Conservatives are giving Al Sharpton credit for saying that progressives need to get tough on crime. The difference between conservatives who want to get tough on crime and progressives is that conservatives want to stop people from getting killed and/or molested. Progressives want to start getting tough on crime because they think that high crime rates in progressive cities are hurting their chances of getting elected.
Abortion is another example.
Democrats had the Whitehouse and both houses of congress and could have
passed a law making abortion legal across the country but then they couldn’t
run on the issue. Without abortion as an
issue to get liberals out to the polls democrats are doomed.
The war on poverty is another issue leftists don’t want to
solve. They need to be able to promise
to give people “free” things in name of fighting poverty in order to bribe them
for their votes.
Fighting racism is another example. They need to make everything about race, even
promoting fake hate crimes, to keep getting a majority of the black vote.
One more example is global warming. Leftists claim that global warming will
destroy the planet killing billions of people around the globe but are against clean
nuclear energy. Whatever issues they
might have with nuclear energy it has to be better than killing billions of
people. Their position only makes sense
if they are not really serious about global warming.
This is not an exhaustive list. Add your examples in the comment section.
The support of the war in Ukraine is another example. The Biden administration trumpets about support for Ukraine yet they have to be dragged by congress to provide that support. So far the war is a stalemate. They only want that issue to make them look tough against Russia. BTW I don’t think Putin would have invaded Ukraine if Trump were in office but I’d bet he will find a way to end it on his upcoming next term
