    You seem learned and informed to just mislabel the defund the police movement

    I was responding to the sentiment that this creates and that if one were to strive for complete police defunding (which some people actually do), situations like CHAZ would arise. I am all for police reform, but don’t label it police defunding even if its taking some money from them. I get that it gets the anarchists on your side with a name like that, but it does no good to society.

    If you want to reform the police, maybe labelling the movement “reform the police” instead of “defund the police” would do more good.

    Would probably bring actual change as you wouldn’t alienate 80% of the population just by the name of your movement.

    And what intentionally divisive identitarian nonsense are you referring to exactly?

    Manichean anti/racist thought and the white supremacy conspiracy theory

    Well defunding the police would make what people want to accomplish impossible

    So yes you’re right because nobody should be comfortable with a foolish idea that wouldn’t help the problem

    well that more or less substantiates that there is a problem with the name, if you are trying to get something passed you don't want it to have a name that makes a vast majority uncomfortable

    Clearly I am not. I said so. No police means anarchy. You need to reform police, not let everyone run wild.

    The definition of defund is “to prevent from continuing to recieve funds” it’s the same as abolishing in this case.

    Policing needs to be redesigned not defunded

    And in order to do that, you need more funding

    Leftists are so foolish

    A shocking amount of people don’t have a single clue how the government works. Things like budget allocation are foreign to them. There’s even quite some people who don’t have a clue what electoral votes are. The American education system has failed in some vital aspects. They don’t prepare kids well enough for the real world. Schools should mainly teach kids how to get jobs and how the economy and government works if you ask me. Things like physics are nice, but the majority of people will never use it again in their lives.
