Why shouldn't the Trump strategy of "blatantly lie about my opponent" work for Biden too?

I mean, he isn't necessarily lying or confused.

The people who criticize Biden are generally the confused liars but it makes them feel better to pretend otherwise.

This really needs more attention because this is kind of a big deal and yet people are just writing it off as a gaffe because they can't look beyond the headline or watch the entire video. Like holy shit.

People are already making excuses in this topic, I'm sure the wider public isn't concerned either

"LA LA LA LA! I CAN'T HEAR YOU! BIDEN ISN'T TRUMP! BIDEN ISN'T TRUMP!"

.....It's really fucking pathetic. We had multiple other choices for people who aren't Trump. Every last one of them, even Marianne Williamson at this point, better than Biden.

Yes, I am sure Joe Biden, notorious drug warrior who still views marijuana as a gateway drug and made a career based on being "tough on crime", will definitely appoint a reformist attorney general and champion the kinds of bold reforms protestors in the streets are demanding.

I would love to be wrong, of course, but I don't know where you're getting the idea that Joe Biden isn't Joe Biden.

How so? Defunding the police isn't a Democratic position. He points out accurately that in Trump's budget, he in fact is the one trying to cut police funding

Do you honestly believe in your heart that Donald Trump is the only person calling to defund the police?

You think he should have said "The only people calling to defund the police are Donald Trump and the far left" ?

It's a really vague term. A lot of people probably mean reform but some people definitely mean abolish.

It's a pretty useless term because of that tbh.

The only reason to vote for Biden by this point is because he's not Trump
Only reason I was going to vote for him to begin with. I think he's a good guy at hear but would have preferred someone else.

More and more, I'm thinking that people complaining in this topic didn't actually watch the clip.

I admit, I didn't either which was why my first response referred to it as blatant lying. But watch it and Biden clearly states that in Trump's budget, there are heavy police cuts. Meanwhile Biden wants to add funding to police training programs.

Adding funding is the problem though.

Biden has consistently been for police reform. Blame the awful "defund" term for confusing many people depending on how you interpret it. Whether that means that total police spending is increased (which he says in that video) or that funds will be redirected towards other purposes (which he has said in the past), it's not too clear.

Very few people want police completely abolished. I personally want police who commit brutality to be charged / gone and an increase in individual professionalism/quality of policing. I don't think we need as many police grunts as we have right now, but fewer, better police. Like with most things, we need to make concrete steps towards progress, not upend the whole table.

Oh my god, this thread rules.

The Biden defenders in here going "NUH UH, TRUMP DOESNT WANT TO DEFUND THE POLICE CUZ THATD BE A GOOD THING" are effing clowns. Defunding the police would be fucking stupid, hence Donald Trump trying to cash in on the public support regardless of the shortsightedness of such a thing.

Joe's right here. Thank god hes not caving to the vocal dipshits on this one.

I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that I have the idea that Joe Biden isn't Joe Biden. I'm not commenting on his policy stances at all, I'm simply saying that just because he's gaffe prone and fumbles his words on the campaign trail doesn't mean his administration is going to be people doing the same.

There isn't anyone who wants to get rid of the police that doesn't also want its functions to be replaced by something else, btw.
