In reply to the discussion: James Carville worried Dems set to lose over social issues [View all]bigtree
(85,996 posts)...again, this isn't part of any campaign. It's advocacy by a congresswoman for a reduced police presence in her city's streets and the removal of police from the city's schools. It's her statement in response to DeBlasio's budget.
It's a far cry more responsible than the effort to make it appear AOC is the instigator of the phrase or the main protagonist for whatever people imagine she means by 'defund.'
I daresay her critics don't even care what she means, not Carville, and apparently, not you either. It's just something people use to bash AOC, and lets not forget, an effort to discredit BLM, who actually coined the slogan. That's the effect of mentioning her in this thread, whatever the intent. It's disinformation in a thread about someone spreading disinformation.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised. That's how the anti-defund slogan 'campaign' is designed. It's why it's a thing, why it's being perpetuated. It's intended as a wedge, a way to spark Democratic infighting. Carville is stupidly, or complicitly encouraging that. He needs to go away.
