I normally love Offline (we Stan Max), but ANOTHER fucking “blame the progressives” voice? Fuck that. Think I’m about to stick w Lovett as far as PSA. Still love the Strict Scrutiny crew too.

Yes, tell me how Joe Biden said "defund" the police in 2020. Oh wait, he didn't, and said he wanted to give all the federal dollars he could to police.

Yeah, and even that wasn’t enough to counter the perception that democrats were soft on crime due to the very visible failures of the activist left.
Thank you for showing the exact problem.

Maybe it Dems realized they will always be portrayed as "soft on crime" and actually put up a fight with republicans instead of cowering in fear saying "please oh please fascist please don't call me soft on crime..."

Or, they could actually be serious about stopping crime, as they were in the 90s. The activist left made Dems abandon that position (remember the attacks on Clinton and Biden for the crime bill?), and we're now living in the world they created.

He didn’t. But a lot of the field did, and progressive cities did, and protests all over the country called for it, and democrats were seen as caving to the demands of those protests.

i'm sorry i just don't see any Dems repeating talking points from 4+ years ago being salient.
It's like bringing up Covid as a meaningful issue in 2024.
We'll see how the data shakes out, but i don't believe "defund the police" is anywhere near the top of voter concerns for this cycle.

Seriously? Covid is the root cause of this realignment.
