That's a LIE.
Show me on DNC platform that says killer cops should be protected? Hell, show me ONE city Dem policy that says that.
Show me the DNC platform that says we should protect oil and gas companies' profits. Show it.
Is putting something in your platform the only way you effectuate policy? There are fucking millions of examples of Dems taking police union money, and covering up murders. *SCREAMS CHICAGO AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS* Has Baltimore been run by republicans all this time?

Each of these items have been prioritized by Democratic Congresspeople through various pieces of legislation.
Before you lecture me, I know these aren’t the explicit reasons behind the legislation, but as long as we’re all pragmatists then the consequences matter more than the intent (or something).
Read the Guardian article.
That is YOUR MO BRO

it’s BS, or so I heard
That's absolute and TOTAL crap.
Let's look at the most actions on oil, gas, renewables and pollution -the best bills have been passed by Dems. To say otherwise is either being totally ignorant of US history or willfully lying.
Show me the legislation by Dems that protects killer cops- Give the specific bill, the date and link of who voted for it.
ACA did protect some profits, but it also took away tons of money from insurance companies and hospitals. It has saved tons of lives and billions of dollars for the poor and lower-middle class. To say otherwise is again either out of ignorance or being willing to lie.
Nothing is perfect, but to say the Dems haven't been on the side of the people dramatically more than their opposition is to be ignorant of US history.

How about you show me how interests from these industries haven’t shaped major pieces of legislation in recent years. Also, Dems were all over that Blue Lives Matter bill. Your turn, RJ.
Amen. The D run inner-cities have politicians unable to face up to the carnage and root cause of ineffectual policy
Let’s watch now and begin to see the media fracture between mainstream Democrats and Progressive Socialists
going to be interesting and amusing to watch these two factions begin taunting one another with shrieks of “Fake News!”Dems don't protect healthcare profits, but they created a healthcare market that allowed the price of insulin to go from ~$75 in '08 to ~$275 in '16. They are never responsible for anything they do. It's tiring.
Show me a written policy for the DNC...you can't.
Strick already pointed out the Blue Lives Matter bill. How about the ACA? How about reversing the ban on taking fossil fuel money? We can go on and on and on.
In recent years, Dems have had no control in Congress.
BTW, as stupid and unnecessary as BLM Bill was, in no way does it protect cops who killed people.
ACA protects millions of innocent people. But there you go again in aligning yourself with Trump in wanting to kill ACA rather than build on it.
Are you sure you aren't a long-lost Trump love child?
You constantly refute things without evidence."
All Blue Lives Matter bills, at the state or national level, serve one purpose. That is to solidify and strengthen the power and rights of police over those of citizens. The bill is not gonna come out and fucking say "we protect killer cops." But, as exactly what Strick was arguing, the intended and resulting effect is to protect the institution of policing from ever facing accountability.
