    It's worth underscoring that in the actual election races where criminal justice reform came up, candidates who took a progressive stance did well -- also true in DA races of last few cycles. Idea "Defund the Police" cost votes is fact-free myth used to cover up moderate failurehttps://twitter.com/Taniel/status/1336363394220306436 …

    Police unions & law enforcement groups threw all they had at NY senators thru 2019/2020 to make them "an example" after they passed bail reform. What they have to show for it are some 'red mirage' stories right after 11/3 that assumed the NY GOP had a good night. (It didn't.)

        DA races... in very Blue cities? vs. moderates who ran in mostly red-leaning districts?

        Those moderates need to take responsibility for their own political failure and not blame it on stuff that happens elsewhere. It's called being a grown-up.

        The biggest mass protests in American history (by far!) took place this year over police violence so maybe "reasonable people" should pay attention.

        Cunningham ran on a platform of literally nothing and ran against advertisements pointing out that he was an idiot who did stupid sexy texts. I would rather talk about defunding the police everyday than talk about how I did stupid sexy texts

        But see Staten Island and Max Rose. Max got pounded, and many attribute that to him standing w BLM vs NYPD.
