Democrats are against ending qualified immunity, for bringing back cash bail, against reparations. Why should Black folks vote for them?

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

BLM as a concept was fine

BLM as an NGO/Non-Profit funded by dark money with nefarious ulterior motives was NOT

All Lives Matter was a dumb CAC response to Black people telling the rest of the country that we're not being treated like citizens who are entitled to equal protection under the law in this country.

BLM was a bad phrase and it’s ok to admit this in hindsight. Thats how you grow and learn from your mistakes. You have to be unimpeachable even in the midst of bad faith actors. Doubling down just hurts you in the long run.

Am I saying that the “I AM A MAN” slogan didn’t have critics? No. But its harder to come up with the antithesis to this phrase than it is “BLM"

you mean trash centrist dems


look for real leftists

Are leftists pro crime?

And before you answer, you should ask yourself why it’s not clear whether or not leftists are pro-crime.

 

[Ski Mask]

The party cant afford to support the policing issue anymore, being anti police brutality is woke now, so now the decades of calling it out is going to be swept under the rug and dems are gonna act like the justice system is only unfair towards criminals.

 

[Rekkapryde]

What's republicans views on police?

we already know

 

[JamesJabdi]

So there are no government programs that offer things for the people? Or are you just talking about cash payments and land?

If they give you 1 dollar meanwhile they took 2 did they help you?

 

[⠀X ⠀]

My political brehs know more than I do, this should be the dems number 1 talking point no? Seems easy

They gotta appeal to white liberals. They ain’t really all that liberals, when it comes to policing people. Especially Black people.

When you give up your safety for freedom, you deserve neither.


This sounds like some narrative from authoritarian china.

@Pull Up the Roots wasn’t this guy one of china’s biggest supporters on here?

I wish people would get up off this let's give the state unlimited power and no guard rails and let them do whatever they want to the civilian population.

If you believe this, you better be very pro guns at least

Well, unless capitalism is eradicated, some concessions are going to have to be made. You can't have a hands-free approach to crime and not have the appropriate mandates to prevent it. We never have enough political capital on the Hill to do what is necessary since these GOPers sabotage our messaging.

Black American rights have always been eroded, Jim Crow, Redlining, War on Drugs, and whatever else these cacs come up with tor us.

Better to deal with the devil you know than any 3rd party or MAGA...

 

[Left.A1]

You “defund the police” guys lost the narrative. People dont want anarchy.

No one wants to tolerate dysfunction in any form. Period. No excuses either. Most black communities also support GOOD law enforcement. No one supports “no police”.

And before you evade addressing directly what I said:* I’m not black.

Fixed you know better Hasheesh

BLM was a perfect slogan because it did not exclude women.

Once white progressives got ahold of it it became a rest haven for the alphabets and other CAC based movements.

 

[Left.A1]

People took George Floyd's death to allow total lawlessness. The country saw this modern day lynching and decided to make changes the wrong way, by being hands off with all crimes, this unfortunately was in mostly Blue Coastal cities.

The narrative Dems push is that it is better to let 100 guilty men go free than punish one innocent man.

Soft on crime makes us look bad...nothing wrong with putting the boot up someone's ass who deserves it....

That being said, Dems are a better choice than MAGA fakkits!!!!

Crime rose everywhere during the pandemic, not just “blue costal cities”

this is of course moronic maga babble promoting police brutality.…. I understand why Hasheesh does this gimmick as he's not black.… but whats you're excuse?

Except it’s not really that easy. The reason for qualified immunity is that you do not want cops second guessing or hesitating when they need to use force to stop someone from killing innocent people or other police officers. Imagine if you were a innocent person and someone had a gun to your head and a cop wanted to shoot the guy but hesitated a few seconds too late because he was scared to be prosecuted. That’s the argument for qualified immunity. It’s not so black and white

The anti police shyt only appeals to very progressive people. The majority of folks want stronger police presence and are very anti crime. The abolish police shyt one of the reasons why everyone is so anti woke now.

Yeah that’s not good enough for me. I see how racists would use that to justify this though.

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Who should we vote for, then?

 

[Turtle]

I’m watching this nyc mayoral debate and these dems are against defunding the police, for bringing back cash bail, etc. They are fine with sacrificing poor Black folks born into dysfunction to the system. But they are FOR abolishing ICE and protecting immigrants from deportations. Why in the fukk should Black folks vote for this

Damn I guess the police in NYC only arrest black people now

Go ask a Republican what they rather do for black people instead and get back to me
