A quote from the Biden Trump debate. Which candidate said this, Trump or Biden?

"I put more – we put more police on the street than any administration has. He wants to cut the cops."

As a reminder, Biden is the candidate that needs more Black men to vote for him, or he is likely to lose the election.

As a reminder, Biden is the one that pushed for and passed the 80s crime bill.

As a reminder, Biden is the one that instructed cities to transfer ~$1B of Covid relief funds to police budgets.

Y'all are betting the future of the free world on Biden being able to say and do stuff like this, and then still get 95% of the votes of Black men? Seriously? That's the strategy?

Man, lemme go ahead and prepare for this next Trump term then, because that strategy is awful.

How did y'all ever think that would work?

@mekkaokereke I mean... sorta?

The challenge for anyone running for president as a Democrat (as you've laid out repeatedly) is that a lot of people in this country want a government & police force that abuses black/brown people.

Biden's got to thread the needle so that white suburban women are mollified without deterring many black voters.

Voters are going to do whatever they're going to do. No one can say for sure what the secret is to winning this election.

@tob

A lot of *white* people like a police force that brutalizes Black people. A lot of white Dem voters expect Black folk to vote for a candidate that does this to them.🤷🏿‍♂️

And you know what? They're right! Most Black people will go along with this, and vote for the Dem candidate! About 90% - 95% of Black women, and around 80% to 85% of Black men.

But that last 20% of Black men isn't going for it. They expect those white suburban dem women to do better, and be better informed about policing.
