18. I doubt you and I disagree much on the issues. But certainly on strategy.

Joe and his ream know how to win on a national level. It’s what they are focused on.

Bernie’s team? Not so much.

You don’t want anything that makes it look you are attacking police. Americans thing we have a racism problem in the police for the first time ever. But that does not mean they will support seeing them as an enemy. And there is really not much the Federal Government can do and Joe knows that. There is nothing to be gained politically by supporting this.

And Pot. With all we have going on most voters could give a fuck. And it pretty much a state issue anyway. If Joe wins I expect the federal laws against it will be rescinded, but it doesn’t help him get elected by even talking about it.

And a set up? Joe dominated the primary. And you’re upset he gets his way? It was not a meeting of equals.

i don't understand why he is catering to the cops and their unions over questionseverything Jul 2020 #1
