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 …

They will never stop. You can't change their minds. Too much money is on the line. The only way to fix this is to replace them.

Even if they want it its not at all something they can achieve. Focusing at all on that as an issue will prevent you from developing an actually meaningful response to the issue of Rs painting otherwise acceptable democrats with toxic policy

The real issue is making that distinction (between party and activists) CLEAR enough that Democrats could be elected in the rural South.

They also have no power over activists, so its only purpose is to signal how smart and pragmatist they are for disapproving of it, and shift all blame for losing away from themselves and onto the left. If they really wanted to improve, they'd focus on that instead of whining.

Instead, you can just point to whatever Republicans are screaming about at a given time and say "see, if only BLM/antifa/socialists didn't exist, we'd have won" Well guess what, that's not changing! So even if you believe it, I guess you'd better figure something out, huh!!

And the core reason why Dems have not taken advantage of the many opportunities they've been given, at both the state and federal level, to help unions get more power.

I don't think that's true, Jeet. I think the party wants to not be conflated with the activists, which is what the Republicans have explicitly tried to cause to happen.

Not only that, it’s patently ridiculous. The activist take those positions because of real problems. George Floyd death didnt happen in a suburban swing district to a white man. It happened to black man in his dark blue one. These guys want you consider the impact on the former
