The "opinion" article is based on the idea that most Democrats don't want to disband police forces, but re-organize responsibilities and services. AOC disagrees. And you took the logical leap to assume that most Dems want to disband police? You don't sound like a thoughtful poster at all. You do know that Biden wants AOC to be part of his administration? Are you ignoring Omar? I'm not. 1 Link to comment

It still boggles my mind that these morons are soooooooo dug into the hole that they just won't change the word.

I tried but his explanations tend to be rambling, incoherent...you know, the thing. If Biden wasn't a blow with the wind politician that never had an original thought, and had strong convictions I would listen to what Biden says. He is not and I don't believe he has the ability to fend off the far left. 1 2 Link to comment

Remember, Biden doesn't work for you. So, yes, you're going with the old "They're gonna take our guns!!" fake outrage. Even if Biden somehow succeeded in taking away the AR-15, that would only remove 1 firearm out of thousands of different types. Of course Biden doesn't work for us, he's taking millions to billions from rich people and corporation. You know, just like Trump and the Republicans. Plus Repubs are taking from gun manufacturers, so take maybe take their motives with a HUGE grain of salt. 3 minutes ago, 4skers89 said: You do know that Biden wants AOC to be part of his administration?
