(1,351 posts)But let me start with the first one that pops into my head: defund the police. Worst messaging ever,
I already mentioned a couple other examples in my post: crucifying one of our most powerful assets in the Senate, Al Franken, without even scratching the surface of the allegations against him. What was the message? Democrats dont care about innocent until proven guilty and will turn on their backs on a decent man so they dont risk being tainted. Thats not strength, thats cowardice.
Remember how many Democrats ran away from Obama in the 2010 midterms? They (wrongfully) assumed talking about their support for Obamacare would hurt them. Howd that work out?
Joe Bidens elaborating on the need to heal the nation in direct response to a question from the press about whether or not the DOJ under the Biden administration would go after corruption and crimes in the Trump Administration.
You may well, thats not what he meant, or defund the police doesnt mean to abolish the police
When youre stuck explaining what you mean, youre losing.
