New York Democrats lost the crime debate. They want a redo.

1. We do these reforms but fail to consider how the GOP can run with it

Inoculation is an oft-ignored part of Democratic politics in my view. You make your ideas and policies and platforms as seaworthy as possible, you look for holes, plug leaks, thwart the other sides' rebuttals.

Someone should have considered what lax criminal justice policies would spawn.

In 2016, we didn't have to lead with transgender bathrooms. It sounded good to Democrats, but the general public was spooked and red counties were on fire. Again failure to consider consequences in the middle/right of the political spectrum.
