*There Is Oversimplification In Politics ~ Do You Agree?
-----
“For too long, we’d been told there were only two options:
• To be either tough on crime or soft on crime — an oversimplification that ignored the realities of public safety.
You can want the police to stop crime in your neighborhood and also want them to stop using excessive force.
You can want them to hunt down a killer on your streets and also want them to stop using racial profiling.
You can believe in the need for consequence and accountability, especially for serious criminals, and also oppose unjust incarceration.
I believed it was essential to weave all these varied strands together.”
~ Kamala Harris

Well, you do have only 2 parties, and are subject to either point of view.
Why isnt there a third or fourth one?
>Let's Make The World A Better Place For Everyone!
Why the world? Cant even fix things inside the country.
MAGA first.
We can do it? What great things did we accomplish during the last four years?
Or were the last four years merely meant to warm up and get ready. I guess somebody could start slow and then, you know, get, like, serious. I'm not sure why anybody would wait for so long to get to work on great things. But to each his own, right?
I guess we DO like the few new car-charging locations that were reportedly created over the last four years. But don't they seem a little expensive, on average? I hope the next several thousand charging stations are a bit cheaper. We're already wallowing in national debt, are we not? Do we really have much more room left to do great things? Or is money no object when we're, you know, "saving democracy."
It would be nice if the interest payments on the national debt were not so spooky large now, after so much increase in the rates and so much borrowing. Do we realize how large those payments are now? Or is that not something we can really talk about. After all, we wouldn't want to make anybody uncomfortable.
But not already being so burdened by vast new debt would sure make it easier to imagine great things, wouldn't it? Yet I'm all in favor of optimism! I just wish there was a bit more evidence available from past practice to support it.
> oppose unjust incarceration
In my simplistic view Harris does not oppose unjust incarceration if they are Palestinians.
Who doesn't love the sound of a fiddle?
@Noflaps Amongst some there seems to be a competition so see who has the smallest fiddle playing the same old tune ad infinitum.
I wonder if anybody will actually discuss the substance? What have we seen over the last four years that seems wonderful? They've been real, those four years. Anybody notice them?
Or is this a space for fans only. If so, please enjoy yourselves.

@Noflaps Mr Moral Highground, aka
@bfchessguy , strikes again. Hes on my blocked list so thankfully I don’t have to look at his crap unless I choose to. On the rare occasion that I do, he never disappoints. The perfect cure for insomnia.
