      It's true, Biden's "We must defund the police" slogan was a serious tactical error, I don't know what he was thinking embracing this sloganhttps://twitter.com/JamesSurowiecki/status/1334140495585546241 …

      Was thinking more AOC and Ilhan Omar, as well as a wide range of liberal organizations, all of whom made sure Democrats generally were widely associated in the public mind with the slogan "defund the police."

      Did AOC and Omar run on "defund the police"? Also there are literally thousands of liberal organizations in USA. Is it possible to gag all of them so they won't say "defund the police"?

          Who’s talking about gagging? People should say what they want. I’m just saying they should stop pretending it didn’t cost Democrats votes around the country.

          Like, how many officials (rightfully) went to these protest? It didn’t matter what platform they did or did not run on. They were tied to these activists.

          Is it possible to influence them, such as by the leaders they respect taking a different approach and explaining why it’s better?

          Doesn't really matter. Republicans will say they did anyway.

          AOC didn't, the closest she came was sort of expressing sympathy for it on an AMA. Cori Bush did. But a fraction of one percent of the Dem house caucus at most and obvs no senators.
