And no assertion in my post is "demonstrably false." You claimed it took someone being killed before anyone (any Dem) "took a stand." THAT is demonstrably false.
We aren't having protests in US cities, and riots in Portland, because Dems are ok with violence. Or because they, or anyone, don't condemn it enough.
We have riots in US cities, and continuously in Portland, because millions of people believe there is a two-track justice system in the US. (Victims of police violence don't think that minimal either.)
There are two parties, two leaders, with two different approaches to this problem. One does a lot of partisan condemning of violence (with a wink to militia participation) sprinkled with falsehoods about who and what is driving it, and wants to send in the military to "dominate the streets." The other wants to address the causes of the protests/riots, working through police reform.
Which one will work? That is what people ought to be discussing in this forum. Not whether politicians are condemning violence "on a daily basis."
Trump only condemns violence if he deems it from "The other side".
He says nothing of the Boogaloos killing a police officer in Oakland. He says nothing or people who are racist or hateful as long as they support HIM.
