Police stopped responding to a lot of stuff in democratic/swing states and the public perception of dems got trashed imo.

Pro-police propaganda masquerading as anti-centrist propaganda.

I can't believe people take this dog-shit seriously.

Then what is your explanation for the considerable increase in crime in AOC's district?

This is one of the reasons AOC would be a poor Democratic presidential candidate.

AOC represents her district, she doesn't govern it. She governs at the federal level.

From the article: Alvarez tried raising the issue with Ocasio-Cortez when she met her at a town hall in the Bronx last year, but got nowhere.

“I asked, ‘Are you aware of how horrible it’s gotten? When was the last time you were in Jackson Heights, Elmhurst?’ She ignored me and told me, ‘You can ask this person questions’ … who I guess was her assistant. She did a very silent exit through the back.

“I think it’s disrespectful. You’re there because of people from my community, and you’re not doing s–t for our community.”

What specific thing do you think AOC has done to generate crime in her district?

According to the article she defunded the police. The result being less police.

The article lied. She can't control police budgets. That's completely outside of her power.

She wanted to defund the police. Why didn't she want to talk to the lady at the town hall when she was asked about crime in her district? Why doesn't she ask Trump for help?

If most Americans wanted to defund the police, they wouldn't have voted for Trump.

Neither candidate wanted to defund the police. One is a loafy orange nazi and the other used to be a district attorney.

Now you're moving the goal posts.

The fact is that she literally can't be held responsible for this, she isn't the queen of her district. That's not how government works.

This is stupid. Blocked.

At the town hall meeting, why didn't she say that local matters are not her responsibility and tell them who is? Why doesn't she ask Trump for help?
