Let's look at if "Defund the Police" was a good idea, assuming "good" in this context was getting places to divert funding as suggested.

Was the catchphrase popular with the right wing? No, not at all, it made them hate the left even more. Fair enough I guess, we have different ideas.

Did it catch on with Liberals? Well no not then either. Obama hated it, Biden hated it. They felt it made them look really stupid and they had to clarify what it was "supposed to mean" over and over or they just tossed the idea out as fringe.

So how in any way shape or form was it a good catch phrase? Again, firing up your own little bubble does very little in terms of successful actual progress.

Liberals didnt like it because theyre afraid of finger waggers like you, but also deep down they dont really want to upset these corrupt institutions like they say they do. Do you think Biden wants to actually reform the police in any capacity? Of course not, and people like you are largely to blame. Well never see any comprehensive reform so long as people like you can gin up fake outrage over the language of activist slogans more than outrage over actual, material harm and injustice. To you, saying defund the police at a protest is worse than rampant police brutality. You dont even really care about democracy or election integrity, because you care more about chastising Katie Porter OVER FUCKING NOTHING than actual electoral reform. This is what happens when people care more about optics and aesthetics than concrete policy. You become the very thing you hate. Fascists are all morons and losers, they arent the real threat. The real threat comes from people like you who cant get out of the way of progress.
