The problem is that the general "Left" is quite splintered, but the most prominent and vocal minority, being large parts of the academic left, are either explicitly marxist or at least in some form pseudo-marxist. My point was that those most vocally advocating change in american society do so in the worst way possible, by advocating Marxism or some derivation of it at the same time.
And the average US citizen is HIGHLY sensitive to any notion of Marxism still. Of course healthcare has nothing to do with communism or anything like that. But the average american is hilariously uneducated when it comes to the actual definitions and forms of communism and how that stuff works. If it means that a working person pays money so that some poor people have a better life, that's enough to make them froth "COMMUNISM!!!!" immediately.
If only you could take your oppression goggles off and see that communists own academia and a good portion of Hollywood, and are not oppressed or "Irrationally feared and hated by frothy-mouthed hilariously-unenlightened Americans".
If only you were able to see the problem with a fundamentally flawed healthcare system that makes everyone pay more, and fines those who can't pay even more, so the state can afford to give free tummy-tucks and nose jobs to selfish communist leeches who'll vote for whoever promises them the most free shit.
If only, if only, if only.
If only you were someone I could reason with.
If only you were able to see that the marxism pushed in schools by leftist politicians and normalized by leftist followers is a problem. An honest, genuine problem.
If only you were able to take some responsibility for the ideology you keep dishonestly defending and lying to protect, and if only you were able to take some responsibility for its misdeeds.
Americans are being raised in Liberal schools to hate whiteness. The anti-white narrative is pushed by you, your politicians, liberal academia, and the liberal media.
It gives us genuine acts of terrorism and hate, like what a certain subhuman feral animal recently did to a certain white baby boy when she pepper sprayed the boy's mother, stole the baby, took him to some train tracks, and set him on fire.
Liberals have normalized a culture of violence and hatred against white people, and they're too addicted to the flavour of "Whitey oppressor, Poclgbtq oppressed, oppressed must RISE UP because whitey OWES US CAKE! REPARATIONS FOR SLAVERY NOW! WE DA ENLIGHTENED GOOD GUYS, DEY DA RACIS BAD GUYS!" kool-aid to acknowledge the role they played in creating this culture and hurting real white people out of genuine racist spiteful bigotry.

It depends on the motivation though. Some gun regulations, are not meant to make gun crime dissapear, but for example to make sure that insecure teenagers with a masculine fixcation on firearms and a huge depression have to jump trough a few more loops before they can get a semit automatic rifle. If those regulations are effective in that, is definetly worth a discussion.
Logic and reason, two pillars of the western society you loathe, don't seem to work on you. Every source I post that goes against the narrative you believe is a source you ignore out of spite. Every argument I make is one you forget about when you're done trying to weasel out of it so you don't have to think too hard about it. Liberal talk shows are designed to brainwash people and condition them to associate non-liberal opinions with derisive laughter from the crowd and the talk show host, and therefore, inherent wrongness. Maybe if I try things another way, I can get through to you! Ah-heh-hem...
*pewdiepie voice* "Oh, oh, I'm so moral, you guys! I'm so fucking moral, look at me! I'm Just Starting A Discussion! And this is Worth A Discussion because I honestly believe I'm helping! It doesn't even matter if I insult everyone and make an ass of myself, because I have good intentions and I got good people talking about the harassment of women in gaming- I mean the shooting of children!"
Sht't'fk'p! Jesus christ, how many children have to die in school shootings before you understand that gun-grabbing helps nobody, gun-free zones don't work, and you aren't actually making life harder on criminals and school shooters by trying to spitefully fuck Bubba McWhiteperson over? Kids don't apply for and get their own guns, they steal the guns of their parents or buy them on the black market, bypassing all the restrictions and laws you could ever make over this! Criminals don't obey the law, that's what makes them criminals! And do you know what schools are? They are gun-free zones!
If gun-free zones worked, there would never be any school shootings ever!
"Gun Control" doesn't work. It disarms good people and makes it harder for good people to get good weapons so they can defend themselves in case of home invasion/mugging, stop any rapes they might stumble upon, and fight back against any terrorists or other criminals that attack. Liberalism is a failure for many reasons, but one of them is its determination to try and take away our guns away for stupid reasons they'll never stop considering more valid than facts posted by "Alt-right sources" like the yearly FBI gun violence statistics.
*Pewdiepie voice* "But felix, nobody wants to take your guns away!"
Oh yeah?
