Poll: How should Democrats deal with the crime issue going into 2022?

[brooklynite]

While crime in general may be the same, violent crime is definitely up. To tell voters they're wrong about how they feel is a sure path to failure.

1. Crime is a Rethug issue. Most crimes are committed by Rethugs.

3. Now just how the fuck do you know that?

When cops arrest someone, is there a spot on the report that says Democrat, Republican, Independent, etc.?

6. Just common sense.

They're the party of law-breaking, of cheating, of racism, of stealing and of doing terrible things.

Is all crime committed by Rethgus? No, of course not. But more than most, certainly.

7. So in other words, you don't know,

you're just making assumptions.
You have no idea if most of the crime is committed by the repukes.
Do you believe that criminals identify by political party when they're apprehended? Or that cops ask what political party they belong to when their arrested?

Ridiculous.

2. Acknowledge it but

we can’t return to the zero tolerance attitude of the 90s which filled our prisons and unfairly targeted minorities.

4. +100. nt

5. Push back hard against the "defund the police BS"

And if any Dem stupid enough to say those words out loud make it perfectly clear that they don't speak for the party.

8. Republican Red States are 7 of the top 10 states with the highest crime rates.
