Biden actually ran on giving more money to the police. That was his proposal. If people think the party stands for "defund the police" that is surely a messaging failure, perhaps related to fact core messaging was (understandably) about Trump's unfitness for office. https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1325460402298363904 …

Democratic centrists want not just the power they already have (to dictate the positions the party takes) but also to dictate what outside activists say (you see this in police issues and Palestinian human rights especially). This is an insane & dangerous overreach.

Also 1) you can’t control what activists say; and 2) Rs make up stuff all the time. Dems need effective campaign messaging to push back on those things. Complaining about its existence won’t work

I live in a republican area. "Defund the poloice" is a hit-them-over-the-head issue for republicans.

Spanberger wants Nancy to summarily execute protestors. The irony, of course, is that Spanberger’s comments will actually further this false narrative and make it seem like the Democratic Party is further left than it really is.

How many voters do you think pay any kind of attention to, much less appreciate, distinctions between the platform of the Democratic Party (and it's candidates' positions) and "what someone once said on the tele". Trump voters like Trump. His style, ethos. Details, schetails.

What we keep tip toeing around is white democrats see more legitimacy coming from white republican buy in than from non white folk in their own party. They want to do Clinton 92 forever

Slow down. Arm-wrestling over control of the Democratic Party continues. As it has every year, since basically forever.
