If you could cite any fact-verified position or words from Joe Biden or any federal-level Democrat representing Pennsylvania that has indicated support for: 1) abolishing the police/law enforcement; 2) allowing property damage resulting from rioting to go unpunished as a crime; or 3) abolishing our national borders, I'd honestly love to see it.

We're all ears.
A TV ad approved by Donald J Trump doesn’t count?

Higher than many (most?) people on this website want it to be.

If you want to know how out of touch Democrats are with reality, this poster is claiming "Nobody is talking about "defund the police" right after a different poster mentioned that Pittsburgh's Defund the Police bill passed City Council. Hilarious. They know how unpopular Defund the Police is so they blatantly lie and deny it even when it's literally becoming a law in Pennsylvania's second biggest city.

Here's Biden on video talking about "redirecting funding from the police."

I'll check out the video and go meandering through the Trib and Post-Gazette later, but to date, only Minneapolis has opted to completely disband its police department.

And I suspect that, as happened in Camden, N.J., the disbanded department will be replaced with a new agency charged with protecting public safety.

Most of what I've seen and read consists of moves to redirect police funding to agencies and departments that perform the sort of social-service interventions we all too often ask the cops to perform. And the cops aren't good at de-escalation, while these agencies are.

Camden NJ disbanded their police force about 10 or so years ago. The NJ State Police took over.

I like “disrespect for America” being one of your reasons the state is staying red, when the moron in the White House has made this country look like a total joke on the world stage.

Only one party is destroying monuments and declaring the American flag "racist," and it's not the President's party. The vandalism, looting, and flag burning is deeply unpopular. Voters care more about their city being destroyed without consequences than they do the latest outrage-of-the-day from the White House.

A large part of being an adult is learning to admit that you’re wrong, and learning to look at yourself and change for the better.

Refusing to examine our past and change for the better doesn’t make Republicans “patriotic,” it makes them children.

The world had reacted accordingly. We’re a joke on the international stage. I have a close friend from Boston who lives in the UK now and is vacationing in Greece. He’s got people from Poland and Slovakia telling him the American dream is dead. Not even people from the good European countries.

Strength is learning from your weaknesses, not shrieking “I’m the best in the world” over and over while your house collapses around you.
