which reminded me of this, went back and found it, from his first Town Hall in mid September-lots of experience navigating the wedge issue game:

Biden took a question tailor-made to drive a wedge between black & white working-class voters, and turned it into a unifying moment, without falling into the trap of equating the experience of race prejudice with class prejudice.

This is a master class in navigating divides. https://t.co/4mVnNahH3w

While Trump is the opposite, he riles up wedge issues (i.e. "culture wars") just for personal attention, Trump as a narcissist who is interested in "ratings" above all, has become an expert at that over the years.

Makes me think of how good Biden is at traversing the divide on this issue, been doing it all along for years:

There is no record of Joe Biden using the term 'super predator,' NBC News and FactCheck.org report

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has never publicly used the term "super predator," according to FactCheck.org and NBC News. The term, which specifically refers to crime theory related to inner city youth, was famously uttered by Hillary Clinton — not Joe Biden — according to NBC News, FactCheck.org and other fact-checkers.

I know this topic is supposed to be about people behaving nicely or badly in public spaces but another reason the GOP team is failing at the law and order meme is the explosion of indictments coming out in a very conservative DOJ. Rep. Himes explains it well:

This is all about Trump's temperament

In a Pew poll released this week, 49 percent of respondents said they were very or somewhat confident Biden could effectively handle law enforcement and criminal justice issues; 44 percent were confident in Trump’s ability to do so.

But perhaps most damningly, 58 percent of Americans surveyed by Fox News said they thought the way Trump talks about racial inequality and the police was actually leading to an increase in acts of violence. Just 38 percent said the same of the former vice president.

Biden, in short, is beating Trump on one of the key issues on which Trump wanted to base his reelection campaign.

Biden's criteria for police funding

In his interview with Barkan, Biden does answer “yes” to redirecting some funding, but then changes the topic from policing to prison reform. The former vice president says the prison system “should be a rehabilitation system, not a punishment system,” and that the formerly incarcerated should be given the same rights and be entitled to the same federal programs as Americans who have never gone to prison.

Biden’s “Yes, absolutely” response in this interview does not reflect his campaign’s stance on police reform. Available joebiden.com/justice/ , his platform for criminal justice reform promises to “reinvigorate community-oriented policing” by strengthening the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program, “which authorized funding both for the hiring of additional police officers and for training on how to undertake a community policing approach.” Biden intends to “reinvigorate” the program with a $300-million investment, contingent on officers mirroring the diversity of their communities.

In an interview with Norah O’Donnell ( here ) aired by CBS just three days before the NowThis clip was published, Biden said, “I don’t support defunding the police… I support conditioning federal aid to police, based on whether or not they meet certain basic standards of decency and honorableness.”

third time cross-linking it, it's sounding more correct all the time

Joe Biden, Oct. 5: they need more money, not less, they need increased budgets

and protesters calling for defunding look more incorrect all the time, not to mention counterproductive in the extreme in some cases.
