Ah yes “defund the police” again. How has that worked out in recent election cycles? I wish Republicans were this committed to infighting.

    Ah yes “defund the police” again. How has that worked out in recent election cycles? What? The police have had no positive material impact in Amerika ever. The police and ICE have done horrible things to people, SPECIFICALLY people of colour for decades with NO FUCKING CONSEQUENCES

    Everyone and their mom is shitting their ass about ICE being around, so it seems making demands of politicians is an infinitely better method of creating political momentum than just rolling over. The genocide in Gaza led to Kamala Harris losing so hard that the Empires continued support for that same genocide turned Texas blue in the next election. Watch it turn red again if the new Democrats down South turn out to be zionists as well.

    Ah yes. I remember that radical anarchist Kamala “fuck the feds” Harris said she’d defund the police, cost her the whole election.

    👆 person who cares more about the color of the politician’s tie than what policies they’re enacting

    Well, they aren’t police, so this is disingenuous and in bad faith. They are cosplay soldiers brown shirting it up. We have a police problem and we have an ICE problem. Also, Police reform isn’t insane to ask for, but when you conflate it with another adjacent group it gets far more complicated. I know the folds on your brain aren’t deep enough to make that distinction, consider donating your brain to science. I imagine NASA would love to study that frictionless surface you got sliding around in there.

    It’s not “infighting” if the criticism is directed at the imperialist uniparty. The Democrats putting their own spin on the same agenda doesn’t somehow mean they have a different one.

    It’s really easy to avoid infighting if you just have no consistent principles or morals that might cause disagreement.

    I agree, why defund the police when you could disarm and disband them? Just defundinf is clearly way too conservative for US voters. Can you believe that after the largest sustained demonstrations in world history (against police) in 2020, the Dems ran a pro-police candidate in ‘24? I know, it’s sordid. No wonder they lost…

    “Infighting”: A socialist daring to critique capitalists in power Not “infighting”: Doing everything possible to rig the primary - or just not have one at all, have cops beat the shit out of your voting base when they don’t support your foreign policy, then tell them to shut the fuck up and vote for the massively unpopular candidate you’ve forced upon them, while proudly declaring you’re not going to pursue any of the voting bases policy goals.

    Ah yes, infighting is when the left doesn’t want racists, rapists, murderers and thieves preventing us from organizing.
