(6,699 posts)Who ever came up with this should be investigated to see which goputin operative they really are. This was a nightmare when it came out. A scary slogan...and that ad is going to cost the progressive movement MILLIONS of votes all down the ballot. Dumb ass move.
Why must the Democrats ALWAYS kill their own chances for change??

(12,265 posts)The defund the police phrase. It is terrifying many voters and I do not care how you explain it. In our own city they are collecting signatures to recall our mayor and three city council members over that phrase. It appears it may be successful. Stop using that phrase!

Such as:
Training
Cameras
No choke hold policy
Have other measurable goals and reward monetarily. This would be easy.
STOP the Defunding BS!

(666 posts)I am in favor of defunding the police.
In fact, I am in favor of abolishing the police.
We liberals are eternally afraid of stating our liberal positions because we think it will hurt us with the electorate. Oh god, don't favor the gender bathroom issue, we might lose the votes of Bubba and Wilma who wouldn't vote for a Democrat if God told them to.
Have the courage of your convictions and debate the issues passionately. Who gives a crap if we frighten their base. Their base invents issues - Benghazi anyone? Birth certificate? International pedophile ring? Obama didn't stop 9/11? Hillary eats babies? Covid vaccine to inject microchips into you?
The police need to be defunded and so does the military (Over $2,000,000,000 per day!!!).
