biden speech
- Thread starter zdreg
- Start date
Most people who voted for Biden were simply voting against Trump. They weren't voting for his political policies.
Millions of Americans who were marching during The George Floyd protests voted for the specific issue of police reform after Biden promised police reform.Biden kicked those millions of Americans in the face on national TV during his speech.We will be responding accordingly in 2022 and 2024.2024 is the easiest presidential elections in decades to predict.
What did Biden do in his speech other than reject the idiotic slogan of "defund the police"?
According to a PEW poll taken in 2021, only 23% of black Americans say they want a net decrease of police spending in their area:

It wasn't the slogan he was rejecting.It was police reform and BLM he was rejecting.He has been rejecting it since he took office and blacks no this but his SOTU speech was the clear fuck you on the issue.
2024 will be so easy to predict.A democrat has no chance of winning The White House without 90+ % of the black vote and 66-67 % black voter turnout.Clinton and Obama had approval ratings with blacks in 90s during thier first terms.Biden has absolutely no chance of winning re election with black approval ratings below 90.Blacks wont vote GOP,but millions will stay home.2024 will have the lowest black voter turn out ever.Along with black voters millions of progressives will be staying home or voting republican due to Biden betrayal on not only police reform but student debt forgiveness,not addressing healthcare at all etc.
Confidence that police in the United States are adequately trained to avoid using excessive force reached a new low in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, and 60% of Americans say the country should do more to hold police accountable for mistreatment of Black people.
More broadly, 63% say Black people and other minorities do not receive equal treatment as whites in the criminal justice system -- off its peak, 69%, last July, but the next highest in polls dating to 1988. That includes a majority of white people for only the second time.
In political terms, 42%, a plurality overall, say President Joe Biden is doing “too little” to try to reform police practices in this country. Thirty-two percent in this poll, produced for ABC News by Langer Research Associates, say he’s doing the right amount, while many fewer, 15%, say he’s doing too much.
- Just 44% are very or somewhat confident that the police are trained adequately to avoid using excessive force, similar to last summer (47%) and down 10 percentage points from the first time it was asked in late 2014 after a grand jury declined to hand up an indictment in the police killing of Eric Garner.
- A new question asked if the country should do more to hold police accountable for mistreatment of Black people or, alternatively, is doing too much to interfere in how officers do their job. The result is nearly 2-to-1 for more accountability, 60-33%.
- The public long has doubted that Black people and other minorities receive equal treatment in the criminal justice system; only once in a dozen polls since 1988 did a majority say this was so. Still, the share who say equal treatment is lacking now exceeds 6 in 10 only for the second time.
Their incompetence is only outdone by their indifference which is far more dangerous and what we should truly fear. They simply don't care.
