Democratic politicians supported the proliferation of law enforcement, on public transportation, in schools, even inside homes, a move that has only served to increase the number of people killed by police. Democratic policies are what first empowered the police to become a violent force against the left and in deference to Trump. What Trump understands is that the glory, power, and social currency of the police serve as the backbone for authoritarianism in the United States. It is a militaristic, hyper masculine system which is impervious to change and maddeningly difficult to monitor.

    This seems to be the next “talking point” after “genocide joe” - somehow Trump’s actions are the democrat’s fault!

    Don’t fall for it. We need to unite and support the one viable alternative to Republican power expansion, not quibble and bicker over “leftist” vs “progressive” vs “liberal” vs “centrist” and how the Democrats aren’t pure or perfect enough.

          Jill Stein is pretty cool though. I wouldn’t vote for her, but I think she has some great points to make. It’ll be interesting what the Green Party does now.
