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.

Can you point to the evidence for this claim? Any evidence? At all?

Everyone asks for “evidence,” then when that evidence is provided - like focus-group results, and the fact that GOP candidates spent heavily on ads tying their opponents to the slogan - everyone says, “That doesn’t count.”

GOP candidates spent heavily on ads in 2018 about caravan and MS-13. Didn't work then. Why would similar ads on police work in 2020?

If you seriously don’t understand why ads about an immigrant caravan that Dems had nothing to do with were less effective than ads about defunding the police, I don’t know what to tell you.

I don't understand why "defund the police" would be effective since Biden ran on giving more money to funding police and every party leader (Pelosi, Schumer, Clyburn, Hoyer) is against it. And all the moderate Dems were against it. Are they bad at messaging?

They all made it clear that they were against it. And, again, if it was something that stuck to Dems nationally, it would stand to reason that the Dem at the top of the ticket would have been hurt most by it. But that clearly didn't happen.
