If I rightfully point out that a PAC made up lies about her and your respond with this, youre a dishonest anti semite You cant just post stuff like this without sourcing it Also dont call me an anti-Semite when Turner is calling the Jewish PAC donations dark money lmfaoooo --- |

Optics are incredibly important lmao. If none of the people who voted for you want something, and you do it anyway, it will not end well for you or your city. This has been incredibly noticeable for the last decade Also I love how youre trying to claim that nothing has changed over the last decade, or at least are insinuating that. Youre just wrong --- |

| Samurontai 08/06/21 1:58:16 PM #4 | PoundGarden posted... How do they figure he was targeted when, if I'm understanding this right, nothing about his attire/vehicle would have indicated he was a deputy, he would've looked like any other security guard right? If it were a targeted killing, they probably knew where he worked, thats how most targeted killings work iirc. You find out where they work, live, socialize, etc. Also its alleged, no one knows for sure yet --- |

| Samurontai 08/06/21 1:55:25 PM #193 | Gwynevere posted... Hard disagree, that's a mentality that holds us back. Plus having actual discussion about it is the only way for it to enter the public consciousness and become more popular in the first place You are correct. Discussion has to be made before things are actually implemented. Defund the police is incredibly unpopular now because people were trying to do it the other way around. As of now, it definitely wouldnt work, because most people are just against it. It has horrible phrasing, and just awful optics to most people, according to the data. And apparently cities dont even know how to properly implement it. Discussion has to be had before trying to implement something like resource reallocation --- |

And yet 10 teams that have decent, but not amazing funding are blowing you out of the water. Can you really say you ran well because you beat the rest of the field? They had no chance of winning and are just happy the wheels didn't fall off. I think the Nina Turner Ohio run would be a better example, but I get your drift sure This is literally just semantics though at this point, but I can accept your view. Sure, ranking 11 out of 11 while being the wealthiest probably isnt good. --- |

And while only 11 countries are measured in this study, would you be so certain that we're doing better than Japan or South Korea, or Finland or Denmark? 11 out of 195 in no situation is bad though, unless youre talking about it in the reverse or something It definitely could be better though --- |

Yes, because that was the initial argument lmao Gwynevere posted... The whole thread where you were calling for increased police presence in cities, then abandoned it when the data proved you wrong lol Thats what my argument in that thread was about lmao. My argument was that defund the police was incredibly unpopular, even amongst democrats I know itd work, but theres no point in having a discussion about what would work when its incredibly unpopular to begin with Taking all the guns away from US citizens by force would also probably work to reduce crime. Doesnt mean it will happen, because its incredibly unpopular --- |

Here, lets try to get back on topic before you start moving the goalposts like you usually do. We are talking about the popularity behind it https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/03/07/usa-today-ipsos-poll-just-18-support-defund-police-movement/4599232001/ Only 18% of respondents supported the movement known as "defund the police," and 58% said they opposed it. Though white Americans (67%) and Republicans (84%) were much more likely to oppose the movement, only 28% of Black Americans and 34% of Democrats were in favor of it.  poll from last year --- |

| Samurontai 08/06/21 1:06:14 PM #184 | Gwynevere posted... The whole thread where you were calling for increased police presence in cities, then abandoned it when the data proved you wrong lol Ohh, the topic where you couldnt get over the fact that most black people want a local police presence, and most (dem) cities who were planning on implementing a defund the police policy, ended up 180ing. Iirc, that topic was entirely demoted to semantics over whether or not these cities actually implemented anything (which I later proved that some indeed did, and were backtracking it) Defunding the police isnt even popular on the left, so sorry. Next? Edit: New tag  I feel like the dishonest ones like you would be delegated to hard labor tbh --- |

Im sure youll be a valued member of your commune though, dw. Just make sure you do your part (and anyones slacking) so you get enough rations for your family everyday. And go ahead and throw your degree away (if you have one), itll be useless in your commune. Gl comrade -salute- Edit: and hey, cleaning (literal) shit is probably the most important job.

I said in my first post that I don't think money was the deciding thing of this election, I just think it's dumb for people to go "well this group pouring huge money into the election backs X ethnicity interests so now it's okay" I never said it was okay, its just that some of the rhetoric Turner and her supporters use when talking about her loss is sketchy as fuck --- |

Yes, blame the jews In reality most of America just doesnt like progressives (shocker, I know).

Col. Carl Yates. Deputy Brandon Shirley, 26, was working an off-duty security detail at Rockford Lane Auto Sales in Shively, Kentucky, when he was shot inside his personal vehicle around 2:30 a.m. ET, Lt. Col. Yates told CNN on the phone. Shirley was taken to the University of Louisville Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery, but "he did not survive the surgery," said Yates.

European countries tend to be smaller, of course something like the UK isn't going to spend as much on policing as a country more than twice its size. In comparison to their GDP though, the UK spends relatively the same (just a tad bit lower than the US) on their policing. It takes more money to implement programs to train police officers and add more divisions into the police organizations. There's a reason why most big cities who started doing the "defund the police" stuff, ended up 180ing. --- |

I think all this talk about variants is just hysteria from a media which profits from hyping up every miniscule threat and from totalitarians who are afraid of losing their excuse for telling everyone what to do all the time. The vaccine works. If you have it, the pandemic is as over for you as it ever will be. That's just not true. Variants lower the effectiveness of the Vaccines. and the less people who are vaxxed, the more chances there are of new variants rising. --- |
