Look, if you want to continue catering to pissbabies and racists about “defund the police,” that’s your choice. I’ve seen your arguments, and I have found them extremely wanting.

The term "defund the police" is unpopular, but the policies it refers to are popular and effective. What's our priority, the slogan, or the policies? Is our energy most efficiently spent with the easier sell of the policies, or with clarifying the slogan?

We progressives need to be more cognizant of how our slogans sound to others. And no, not just to racists and fascists. "Defund the police" is effective at one thing - eliciting cheers from the left. And not even the entire left - many progressives are also turned off by it.

Exactly. Let's stop spending our energy picking objectively bad slogans then having to explain what we really mean by then - and instead use that effort to get policies enacted which will save lives.

It's not the entire problem, no. But it's a major handicap, and trivial to fix. We'd get a lot of bang for the buck if we just go with "reform the police", "reorganize the police", or something of the like.

"Defund" is.. so bad. If it was later revealed that a MAGA-head snuck into one of our meetings and suggested it to sabotage our efforts, and we took it and ran, I wouldn't be surprised. We could be playing this game on "story" mode and instead we keep picking "nightmare"

Why don’t you go look up some newspaper articles from Brown v. Board of Education, or Loving v Virginia and get back to me
