Really trying to snatch that defeat
I love this strategy, totally repulse the younger gens of centrism and try and suck all of the boomers out of the GOP. That won't backfire in less than 10 years for the neolibs at all.
It's like, I remember around 2008-2010, libs were talking breathlessly about how Democrats would rule for 1,000 years because they had all the growing demographics (young people and Hispanic voters) while Republicans were all old and white - the shrinking demographics.
Fast forward 10 years, and both parties are fighting tooth and nail for the old & white demographic and telling young people and Hispanics to go fuck themselves.
They looked at what they'd have to do to get those young and Hispanic votes and went for dumpster diving outside the Villages' cafeteria instead.
It's just the Clintonian Third Way all over again. Triangulating your way into the presidency while simultaneously completely demoralizing your base and paving the way for an ever-more resurgent right. This shit has not changed at all.
In Toronto, calls for a 10% reduction in police budget were rejected and replaced with approving new funds (about 6% budget increase) to implement body cameras, which have been shown to not reduce violence.
So yes, liberals want to reform police by giving them more money.
It is incredible that he's trying to pander to both the right and the left at the same time, and simply failing miserably. I can't wait to see the election results, the tears will water the Earth until it turns into a flood.
They're really trying to claim he's the most progressive candidate and go for endorsements from billionaires, war criminals, and/or Republicans at the same time
If libs analysed things in a systemic, class based way, they wouldn’t be libs lol
So completely sick of this shit. They parade around a fucking circus of war criminals and republicans to go on about how good a person and how experienced a politician Joe Biden is. How are these spineless cunts going to spend 4 nights talking about how important justice is and compare the BLM protests to the civil rights movement and then have their nominee a day later talk about increasing funding to the police. Fuck these cunts.
In Dante's Inferno, Republicans would be the miserable fucks getting gnashed in the teeth of Satan himself, and Democrats would be the ones frozen in the ice of the ninth layer of Hell.
according to poll wonk nate bronze, 50% of dems actually support defunding the police. And 45% of black respondents support it v 28% oppose. So in addition to being another giant fuck you to black activists, this is statistically not even a good choice on paper.
Like Hillary would have just said some wishy washy shit that sounded good that meant nothing but never took a stand, and it would have been the right choice for a soulless ghoul who is trying to win. You cannot convince me this whole election isn't just to ratchet the dems to the right as much as possible with no regard to winning.
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
