it’s far-left support, it will shift any core principle to appease them.

Here’s a quote from Biden from the 90’s:

“ I know it’s hard to believe, but this very day, violent drug offenders will commit more than 100,000 crimes — on this day alone. And the sad part is that we have — we have no more police in the streets of our major cities than we had 10 years ago. And what the president proposes won’t help much. What he proposes is no increase over what the Congress has already approved last year. In a nutshell, the president’s plan doesn’t include enough police officers to catch the violent thugs, not enough prosecutors to convict them, not enough judges to sentence them and not enough prison cells to put them away for a long time.”
