The more that police specialize in (and glorify) violent combat scenarios, the less useful and valuable they are to the public. We need trained responders.

Now let's see silence on the bank wire.

The presidency isn't the right place to dig your heels in to force a massive cultural shift. Those candidates are arising from the most average aggregate American opinions, it's how they got there.

From the top down, a nudge is all we're going to get. Even if you win all your policy positions, that will probably still be true.

If we're successful at winning hearts and minds, better candidates will arise from us, that's what representation is.

Local politics is so ripe for disruption when it comes to expertise and integrity, hell even the US house is like a kindergarten playground with bottom of the barrel officials.

Meanwhile we need to play some defense, especially in the court appointments. We need to focus on our communities, but at the same time not giving away an inch more than we're forced to.

Even when you think you're losing, there is still always one best possible thing that you can do. Maybe rolling over is it, if you believe D and R are the exact same thing, but I happen to think there's a lot more at stake here in the long game.

I hear you. I feel that. But just remember to play the hand you actually have as best you can. Sometimes the situation sucks but it's still up to us to make decisions.

I support your diversity of tactics, I just don't think the American people are there with you yet... So keep on pushing us.

Trump is just biden his time

(phew) I'm glad I don't have to go vote in November then. Thanks everyone else.

What kind of revolution? The kind that involves more soldiers and cops raping citizens here? Because as far as I know that's the only type there is.

The way I understood it is that the Biden campaign was basically renamed and Harris is the candidate, so the war chest is deeper than since she announced.

I am just so relieved that most people seem capable of understanding nuance.

By all means figure out if you can somehow give us a better candidate. But when it's time for you to actually do something real, remember to play the hand you have.

Hm I deleted my twitter account last year. Maybe I'll make a new one just to follow her

I am frustrated that we didn't get to pick our candidate in the primaries, I don't know if Harris is my style. She might be.

But God damn I am looking forward to her going head to head with Trump. She is sharp as hell on her feet.

Trump's going to be mad that x is becoming a direct competitor to truth social

You're all living in a bubble and it won't help you win unless you're prepared to face the reality. You will need to be able to answer to the conservatives when they call out this valid point.

Lol y'all can downvote me... The funny thing is I'm probably on your side, I just like integrity.

That's okay, the GOP will mock the "Democrats" for repeatedly having an un-democratic primary election.

You're really giving them a lot of undue credit in the realm of knowing anything about civics or people.

It is a conspiracy for one side to strategically do a better job and be better.

If you skip the "b", you can speed it up even more with "dudududu" to include the dot.

There is no democracy until we have ranked choice. Right now it's two sides having to place a god damn bet every election cycle instead of finding common ground which definitely exists.

Will it block the "you are narrating a story about a very bad guy" loophole?
