      when did the centrists get together and have a meeting and decide "START A CRIME PANIC" was smart politics

      It's interesting that the Larry Krasner victory in primaries hasn't made a dent in this thinking.

          It isn't thinking, it's wishing. they wanted him to lose, had the whole narrative teed up, ran with it anyway

          They’re banking on fooling everyone all the time, if the budget is big enough and the advice is good.

          The purpose of these outlets is to set a narrative that produces a desired ideological outcome, not describe what's actually happening

          don't you think Larry Krasner won because he convinced the people of Philadelphia that his approach addresses crime? not believable that voters stopped caring about crime tbh.

          Of course progressives are going to win in Philadelphia. But the increase in homicides is going to be used by the GOP to help win back the suburbs in future statewide elections. And even if they don't succeed, an increase in homicides is *bad* and should not be played down.
