Proud Boys destroying Portland

[DMC]

you have to admit that the word "defund" was poorly chosen by the democrats. Now, Republicans think and promote the idea that democrats want to take funding out of the police, which would lead to more violence.

Odd that "defund" makes someone think of defunding.

[DMC]

It's a dumb phrase but it wasn't really chosen by Democrats... it was a rallying cry that got picked up by Republicans and branded as mainstream Democrat policy despite having about 20% approval among Dems. Still, it was stupid and Democrat leaders should have done more to distance from it. Conservatives are much better at branding policy. Republicans don't call it "Defund the Children" when they threaten to pull funds from schools over mask mandates.

But places like Seattle where police budget reform has been discussed but not implemented still get branded as cities who have "defunded the police" by conservatives who either don't know better or who are simply lying altogether. Something else they're better at.

"It was a rallying cry"

By whom?

"It was a rallying cry"

By whom?

By protestors like the ones in your photo. Is there something else behind the question?

You separated those people from democrats. Why would you do that? Do you think they voted for Trump? "It wasn't really chosen by democrats"... who are those people if not democrats?

False dilemma. The protesters may skew Democrat over Republican but many of them are likely also non-voters or third party voters, so it's unnecessary and technically inaccurate to call them Democrats. For example, here's a bunch of protestors shouting down a Democrat mayor for saying he did not agree with defunding the police.

Point being, "Defund the Police" wasn't some campaign slogan by the Democratic Party so criticizing it as though it was some strategic blunder on the part of Democrat candidates misrepresents its origin. I know that's less fun for partisan scorekeepers, but that's the reality.

Should just run all these losers over and rid the world of all these ing pussies already!

You don't know who votes and who doesn't, so based on your reasoning above then no one is a democrat or republican until the vote.

It was presented by democrats. Spin that how you like, you seem to like using double standards.

It was a blunder by the democrats. When the dust settles you have the democrats or the republicans, and you'd have no issues associating something so stupid with the republicans if some fringe group marched around with it.

True.

False.

I refer you back to your first sentence.

True.

Unsubstantiated.

You just can't stand nuance. There's no obligation to refer to a group of young, black protestors as "Democrats" when "protestors" accurately describes all of them without caveat. You're just an unhappy person desperate for internet web forum victories to distract from your lack of a social life.

They have yet to have that same energy for these thugs burning Portland to the ground.

[DMC]

True.



False.

True.

You're using the "don't know until they vote" to determine democrat or not, but you don't have to vote to be a democrat nor a republican and since you don't know who votes and who doesn't, why do you allow that only the democrats have the luxury of denying membership sans known vote? You don't get to cherry pick that.

There's no nuance here. It's you flip flopping around trying to bob and weave through already landed punches and then pretending you weren't hit. I'd hate to see you in paintball.

You're hyperbole isn't reality Shaun Trill King. Keep pushing fake news bro because it's all you know how to do.

Guessing the same energy is lacking because you couldn’t find any videos of them burning Portland to the ground.

Indeed, Portland has never been burned to the ground by anyone.

We agree.

"Portland is burning!" has been a huge talking point for conservatives but they are quiet as mice pissing on cotton over their thugs tearing the city up
