Reply to comment by lonetravellr in Philly mayoral candidate Jeff Brown criticizes DA Krasner and shifts tone on police funding by User_Name13

“When an attendee chimed in, saying: “They don’t know who they’re voting for,” Brown responded in agreement: ‘I don’t think they really know.’”

That has the ring of something he actually believes at least.

I mean, it definitely sometimes works! But I’d rather vote for someone whose campaign strategy isn’t “fuck it, I’ll just say whatever, they’re all idiots anyway”.

He’s simultaneously actually thinking that the police don’t need any more funding and that more funding for the police is his #1 priority?

I believe he’s worked up about shoplifting and the soda tax because those affect his personal bottom line. But other than that, he’s just telling everybody he gets put in front of what he thinks they want to hear.

Seems like more than that: he thinks that no one's paying enough attention when he panders differently based on which part of city he's in. And that's arrogant AF.
