Democratic presidential candidates have so far looked to distinguish themselves with flashy new policy proposals. Less celebrated, but perhaps just as revealing, are the past positions they've held that they're now running away from.
Even 37-year-old Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, who is largely building his national platform from scratch, isn't immune. In April, he announced he would no longer take donations from lobbyists and, catching up to a recent trend in Democratic politics of activists demanding a tougher stance on money in politics.
Biden recently softened the edges of his tough-on-crime record, telling an audience at an event honoring Martin Luther King Jr. that he madewhen he served in the Senate by backing increased penalties for certain drug crimes, including harsher sentences for crack cocaine compared with powder cocaine. Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., belongs to a later generation that was more accustomed to criticism from criminal justice reform advocates, but she has also qualified parts of her record. Harris toldlast month that a California law modeled on her district attorney policy of threatening the parents of truant children with prosecution had"unintended consequences" when other localities used it to arrest and charge offenders, something she had not done.
"Almost every Democrat who was in public office in the '90s has explaining and apologizing to do when it comes to criminal justice reform," McIntosh said."Ditto the early aughts and marriage equality." that Colorado's approach was"so much better than the old system where we sent millions of kids to prison, most of them kids of color."after previously opposing it at the state level.

Wow! You mean candidates are trying to be responsive to what voters want? Shocking! Perhaps we’ll end up with a platform that reflects the values of Democratic voters!

Shifty Democrats
Revising = pandering
They all need to embrace legal cannabis, it is a winning issue. Americans are sick & tired of paying 60 grand a year to keep someone in a private prison for a fifty dollar bag of weed.
Except Bernie, the people's candidate
And the one thing NO Democrat candidate will be saying is, 'the Libertarians were right about this one all-along.' But we obviously were. And it's one of the MANY reasons we've LONG needed to take the Civics 101 step & OpenTheDebates
Everything they do is shifty
Can someone tell us who is sponsoring the CLEAR LOSER Stacy Abrams to stand up and claim she WON? I would assume its B. Obama and friends (Oprah Winfrey) since they thought she would win after they endorsed her. Anyway, dems trying to set her up for V.P. WON'T WORK!
That headline word choice, read it as ... 💩 👀
Democracy is in peril. Trump/Republicans are a clear and present danger that's what they all need to be saying.
Wow. Americans are smarter than people credit them for. CNN Poll: 69% Want Investigation into Obama DOJ's 2016 Spying. CNN? More than two-thirds of Americans want an investigation into the Justice Department’s handling of the Russia Collusion Hoax.
Yeah. That's what thinking people do. Revise and update positions with time and more information. Not hold onto antiquated positions.
Most of them will race to the far left during primary season. Today's Democratic Party has moved much further left than the GOP has to the right. The term Far Right is FakeNews. We're pretty much where we were in the 80's.
Meanwhile, Mango Mussolini passed his 10,000th lie since taking office.....
'It's easier to fall for anything than to stand for something.'
The democrats are full of anger, fake outrage and are generally unhinged. Trump2020
They can say whatever they want, Trump will be reelected. 😎 Trump2020
That’s the meanest thing you’ve ever said about a Democrat.
NBC calls it 'revise' Everyone else in America calls it ' Saying whatever you think the crowd wants to hear'
