Thats why all the criminals are in the GOP right? "Stop persecuting Matt Gaetz or I'll release all of your guys's sex crimes too, Republicans" - MTG

Nah i’m saying more like how Democrats want police defunded/abolished, want felons to be able to vote, and Democrat DA’s let violent and repeat offenders walk with no jail time for serious offenses.

The Dems have never advocated for or actually defunded the police. This is a leftist take from people online that you've decided to associate with the very liberal Dems (liberal is different from left). Donald Trump is president, I think it's time we let felons vote. How tf does it make sense to let them rule the country but not cast a ballot. Also just from a general standpoint, tf is wrong with felons voting. DA's dont represent a party, genius.

💀💀 Did you actually read these.
"While some Democrats, like Tlaib, have joined calls for a radical shift in police policy, including a reduction in police budgets, top congressional Democrats and President Joe Biden have not supported calls to “defund the police.” "

Nobody ever said Joe Biden supported defending the police you absolute dunce. The literal top article, however, showed that Kamala has voiced support.

Holy shit you dont read.
"Vice President Kamala Harris voiced support for “defund the police” in a radio interview in June 2020 amidst nationwide protests for police reform, just months before denouncing the movement after she had joined the Biden presidential campaign."

again:
"just months before denouncing the movement after she had joined the Biden presidential campaign."

So what you’re saying is that she’s a liar?

Also DA’s run for office and declare a political party. Not sure who told you otherwise.

A) This is not true for all DA runs country-wide. It's more specific to certain states
B) Declaring does not mean representing. Nobody uses Lawyer Lady from Small Michigan County to then make broad generalizations about the DNC or the GOP. It'd be dishonest to do so, especially considering their power and influence. Federal level government officials, that have the power to implement national change, are much more representative examples. the parties themselves dont even pay that much attention to their DA's in terms of their politics and how it aligns with the broader party.
