Democratic politicians supported the proliferation of law enforcement, on public transportation, in schools, even inside homes, a move that has only served to increase the number of people killed by police. Democratic policies are what first empowered the police to become a violent force against the left and in deference to Trump. What Trump understands is that the glory, power, and social currency of the police serve as the backbone for authoritarianism in the United States. It is a militaristic, hyper masculine system which is impervious to change and maddeningly difficult to monitor.
it was NOT the democratic policies that first empowered the police to become a violent force against the left and in deference to Trump. it was their own immoral, unjust, violent actions that created the problem. corrupt people themselfs are the problem .
Biden’s answer to the defund the police movement was to insist on funding the police even harder as if that has ever solved anything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9XkWRLpJmY
This is the moment I knew Biden was exactly who he said he was for decades. Old racist man who thinks police beating black people is the natural way of doing things.
This seems to be the next “talking point” after “genocide joe” - somehow Trump’s actions are the democrat’s fault!
Don’t fall for it. We need to unite and support the one viable alternative to Republican power expansion, not quibble and bicker over “leftist” vs “progressive” vs “liberal” vs “centrist” and how the Democrats aren’t pure or perfect enough.
And wind up right back here in another election.
Now is the chance to reform and fight back. Not to die defending a failing status quo.
Nah their silence says it all. The vast majority of democrats are clearly content with this shit show. I’m not voting to help democrat donors anymore, they can either help working class people or die as far as I care.
the far left/right collab to take down the dems is quite something
Nah, it’s long past time to abandon the Democratic establishment. If we need a political party, make it a workers party. If we want to help, we need to build community.
We are repeating history with another Guilded age. And we need a true peoples party to rise up and fight for all workers. Solidarity of the working class can pull people out of this.
Fight for your neighbors, for your struggles are more aligned than you realize.
Fight for yourself, because the established parties stopped fighting for you decades ago.
Focus on what matters. An egg for every pan.
You’re right. Democrats are absolutely perfect at all times and we should never question them no matter what they do.
Seems you have a reading problem Crab, I didn’t see them say that at all.
Is there any criticism of the democratic party you won’t dismiss as talking points, then?
Of course there is, they’re a bunch of milquetoast centrsts more interested helping themselves than regular people.
The other commenter never implied they were perfect as you interpreted it.
Of course there is, they’re a bunch of milquetoast centrsts more interested helping themselves than regular people.
So why should we pretend otherwise?
I’m not here to debate a bad faith troll Crab. It’s Saturday morning and I have a bunch of stuff to do.
Try not to put words in other peoples mouths, you’re smarter than that and can argue without misrepresenting what they said.
Yeah stop talking about how biden supported genocide, the police state, attacks on refugees, etc.
We gotta stop the other team from doing the same thing!!!
(And then y’all blame the voters when you lose.)
Guessing you’re behind one of those <1%ers like Jill Stein?
Jill Stein is pretty cool though. I wouldn’t vote for her, but I think she has some great points to make. It’ll be interesting what the Green Party does now.
1%, 49%, its still a loss either way. You trying to feel smug about that? I guess you voted for genocide and STILL lost? How do you feel? And remember, this is for posterity so… be honest.
Democrats have always laid the foundation for Republican oppression, then claim to oppose that oppression when it happens. Someone like Trump will weaponize the police that Biden militarized. All of a sudden liberals will become aware of the 60+ cop cities across the country
Im guessing you weren’t an adult in 1996, would that be accurate?
And you would be way off. Democrats have been militarizing the police for decades.
The Omnibus Crime Bill was popular on both sides and was celebrated by the GOP. Framing it as if it was all Biden is a stretch.
If there’s a single bill that’s been drafted over the last 40 years that has been an invasion of our privacy or have restricted our rights, it’s got Democrat fingerprints on it, and in many cases, Biden specifically.
I’m just curious: can you name a single bad thing that Donald Trump has done?
Everyone to your left is a trumper.
You calling yourself a Trumper?
“I assume you are younger than me and are therefore wrong” - boomers who made this mess.
No I would presume they have no context of the time period given how ignorant of a take they have on that time period. If they weren’t an adult then it would make sense to not realize how stupid their claim is.

And you base that assumption on them not agreeing with you.
If they weren’t an adult then it would make sense to not realize how stupid their claim is.
As opposed to your assumption that anyone who doesn’t immediately accept your boomer “wisdom” as gospel must be a child.
No, I base that on how remarkably ignorant placing the entirety of the 1996 crime bill on Biden is because I was a voting adult who read the news back then. People who weren’t adults back then don’t have the context of that time period that people who were adults then are going to have.
No matter how wounded your ego might be by the suggestion you are never going to have an informed perspective on time periods you weren’t around for compared to those who were.

Sounds like a convenient way to win an argument by dubious virtue of being old.
No, it’s the difference between real life experience and reading about the same event in a book.
