This is a *wild* poll result. Not only has Trump/GOP been promoting the defund message in paid media, earned media, every media for a month straight, there are actually.(some) activists making the police abolition case they can cite.https://twitter.com/bkamisar/status/1280881950681595904 …

I’d tell you one of those political factions and agendas is doing a pretty poor job filling it in based on the result

Can’t the same be said for political concepts like ‘equality’, liberalism’ and ‘free-speech’?

And wouldn’t such an argument contradict the appeal to ‘free-speech as neutrality’ that motivated the Harper’s letter you signed yesterday?

You go from giving credence to caricatures of Derrida, as a linguist nihilist who says any meaning is possible, to taking up that caricature yourself. Of course, words -- political slogans -- have no single fixed meanings. But they can't be given any meaning.

Political slogans should be self-understood in their context: that is the beauty of Black Lives Matters. When you have a slogan that has to be explained, shown to be something other than its common usage, it is a bad slogan.

That makes no sense — when political actors fill them in with agendas, that imbues them with meaning.
