Why does it have to be a big federal bill when Democrats have been running the major cities for decades? Can't they fix a local (police) problem? Can't they fricking do anything right for once?

Idk I don’t ever get into the partisan side of it. I am more about being on the right side of history regardless of if it comes from the right or the left.

quote:For as frequently as pro athletes move from state to state, sometimes multiple times in a given season, it would seem likely that a lot of players aren’t registered to vote at their current residence, especially since local/state elections are probably even less important when there is a decent probability that one won’t live there in the recent future.
Players boycotting and demanding owners to make change when they can’t even get out to vote. Players aren’t doing their part to make change, why should the owners?
So I’m wondering if the 20% refers to players current residence, not “are they registered anywhere.”

With a vapid answer like that (bullshite generalities), you contribute to the problem. The idea that Democrats have run cities for decades is not a partisan take. It's fact. This "right side of history" nonsense is what leftists say, not people who really want to solve any problems.

You think not being registered to vote is a deterrent to voting?

These are not nonsense. And Should not be partisan. That is what we mean by right side of history. It is the right thing to do, we can all agree on it.

Why can't it be handled locally? Why isn't it? Policing is a local issue, not a federal one.

Is the issue federal officers or local police? Pretty sure the issue has been local. Seems they are being merged for no reason other than to threaten funding, which local Democrat cities are already looking to cut in a major way. That makes it an irrelevant threat that also serves to weaken federal enforcement.

It's the right thing to do to examine your side's partisan take on these matters, as I just did.

that's probably the same number who are smart enough to know they have to register

I don’t care where it gets done, or who didn’t do it in the past... it is time now to get r done.

I don’t have a side I’m pretty much down the middle. Right on some things left on others. Would never side with either. For obvious reasons.

I just laid out basic points on why that bill won't "get r done." As usual, anyone who quickly supports big federal intervention fails to take the time to examine the law of unintended (and at times secretly intended) consequences.

Yeah, young Americans need to be more politically active. That doesn’t take away from the rest of their message. If you are using this as a reason to dismiss the movement, then chances are you never cared in the first place.
Change is needed at both local and federal levels. Got to start somewhere.
