I never like nor will I ever like the fact that the dems have a solid ground game for getting out the vote/including illegal stuff thrown in. While republicans have almost nothing that resembles a ground game. Having said that, I think it is pretty clear that the dems don't like their internal polling. Harris is following a totally different strategy now than she was just ten days ago. They did not suddenly wake up and discover that she needs to do interviews. They knew that and thumbed their nose at it for months because their internals and public polls told her she was okay and should not risk the exposure. Now she is going on Fox for a Bret Baier interview. Bret will be fair and polite with her too removing the dems ability to argue that he did a hatchet job when she flubs and dubs questions. Word salad here we come. And of course if she does well she can help herself. That opportunity is there. That's what is looks like when you get a fair interview. Even Hillary complained that she was treated better on Fox than by the lefty media. The history there of course is that they were all in the tank for Hillary until a younger and prettier face came along - Obama- and then they threw her under the bus.
When the FBI originally released the “final” crime data for 2022 in September 2023, it reported that the nation’s violent crime rate fell by 2.1%. This quickly became, and remains, a Democratic Party talking point to counter Donald Trump’s claims of soaring crime. But the FBI has quietly revised those numbers, releasing new data that shows violent crime increased in 2022 by 4.5%. The new data includes thousands more murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults. The Bureau – which has been at the center of partisan storms – made no mention of these revisions in its September 2024 press release.
"But the FBI has quietly revised those numbers, releasing new data that shows violent crime increased in 2022 by 4.5%. The new data includes thousands more murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults." So where is this revised data? Certainly there must be a link to it online?
Its hyper-linked in my original post https://crimeresearch.org/2024/10/t...rted-how-does-the-fbi-miss-that-many-murders/
Harris says violent crime is down. Trump says it's up. Here's a fact check. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/violent-crime-rate-trump-harris-fact-check/
So tell us.... is crime up from 2020 until 2023? "According to that FBI, the rate of violent crimes — defined as rape, robbery, aggravated assault and homicide — was around 6% lower in 2023 than in 2020."
A number of high crime Democrat cities stopped reporting their crime statistics to the FBI. This reporting should be mandatory if they want Federal aid.
So demonstrate to us what cities stopped reporting and how this impacted the FBI data -- with respected news sources rather than right-wing websites and social media. Every time we outline that the Trump assertions that violent crime rose under the Biden administration are not true -- the next step is for MAGA to revert to the "Democratic cities were not reporting the data" claim which also turned out to be not true.
