    Yessss performative politics wooo!! That’s what everyone loves! Don’t mind that Joe Biden funded 34 billion dollars into hiring 100,000 more cops himself, Orange man bad am I right!?!?

    Really though, this shit sucks and it’s designed to impress like, your aunt on Facebook. No one wins from shit like this. No citizen of the United States has their life improved by this. It just builds resentment to people already having doubts on your party

        Yes!

        (I get the jest that he did not personally take 34 billion out of his venmo account, but this is about as close as it comes to a president personally funding something)

        ((Also turns out it’s more like 37 billion.))

          We need to invest in mental health and substance use treatment services, crisis responders, and social workers to reduce the burden on police officers and prevent violent crime. We need to expand community violence interventions – led by trusted messengers breaking the cycle of violence and trauma. We need to enforce our commonsense gun laws, require background checks for all gun sales in order to keep firearms out of the hands of felons and domestic abusers, and ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines – weapons of war that have no place in our communities.

          What an uncaring bootlicker!

            Do you fall for everything a politician says to you so easily? When republicans name their anti abortion the “protecting young Americans act” do you go “wow! They just want to protect young Americans!”

            It’s a massive funding bill for 100,000 cops. You cannot possibly be so brainwashed that you think everything the Democratic Party does is good. That’s just being a fascist
