Guy Chamberlin Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Well the "Defund the Police!" movement didn't exactly seek the Democrats approval, nor did Black Lives Matter. The Dems tried to walk some of the language and goals back, but never replaced the messaging with something better. They are pretty awful at that. So many opportunities, so many simple ways to say things better. It's baffling. We do know that we're not talking about a short, pithy explanation of the actual policy, right? We are literally talking about the three word catch phrase that sticks in people's brains. 1 Link to comment

Not radically defunding institutions, but reforming and reshaping them to be more efficient and effective. But I digress... Link to comment

I remember reading a couple years ago that Democrats and Republicans were united in one of the most unlikely places: prison and sentencing reform. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/24/us/criminal-justice-reform-republicans-democrats.html Link to comment

How stunning and brave of him to do that to his own party. Can’t believe there isn’t any more pressing issues to criticize his own party about. 1 1 Link to comment

Scarlet Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Because we all know someone saying they wouldn't take a Trump vaccine that he'd try to strong arm through the FDA prior to the election is the same as a vaccine that ultimately went through the proper approval process. And before anyone says Trump didn't do that, no s#!t. But at the time nothing was past him and that's what these types of comments were about 2 3 3 Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 That's a social media catfight between two non-influencial influencers. Who would post that as an example of anything? 1 4 1 Link to comment
