    There you go being an edge lord again. Democrats don’t want to reduce death. If so they’d give up their guns since that’s where most the violence comes from. Blue cities are where most the murders happen.

      There you go being a child again. Somebody questioned your beliefs so you had to resort to insults, because your arguments are lacking.

      Democrats don’t want to reduce death.

      Sure we do. My intention with my voting is to reduce deaths.

      If so they’d give up their guns since that’s where most the violence comes from.

      That’s not how it works. This is not just a personal decision, it is a systemic problem.

      Blue cities are where most the murders happen.

      Because there is more people there. You can’t have murders if there aren’t people in an area.

        It’s not an insult. It’s what you are doing. You didn’t question a thing. You went full edge lord.

        Because there is more people there. You can’t have murders if there aren’t people in an area

        How to say you don’t understand murder statistics. It’s done by a ratio per 100k. Democrat runs cities have massive problems with people killing each other.

        Why I live in red areas. I don’t want to deal with the crime and violence. When we have it creep into our area, the police come and crush it as they should.

          Cool. I’ll keep that in mind going forward, and I’ll be ready to call others edge lords the moment they say something dumb.

          How to say you don’t understand murder statistics.

          I am aware statistics use per capita measurements.

          It’s done by a ratio per 100k

          And here is where your argument falls apart. You aren’t accounting for population density, which effects crime and homicide rates. If nobody interacts with one another because they’re in the middle of nowhere, they can’t kill each other.

          When we have it creep into our area, the police come and crush it as they should.

          That and the acorns. Jokes aside, you are an edge lord for saying this. Normal people don’t fetishize cops like this.

            Cite for that. That sounds like something you made up.

            That isn’t an edge lord comment. That’s what we pay the police to do. Their job is to remove the criminal element from society. Democrats tolerate murder and celebrate it. Republicans want to live in a crime free society.

              You’re asking me to prove that you can’t homicide somebody that doesn’t exist.

              Their job is to remove the criminal element from society.

              This is just more edge lord fetishization of the police.

              Democrats tolerate murder and celebrate it.

              That is not true.

              I’d ask you in earnest to provide a citation, but you’re not here for honest discussion.

              /u/blamemeta, are you going to call winter out for treating democrats as a monolith, or will this double standard continue?

              Republicans want to live in a crime free society.

              Yet you guys are doing everything in your power to kill public education, social welfare, and the vertical mobility of Americans. You guys don’t care about crime except when it is convenient, and you can ignore your own contributions to crime.

                Easy enough.

                Democrats are pushing to defund the police which has caused a large spike in crime.

                  Easy enough

                  “Majority of democrats pressure singular democrat over widely misunderstood phrase” equates to democrats celebrating murder? What a joke.

                  • Pointing to a single democrat does not represent all democrats

                  • The article itself states that she is in the minority position, even amongst democrats, further making her a bad representation of democrats on this issue

                  • “Defund the police” is widely misunderstood as a phrase

                  • Even if she literally meant “no police should exist” instead of the much more common meaning, that statement is not a celebration of crime or murder

                  So you’ve failed on multiple levels. Great job ignoring the rest of what I said though.

                    Defund the police" is widely misunderstood as a phrase

                    From Google:

                    defund v prevent (a group or organization) from continuing to receive funds

                    Words have meaning. Using words to represent new meanings breaks down our ability to communicate and think.

                    If Democrats didn’t want to mislead people, they shouldn’t have started using this “phrase” (Sorry it’s a slogan not a phrase. Again, words have definitions).

                    Water isn’t wet in science. So yes. I’d expect them to cite misinformation.

                    https://www.sciencefocus.com/science/is-water-wet

                    Rest of what you said was babble.

                    Democrats support crime. Most criminals are democrats. Democrats have destroyed most police departments with their hostile action. Major cities can’t hire officers because of the democrats.

                    No cash bail? That’s the democrats.

                    Police work to reduce crime and it’s why I support funding the police and strong prison sentences.
