Because far too many US Dems are cowards who live in fear of the conservative news media who will claim, no matter what they do, that they are “soft on crime.”
Whitehouse should just run this ad and actually implement these policies. Start redefining what it means to be tough on crime. It’s not hard, it just takes actually disagreeing with reactionaries on premises. Unfortunately, Biden is trying his damndest to lose the election this year.
it should be easy to paint politicians as pro crime when they oppose gun control, oppose limits on ammunition purchases, support arming criminals, psychologically disturbed, violent abusers, etc.
Problem is once the government has the power to disarm criminals, they can make revolution illegal, call revolutionaries criminals, and prevent the population from rising up against the oligarchy. The only two good things America did is kill Nazis, and kill monarchists. And it looks like the second amendment is going to protect their right to do both after Project 2025. In my country we have very strict gun control laws, which is why I own a bow for self defence and Nazi killing.
