From tengrain at Mock Paper Scissors:
We are Terrible At Messaging. Defund The Police is just the latest example of a good policy that has a bad name. We are giving ammo (pun intended) to the Right.
SoyBlo tries to lay a trap for Kamala Harris shows us what the problem is:
At the end of Harris’ superb explanation, McCain continues to not understand Defund the Police. I don’t think that’s an act, and yes she is as dumb as dirt, but she’s about as reachable as the GOP gets.
Defund the Police is a terrible name for what is a good policy goal; its misleading name suggests that there would be nobody left to prevent crime.
