38. The Willie Horton ad was racist

It is widely acknowledged during modern times that the ad was racist. Trump had a racist ad during the midterms about the Caravan which was compared to the Willie Horton ad that backfired on them. This isn't the 80s when we were less diverse far more conservative where politicians could get away with dog whistles & subtle racism. Trump says "Kung Flu" the media is not afraid to label it racism. Trump says Pocohontas the media labels it racist every time.

Defund the police is really a nuanced position. When you explain how policing works and all the tasks they do many of which are not crime related. Police budgets make up a large portion of city budgets and a lot of the problems could be better solved by investments. Instead of having police watch the homeless you can invest in programs to help. This is more of a local issue rather than a national one.

This person has good suggestions from a legal perspective.
