Progressive Dems fire back at Obama after he criticizes 'Defund the police' movement

[Counselor706]

Progressive Democrats took aim at former President Barack Obama after he argued that political candidates alienate voters when they use "snappy" slogans such as "defund the police."

His comments drew a sharp rebuke from several progressive Democrats.

"We lose people in the hands of police," Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., shot back. "It’s not a slogan but a policy demand. And centering the demand for equitable investments and budgets for communities across the country gets us progress and safety."

"Rosa Parks was vilified & attacked for her civil disobedience. She was targeted. It's hard seeing the same people who uplift her courage, attack the movement for Black lives that want us to prioritize health, funding of schools & ending poverty, rather than racist police systems," Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., tweeted

Bonus: 'Hope & change.' 'Yes we can.' Snappy slogans, indeed!

You cannot win for losing with that crowd. They don't know what they want, just a mindless James Dean mob rebelling against whatever you got.

Subjective.

He was no Sean Connery.

According to his book, he was a blank screen for us to project upon...

That was Marlon Brando, not James Dean.
