    You’re getting down voted because we have a two-party system and anything negative against Democrats puts us at risk.

    But you’re not wrong. The Democrats are still center or center-right, and they’re definitely still pro police and think that increasing police capacity somehow decreases crime. There are a couple notable exceptions, but generally that’s the case.

      The only risk to democrats is if the president loses. Everybody else is fair game. And Eric Adams is surprisingly not the worst politician in office in the US, but he’s pretty fucking close.
