Oh please. Democrats opened the field to Republicans with their anti police rhetoric (and Republicans are now in the process of self destruction by being anti everyone but their preferred democratic). Polls show most people are pro police. I live in a liberal neighborhood of Portland and if you actually talked to Democrat voters, you'd know they actually want police.

Again, get offline. These extreme positions that have taken over both parties are the result of listening to twitter. Seriously that website is toxic. It causes fear and anxiety and governance by fear is terrible. Online democrats / left leaners seem to fear law enforcement. Meanwhile online Republicans / right leaners seem to fear everyone not exactly like them.

What ends up happening is that the political class ends up fielding candidates that are extreme since the online political class has disproportionate influence over that, and then normal people have to choose the best of two awful candidates.

No one can seriously say last election was a competition between America's best.
