I see liberals using this phrase everywhere: "We can do better." I've seen 3 mayors in my state use this phrase.
In 2019 only TEN unarmed black men/women were killed by police. If we bring that number down to two, or even zero, is that "doing better". The answer is no, it wouldn't be.
Nothing will ever please them. They don't want to set specific goals, specific achievements. There is no final achievement or milestone to reach. You will always be bad, white Americans will always be bad. Even if the number went from 10 to 0.
That is one thing to note about liberals. There is never any good news. During the coronavirus lockdown if you told them any good news:
"hey zinc and vitamin D helps", "hey taking a walk and getting some sunlight helps", "hey there's only 15 hospitalizations in this city of 2.5million, that's pretty good".
They don't want to hear it. Their NPC face scrunches up in anger. Everything's always bad. There's no positive news.
So many great points about empty slogans and what I view as the "deliberate dumbing down of politics".
You are spot on about "There's no positive news". They are a total misery cult. So is every other sub-cult of the left like feminism.
That's the formula of every leftist social post:
step 1: WE statement step 2: Shame all of those who disagree with an inflammatory word step 3: Avoid any and all positivity/solutions
