[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It feels like 2024 election will come down to voters who are fed up with rising crime and how there is a lot of shoving performative wokeness soundbytes and virtue signaling down their throats from the last few years vs. keeping abortion legal and the abortion pill.

Basically, it will be people who are over whiny progressives who just let crime happen and excuse it out of “fairness” vs.right wing authoritarian religious types who are trying to outlaw women’s rights.

I wish we could get a pro abortion, low to moderately low tax President and congress, who will legalize drugs and prostitution and push for mass transit and high speed trains, but also push things like rebates for electric cars. Also we would still allow for oil drilling in the interim. We also need gun control, so a President that could honestly enact meaningful gun reform laws would be best.

I mean that’s all a pipe dream, because as has been said we are becoming an increasingly polarized nation of regressive evangelical led book banning imbeciles Vs performatively woke cry babies who find a grievance in everything and are too obese or weak willed to serve in the armed forces.[/quote]

Republicans haven't done anything about rising crime either - crime is way up in Republican-run cities like Jacksonville, Oklahoma City, Miami, Tulsa and many other places.  As for "performative" the right is completely up there with disgusting, whiny and fake performances of their selective outrage du jour, we didn't miss the hilarious face-palm moments like photos of Kid Rock partying with a drag queen that surfaced just days after he shot up cases of Bud Light over LGBT...  If only you could take a step back and look at the big picture to understand how much of the right wing rhetoric is completely fake - it's all distractions, because they don't actually have any solutions to offer anyone.[/quote]

Pp is right that people are fed up with crime and will affect their voting. It will affect both blue and red areas. Why is it either or for you? The politicians are a lot more alike than they are different. Their few differences have to be emphasized but these politicians are 80-95% the same. [/quote]

I'm fed up with crime but I'm also fed up with police playing games.  They lose 10% of their budget to try and fund mental and social services, and they scream "we've been defunded" and enforcement drops 50% because they want people to go clamoring back to them so that they can go back to business as usual, shooting unarmed black people, throwing elderly people to the ground, no knock warrants and every other abuse.[/quote]

🙄 Right, because that’s how the majority of police behave. [/quote]

Check the data.  It's a fact that after the George Floyd protests and during the pandemic, arrests went way down in many cities around the country.  In DC, arrests went down by 48%, as crime increased.  There is NOTHING in terms of police resourcing that can legitimately account for a 48% decrease in arrests.   And as for how police behave, there's a daily barrage of videos showing police behaving inappropriately violent, arrogant, or otherwise belligerent.  Police departments would do well to take 5 minutes at the beginning of every shift to show the latest of these videos as a "what not to do if you don't want to become internet famous as an a-hole cop and likely cost your communities millions of taxpayer funded settlements in cases your department is going to lose because of your stupidity."[/quote]
