t include an assault weapons ban.

One way to completely screw yourself and everyone on your side electorally is to refuse to pass legislation that you aren’t 100% happy with.

The part of the job of organizers is to change culture and politics to push to make those in power change their stance and to expand our majority to make better legislation possible.
Note that I said part of the job. The job is much bigger than electoral politics
