Just so you guys know how badly “defund the police” hurt around NYC: My kid last night told me over pizza that even though Nicole Malliotakis “is a fraud, fraud, fraud” he would still have voted for her over Max Rose because why WAS he at that protest anyway.

And that fundamental flaw resonated in the mind of even a very passive, uninformed person who saw a few TV ads. You’d better believe it mattered to voters in several districts around here.

Or it means you have the comprehension of a 6 year old.

What a surprise, the 6.5 year old is repeating stuff he heard his mom say.

Defunding the police doesn’t mean eliminating the police, it means reducing their funding and moving it to more useful areas. You know how you and your kind always want to defund the schools to give rich people tax cuts? It’s like that but actually good for society

Its a fair point, and it wouldn’t have been my choice of battle cries either, but what does it say about our democracy that many voters are willfully as passive and uninformed as a 6.5 yr old? Its why USA Today keeps things on a 6th grade reading level.

Defunding the policy means that you shift the money from law enforcement to crime prevention. Imagine taking a billion $ and ensuring poor people go to school and not buying more Army surplus. You will still have local policy, but they would not show up in any grear.
