1. Contrast this with "Defund the Police"

Dec 2020

a slogan uttered by loosely connected activists to the Democratic party. Democratic leaders, including President Obama and President-Elect Biden, chided Democrats for this slogan, something that no Democratic candidate actually ran on. It was seen as the biggest reason why Democrats lost down-ballot races.

Yet, a Republican senate candidate can pose for a picture with an avowed KKK/Nazi figure and....nothing. Nothing at all.

This politcal dichotomy needs to be soberly addressed when one party gets away with everything and the other party gets tarnished for everything.
