This is true. If Joe Biden had said "fund the police" in the 2022 state of the union and attempted to pass a draconian border bill in 2024, Democrats would be reaping all the spoils of moderation.

I think that if Democrats cede some ground on policing and guns and adapt an extremely aggressive anti-crime stance rhetorically and policy-wise, with moderation on immigration policy (not Trump-level, but to the right of Biden), they could probably recoup some electoral ground culturally.

This must be spooky as fuck.
Its gonna work this time.
Lucy, is that you?
Trust me.
Republican-Lite.
Less filling. Great taste.
Why are people still thinking like this in 2025
One more lane never improves traffic flow and moving a little more to the right never improves society.
Its such lazy analysis that assumes a world that didn't happen (basically Jesse Singal's whole anti-trans bit).
Biden should have said reform the police and then lay out a plan for investment, accountability, and community service.
We have moved from Policing to Law Enforcement which are two different philosophies.
It’s almost as if no matter what democrats do they will always be criticized/demonized while the republicans get away with literal murder 🥲
I often wonder if I live on the same planet as these people.
(except for the Republican party - who mostly run ads with their AR-15s shootings stuff )
In reality - Chris Murphy, the supposed Dem lead negotiator on the draconian law, admitted that "we followed the Republicans' instructions to the letter"
Me: but Michael that's what they-- ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
Sounds like a fancy way to say racism or sexism.
S/o Gavin Newsom and his incel 13 yo

so sorry to stay that automatically makes her super woke
And if by chance she is not white, that makes her the most woke candidate who has ever woked
she might as well talk like a Charlie Brown teacher for as little as anything else matters to these idiots.
