[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Democrats do not support crime victims.[/quote] Sadly true. It will be a factor in the elections. Defunding law enforcement, reducing direct penalties for criminal behavior (lenient sentences) and reducing collateral consequences (no asking about criminal histories in employment applications), all paint the Democrats at large as soft on (if not actively effectively encouraging) crime. It's a real issue for many people, and at best a controversial hill on which to take a stand. If Democrats limited themselves to trying to address root causes, like the lack of intact familiies, way too many thoughtless births by parents incapable of raising their children responsibly, cultural forces which devalue eduation which enables good employment, etc., and spent less time suggesting that criminals bear no or very little personal responsibility for their actions, the party would rightly have much broader appeal than it does.
