Just about the only thing that could save this for Trump

[Ex Lurker]

Mobs setting up "autonomous zones" and pulling down every statue in sight. All we have to do to win this thing is not give swing voters reason to think we're crazy.

I dont think this alone would make Biden's lead evaporate but it could make it closer than it should be. And you never know what will happen in a close election.

1. I agree 100% pulling down statues that have nothing to

do with the treason of the Confederacy only helps Trump.

2. I totally agree.

Anyone that is approving the anarchy really need to check their values. Taking over property is not the way to gain meaningful police reform. In the end all it does is strengthen police hands. I really wish that people doing such stuff would develop some measure of strategic intelligence, right now they are clueless.

3. If the topic is statues, then Biden should grab the mic and say something.

Anything. I'm sure the media would be all over it. He can easily change the topic if he wants to.

4. And what can we do to stop statues from being pulled down?

I would wager that there isn’t a single, active member of DU involved in pulling down any statue in the United States.

The people are speaking. I think that we should listen, but it’s insane to think that we on DU, or even the Democratic Party, as a whole, can CONTROL what these protesters are doing.

5. You make a good point.

A few small incidents probably will be forgotten by November, but another OWS movement that adds destruction to disruption will alienate some voters.

6. Absolutely right on.

Now Biden has to not only fight the Right, but the Left as well.

Nothing beats an attempt to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory - so dumb.
