“Hate has no place in our communities, and the New York State Democratic Party unequivocally condemns this shameful and inappropriate act,” the statement said. “We encourage New Yorkers across the political spectrum to denounce hate in all its forms.”
If you want to denounce hate maybe focus on the nazi-like behavior instead of the extremely mild “vandalism” of pointing that out. I think it was just signs taped, so that’s all of five minutes to clean up.
To be clear, Republicans are the worst. The Democrats just… disappoint.
They need to work on their doublespeak. Maybe something like:
The Democratic Party is appalled by the sad state of our nation, that individuals would need to resort to such charged and shocking language. We can do better. Democrats can do better. Americans can do better. We are better than this. Use your voice, use your wallet, use your influence to fight the wave of hatred that has enveloped our free and lawful nation.
Hey that’s pretty good. If you do it just right, you can make it look like a condemnation while also supporting it and calling for stochastic anti-nazi violence.
First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

Democrats are so disappointing

Isn’t this “vandalism” not denouncing hate?

In 2018, someone fired six bullets into the Albany Democratic Party headquarters’ front window. I don’t recall a single Republican denouncing the act.
They were busy at the time.
Yeah, reloading.
