In reply to the discussion: Squad Members Clap Back at Obama's 'Defund the Police' Clapback [View all]Jirel
(2,344 posts)Its a weak phrase that has been watered down until it means nothing. You also have to explain Reform the Police, so its no better. All it stands for now is endless broken promises to the African-American community.
Its time to embrace and own Defund the Police. Apparently only the right wing is allowed to say anything it wants and fu** everyones feelings about it, according to some people. Thats pretty sad.
We heard this angst over Black Lives Matter too. That objection is mostly dead, thank goodness.
If you like the votes of young people, African American people, and the progressive dude of the party, its time to stop whining about Defund the Police, and instead embrace it and work toward that vision. Or 4 years from now, the squishy moderates will be looking for excuses for why we have Donald Trump for another term.
