Democratic Whip James Clyburn: 'Defund the police' cost Democrats seats

[LetMyPeopleVote]

173. Do you tire of being wrong?

I am amused that you disagreed with the sourcing of the prior post which was discussing the GOP plans to run ads attacking good Democrats using the bogus "defund the police" slogan. The GOP is a good source for looking at the GOP plans. Again thank you the laughs

The GOP is using ads based on the bogus and moronic defund the police slogan in the real world. I am sad that you are unable to deal with the facts here https://apnews.com/article/politics-republicans-democrats-police-defund-crime-murder-a3f94cba375d526040763350c9acbc28

As rising murder rates gain attention in American cities, Republicans have ramped up a misleading campaign to cast Democrats as anti-police and lax on public safety. It’s a message they believe helped them stave off greater Democratic gains in last year’s elections and one with renewed potency as cities consider cuts to department budgets as part of an effort to revamp policing.....

It also includes Democratic Rep. Angie Craig of Minnesota, who beat Kistner in 2020 and represents the Minneapolis and St. Paul suburbs where rioting broke out last year after Floyd’s death.

Since then, several cities have struggled with the police funding debate, while experiencing rising gun violence.

The NRCC chair, U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota, said he believes the message will resonate with voters because “crime is rising in America, yet Democrats still support the dangerous idea of defunding the police.”

I was pleased to see that the George Floyd bill passed by the House did not pander to the squad or the moronic "defund the police" slogan.

The poll also found that about 6 in 10 Americans oppose reducing funding for law enforcement agencies.

The Democrats’ policing bill passed the U.S. House without a single GOP vote. It would ban chokeholds and end qualified immunity from lawsuits against police officers, while creating national policing standards in an effort to bolster accountability.

The bill does not back defunding police departments, and Democrats didn’t even debate the idea, in part because swing-district representatives such as U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., who opposes defunding police, raised concerns about the political backlash.

I am glad that the party is listening to an intelligent Democrat like Spanberger and ignored the squad

Again no intelligent democratic candidate will support a stupid policy like "defund the police" and it seems that the party is rejecting the moronic position of the squad on this issue and is listening to an intelligent Democrat like Spanberger
