What's this?

No apologies necessary. You’re not uncouth because we disagree.


I don’t even entirely disagree about the far left “bullying”. Stated differently, dems’ political aids have been accused of devising messaging based on overweighted emphasis on social media noise. That’s an accusation I recently heard from a dem operative. Meaning based on the outsized voices of a minority dominating the internet.

I suspect there’s a great deal of truth in it. I believe many have a distorted view of cities like NYC because of media coverage. When it came to crime, I thought that back in the ‘80s. Crime and grime were a lot worse then, and it still wasn’t a “hellhole” in my view.

Regardless of that disagreement, I bet we have very little disagreement about what dems should be doing to combat this.
