When a store owner defends himself against a criminal, Democrats want to prosecute the store owner. This includes Alvin Bragg in NYC.
Meanwhile Berkeley law hired Chesa Boudin. |
Normal people don’t care about the new job of a old prosecutor 3,000 miles away. |
I think that’s only Alvin Bragg. BTW, can you not see that this anger is being spoon fed to you? This is how the right wing controls you, gets your money and keeps you animated. |
+1 I didn't even remember who that was. It's the Republican swamp mind that's collecting and tracking these people with a rabid obsession. Normal people are thinking about dinner plans for the weekend. |

I think there is a fair argument to make that Democrats were pushing unpopular policies WRT crime for a few years - ones that were pretty out of touch. I think that's largely ended. Rs are still trying to argue that they're the ones who are tough on crime, while idolizing vigilantes who kill fellow citizens and while trying to put as many guns out on the street as possible. Dems seems to have learned their/our lesson about not being too extreme on the crime issue - Rs are still full bore ahead. |
GOP can’t course correct. It’s fascinating to watch them get worse. |
He's posted some even worse things: https://twitter.com/JoeyMannarinoUS/status/1662817741689040896 |
I think both major parties are terminally out of touch, just in different ways. If you had to ask me what I think normal people care about:
- Some form of abortion rights but not in third trimester. - Access to birth control. - Generally pro-educator and pro-school but still somewhat frustrated about impact of school closures, worried about quality of education (perceived decline), and do not like interjection of teachers/administrators between parents and kids. Don’t want explicit sexual material in elementary and middle schools, but think book bans are stupid. - Generally pro-labor - Okay with some gun control like red flag laws and assault rifle limits but not full bans. Very upset and worried about school shootings and moving more towards hardened pro-gun-control positions. - Think transwomen in women’s sports and particularly teen trans girls in teen girls sports is immoral, risky to the safety of the girls, and selfish. Skeptical about gender affirming medical care for kids. But also don’t think trans people should be discriminated against in jobs & housing. - Worried about sharp increases in crime and homelessness/vagrancy. - Are horrified by death of George Floyd and police violence, but also think “defund the police” is ridiculous - Are very worried about cost of housing and medical care. |
third trimester abortions are a red herring - they ONLY happen in the absolute worst of circumstances and are VERY hard to access. The people having to get them are already traumatized, and it just adds to it to be made to feel like criminals
Costs of medical care? I mean, we have allowed the costs to skyrocket. Other first world countries seem to have figured this out. We know the answer, but no one is willing to do it. |
I agree it’s a red herring. But people don’t like the concept. |
