advocating "Defund the Police"? I don't care what words you keep using that speaks of policy, or Maher objecting to the NYT article, or the NYT article itself, the term "Defund the Police", that exact wording, has not been used for years. It was created, as you said, during the George Floyd demonztrations...that exact wording. It's dumb and a vote loser.

We all need to stop using it as it's just fodder ror republican ads to defeat Dem candidates.
