Regarding your law enforcement comments. Yes cops should shut down any violence or property damage. I’d defer to the cops for what they need to do that. If a politician is standing in the way of what cops need then they are probably wrong in doing so and should not be re-elected. But these situations are complicated and neither you or I know the resources at hand or the situation on the ground that the cops are facing.I’m not on the side of anybody who is being violent or damaging property so I don’t know what you’re talking about. Trump has absolutely ignored and acted against the issues being protested. Like it or not that inflames things. He is responsible for his part in that. Very poor leadership. Ultimately those committing crimes are responsible for the crimes they commit and they should be punished accordinglyBiden has addressed it. He’s said many times that violence of any kind should not be accepted and arrests should be made.H
He did answer that. Said he wasn’t holding elected office. He doesn’t see that as a responsibility of his.Unbelievable, right? It was a simple question. we all saw it. Mr. Biden, did you call the Governor/Mayor of Oregon/Portland to tell them to tell his supporters to stop burning down Portland?
Biden did not answer. So anyone here wanna guess why? was he watching any particular movie/movies on cable TV?
Was Biden too busy on his PC in his hideaway?
And yet, at least 40% of us are gonna vote for Biden?

1. It is a huge issue and he should have already addressed it. THat he did not is a failure on his part.
2. He could have said what he WOULD do, if elected. Not doing that, was very telling. He does not want to admit what he will or will not do, because a lot of his voters support the violence and a lot do not.;
3. Attacking Trump for it, as though it is not his supporters and the lefty mayors and governor who are at fault, was wrong and disgusting.
he has also said what he would do. Open a commission with leaders from all sides so they can communicate and reach solutions. People are screaming in the streets because they want action and want to be heard. Ignoring them isn’t going to help quiet things, it’s going to make them get louder.
Trumps own a lot of responsibility, he ignores and insults those who protest and tries to strong arm them into submission. That’s how you inflame things not how you resolve issues
The message was heard BEFORE the riots began. This is not about getting a message heard.
Trump is not responsible for the actions of your people. Your attempt to blame him for your side's actions is the type of thing an ill mannered child would do.
Biden, if he was half the man he is pretending to be, would have called out the Mayors of Portland and Seattle, for their utter betrayal of the responsibilities of their office, by siding the mobs against their own people.
Giving a violent mob what they want, might be the obvious answer to you. To me, using the police or the National Guard to clear the streets and protect the citizens seems a more Just solution.
My point about Biden stands. THe mayors are the ones who have ordered the cops to stand down. Other than the actual rioters, they are the ones most directly responsible for the riots continuing and growing to the scale we have seen.
The situation is not complicated. Several dem mayors have sided with rioters vs the Federal Government and/or their own people.
They should not be re-elected. I agree. I also think that in a sane world, they would be arrested on violating the rights of their citizens and possibly sedition.
