Their silence speaks volumes. The fact you don't hear Biden, Harris, Pelosi or Schumer getting up and pleading for calm says it all.

You say they do not ask for calm. Perhaps you just didn't hear them.

Biden spoke out yesterday:

Biden: 'Burning down communities is not protest'

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Wednesday pushed for calm amid an outbreak of violent protests in Kenosha, Wis.

“Burning down communities is not protest, it’s needless violence,” Biden said. “Violence that endangers lives. Violence that guts businesses and shutters businesses that serve the community. That’s wrong.”

I searched the DNC platform and dont see where civil unrest is addressed in spite of burning cities, riots and protests being a top story for months. Hoping Biden breaks the silence and unveils his plans.

OK. so he said it’s wrong. (It doesn’t seem to be much of stretch to say burning down buildings is wrong.) what is he going to do about it? What action is he going to take to stop the violence being spread in the name of the terrorist, racist hate group? Will he speak out against his fellow Democrats who are honoring them by painting murals and naming streets after them?

condemning the violence is not enough weeks after the violence and destruction of property in multiple cities have continued!

What would Biden do? What action would he support? How would he protect the people who are being victimized by these riots?

biden has done nothing but inflame. he has asserted numerous times over the last weeks that 'america is systemically racist'.

Covid has killed more people before 12:15 a.m. this morning (one every minute) than protests and riots have in the last 6 months. What should Biden`s priority be?

So not even worth a mention huh?
Lockdowns and riots are the biggest destroyers of property,wealth and overall health in todays world. I would expect he would give them equal time.

Too little, too late.


He didn't say jack squat until they realized that the violence isn't playing well for him in the polls.
