> But the DNC is focused on having equal representation of males and females and making sure the right pronouns are on a committee
No they did not. DEI was one policy out of many that went through with Dems during the last admin if you think that’s all Democrats are focusing on you have drunk the Trump-brand-koolaid and have no good faith arguments here.
As for BLM it changed a A LOT. Again you are demonstrating lack of evidence and understanding of those events. I’m sure you stayed inside and criticized the people protesting. I marched during that time in Nyc. And we accomplished the following:
- Repeal 50A - a law that protected police officers at the state level from taking any legal repercussions for their actions
- Forced NYPD to stop using stop and frisk plain clothes units
- made police choking and strangleholds illegal
- force Nypd to stop using kettle tactics
- Removed the NYPD from school security duty
- spread awareness and helped change the narrative about violent police corruption
BLM was such a big deal that people like you scramble to list any benefits. This is your lack of knowledge and understanding of people that keeps you pushing for more violence. The type of cognitive dissonance that makes you say “BLM was nothing, I hated it” when that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
And since your entire argument is based around some generalization and inability to separate Potus admin from a political party. And political party from voters, I do not see any reason to continue this discussion based on false bad faith generalized premises.
Really?
Let’s look at NYC.

> While comparatively fewer stops occurred during the de Blasio administration – nearly 135,000 – enormous racial disparities have persisted every year. In 2022, the first year of the Adams administration, the NYPD made over 15,000 stops, reversing the downward trend of stops occurring during the de Blasio years. In 2024, the most recent year for which data is available, the NYPD made over 25,000 stops, a fifty percent increase from 2023 and the largest number of stops since 2014

But Democrats still want us to sing old negro spirituals in the street like “We shall overcome” and pray that we can change hearts and minds.
