To which are you referring?
the Democrats have at least actually made reforms in some counties of the United States.
It could be! By rights it should be! But how can the Republicans shed the Democrats' best weapon, Donald Trump? Trump was a somewhat known TV personality and pussy grabber last time around but relatively unknown to much of the electorate. Now ~70% of the country has learned he is a lying, goofus, insurrectionist. Still 30% of the electorate think he's -- to use his own words -- a "stable genius".Or they didn't read the poll correctly.
In all seriousness, this is a disaster for the Democrats.
I'm not sure why you think Biden is running again but now imagine if he doesn't run again...
The dynamics that I mention will again become front center once more. Simply, the Republicans made the mistake of concentrating on Hilary and Obama in 2020 when they worried about Biden too late.
Heck, the betting odds that President Biden will run again for president have been declining since a few days after he was elected.
- I think they will do the same again by worrying about Biden going into 2024 when it will be another Democrat that will remind us of those other issues causing more of a problem for people of color.
Republicans will not support reform or defund the police whereas the Democrats have at least actually made reforms in some counties of the United States. Maybe the best thing for now is to start from bottom to up...start from the county level.
Reminder, several states did passed bipartisan measures which significantly altered law enforcement practices as in reform. The problem is trying to get the Republicans on board for something similar on the national level.
That's a difficult task to do considering the police unions, and contracts (the money) they have with private companies like Lexipol across America...all of it with strong support from the Republicans...privatizing police policy that's corrupt.
Simply, it's not just about the police and reform.

For anyone who thinks as you do, That's a mistake! A BIG MISTAKE. It's like burning down your house to fix a bad leak in the roof. Sometimes we are forced to make choices we'd rather not have to make...Than there is the problem with millions of progressives like me that won't be voting for Biden (or Harris,or Clinton or any other fucking centrist etc).
It is a difficult task but Bidens position to just give more money to police to hire more police and buy more equipment and other resources with no reforms is a knife to the back of millions of blacks and police reform advocates.
You think this is no big deal but democrats rarely have black approval ratings below 90%.Obamas and Clinton's approval ratings were never as low as Biden's because blacks had their backs during the lowest points of their presidencies.In modern politics without 90% of the black vote and high black voter turnout Dems do not win the presidency.
Democrats only hope in 2022 and 2024 is that millions of people who were not going to vote democrat will change their minds to save abortion rights.

Why only 30%? We know there are a lot more than 30% of the electorate that traditionally have described themselves as Republican, or Republican leaning. Apparently that low fraction of Trump stalwarts is due to a significant number of old line Republicans having jumped ship.
The fat orange pussy grabber affectionately known as "The Donald", and described by his Niece as "the most dangerous man in America", is the darling of such appealing creatures as Cancun-Ted, Hair-Dye Rudy, "No-one-would-believe-that-your-honor" Sidney, and Turkeyneck Mitch -- all of whom hate "The Donald's" guts when behind closed doors -- and uninformed assorted nuts. These unsavory plutocrats and working class lunatics know there numbers are too few to win any honest election, so they are working day and night, when they are not searching for bamboo fibers, to make certain the next election is rig-a-ble. The 2020 election was just a dry run for them. They might succeed in 2024, but only God knows how well they'll do in the Mid-terms where there is no electoral college for the State legislatures to jigger! For the mid-terms they have been reduced to old-fashioned Gerrymandering, moving polling places twenty miles out of town, and preventing drinking water from being delivered to those standing for hours at the polls.
Given all the exposure of Trump's attempt to pull off a coup and set himself up as Autocrat-in-chief, how does one escape the feeling that Donald Trump might just be the Democrats best weapon?; maybe a weapon powerful enough to save the bungling, but honest and sincere Joe.
Joe's a mixed bag of outstanding achievements, bungled opportunities and bad judgement. Will the pussy grabber's endorsements carry the day in November 2022. I'm not so sure. The House might flip, but I expect the Democrats to pick up the two seats they need in the Senate to neutralize Manchin and Sinema. Has Trump's gallivanting and endorsing, in effect, placed his unsavory orange ass on this Fall's Ballot. If so, it could happen that the Democrats emerge in November stronger rather than weaker. As far as 2024 goes, would both Joe and Donald please go quietly away.
The only reason the Republicans don't work to get a popular vote majority is because it is not needed. Its a choiceRepublicans were saying that during Reagans term and Dems went on to get the most votes in the next 7 of 8 presidential elections.
The only reason the Republican party is a major national party is because of the undemocratic electoral college,Senate and gerrymandering.
Unfortunately, the Republicans will not allow those types of reforms to go to the national level.
That is true.Not passing police reform on the national level is not the reason police reform voters will not be voting for Biden.Biden going from this

Is the reason why we wont be voting for Biden.
...Sticking it to Hillary was really easy for him given his personality and the fact his team knew how to sell an image that his followers bought...
