MODERATORS
It's a controversial statement when it's the closest we've been able to come to anything resembling police reform, and is frankly insultingly little after everything that has transpired around those sorts of issues. If you don't like how angry I am about it, I'm sorry to tell you that telling me not to be angry isn't going to make me less so. I'm far more pissed off now that everyone has woken up to attack me for criticizing the party I was already going to vote for because I had the gall to call it like I saw it than the mild disgruntlement I was experiencing when I made the first comment.
Fucking rise up like this to demand better from Dems, folks!
.
Republicans HAVE NOT stopped Dems from being able to message and signal around this issue to their heart's content, and try to stir up more public support. They DID NOT force Biden to boil all that down to nothing more than calling for more police funding and then shutting the fuck up about the topic until we got close to an election.
Because I may as well be advocating for Trump to get elected the way some folks are reacting
Possibly the oldest insult on the internet aside from asking someone if they are twelve. God forbid folks be passionate about something.
