(20,866 posts)Policing, not restructuring of the budget. That's an open goal for Republicans to kick Democrats in key states, with fear mongering ads that they are soft on law and order. The vast majority of the American voters aren't clued in like you, to understand the nuances of what you mean by Defund, and when Democratic candidates are on Clean up on Aisle 4, they're losing when they're explaining.
It's easy for Barbara Lee to not care about her words, when she's in a safe 90-10 district, but it's completely selfish and short sighted when the Democratic Party are fighting hard to win over the many swing districts. The Democrats won't be able to change the many wrongs in society because of Barbara Lee's vote alone, but hey, at least you were able to hit them with provocative words and slogans. Super.
