Does every person who suffers a tragedy get to set public policy?

[canceled.2021.2]

This is a serious question.

Is that our new standard now?

First I am not saying that what some of these kids experience wasn't traumatic. I do find it curious that it is the same faces that are now being put out there by the media. They seem very coached and rehearsed, but that is beside the point for this conversation.

My question is this. Just because these kids suffered through a tragedy, does that give them the right to set public policy?

Can we extend that to other aspects of life?

For example do survivors of muslime terrorism get to set policy on muslimes?

Do victims of illegal immigration get to set policy on immigration?

Do victims of airline disasters get to set airline policy?

Why are these kids now all of a sudden so special?

I know the left tries to craft these so called "unassailable" arguments with so called "unimpeachable" mouthpieces. But, we know that there are left wing groups behind these kids pulling the strings. We have seen it too many times before. Like everything else, once you throw yourself into the public arena you open yourself up for criticism. And hiding behind "you hate children" isn't going to advance your argument.

BTW. Tim Ryan a pretty reliable democrat was on Chris Matthews last night and banning the AR15 was a non starter for him. So maybe you guys will have to wait a while.

Typical nonsense, since you know perfectly well it doesn't happen - but those who suffer should be listened to rather than lied about, even in Trump's ludicrous hell-hole.

So no rational responses? Didn’t think so. These kids are being used by the left just like Cindy Sheehan was and just like Sandra Fluke was.

YES, in America you're allowed to try.

You should know that ... Gerrymandering and Voter Suppression for example

They're not setting any policy. They're being advocates - legislators still set the actual policy.

And this one has reached a sort of critical mass. People are tired of seeing this kind of tragedy in the headlines; parents are tired of being worried about sending their kids to school; kids are tired of seeing their peers shot or have that kind of fear.

I tend to think that whatever legislation results from this will probably not be effective, and be more symbolic than anything. But I still love that it's the students who are leading the charge and making their voices heard on this issue. Democracy in all of its glory.

What a fucking idiot Teflon is being. Of course he's probably just goading people like he always does. They aren't setting anything, human beings are just trying to defend precious things that actually matter. Whenever something happens enough to shake peoples humanity, action is normally taken. I'm sorry some have to trade theirs away for toys, and joys, but we sure as hell aren't going to let you types dictate policy. People would suffer, while the guise of me, myself, and I, and personal decadence ruined things as a whole, and this country would fall in the same manners that befell the Roman Empire.

Sure, anyone can try, but your mistaken, it is not "setting" policy, but rather attempting to influence public policy

And the somebody "is behind these kids" is lame, I think that charge dates back to the 90's when supposedly Soros was responsible for everything occurring on the left. Do these kids have assistence, of course, at this point there surely are groups working with them to guide them, they are kids, but the pure emotion is real, ain't subversive Commie shells inside the effort

Policy has been "dictated" for over 200 years by our constitution.
Who's the idiot?

Why does a lying narcissist get to set policy? That's the question we should be asking.

These kids are being played just the way Cindy Sheehan was played. You should be ashamed of yourself.

But, it won't work.

Teflon Dimitri thread started from his bunker in Russia. He is dancing to Putin's music. Stir shit up. Start chaos and arguments. Tear the American people apart. How much do you get paid? Should not be much, you suck at it. You are so far off that it is borderline political humor. Except like all rightys, they are just not funny.
