1. āDefund the policeā means reallocating or redirecting funding away from the police department to other government agencies
as you said, it's not abolition
you're taking a chunk of the police budget away and moving it elsewhere (community projects)
what did i get glaringly wrong lmfao
2. im talking about the long game. i don't believe the country can become progressive overnight, no matter the wishful thinking. arguable obama ever had a supermajority: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/debunking-the-myth-obamas_b_1929869, but completely thats beside my point
but even then it was obvious that his policies, even as middle-of-the-ground as they were, were extremely unpopular in a sizeable chunk of the country, enough that one of trump's presidential themes is basiacally just "fuck obama!!!"
i feel the needlepoint of the whole nation will slowly shift more progressiv
it is a step in the process of abolition lol. the point is to defund the police, say by 25-30%, allocate the funds towards social services. you keep educating the people, watching the crime drop etc., they begin to realize that the role of police is not safety, you defund them even more, and get to the point of abolition. so yes, defunding the police means abolishing the police.
but defunding literally means eventually removing all of their budget, ceasing the existence of police. why'd you lie to your family
I don't want to remove police lmao. Someone needs to handle traffic and s***
You're being too nuanced. You know what he meant with defund rhetoric. I had the same argument with my family and I had to explain defunding didn't mean removing all their budget. People for some reason think to the extreme with that statement.
Language and how you use your words is important dude
u the last person needing to be telling synopsis how to use his words just saying
trump seeing they're about to recount in GA

Yo hes joking š stop d*** sucking
no s*** its a joke smoothbrain
why do you think i said BAN over something so simple
Whatās wrong daddy
I dreamt the house burnt down and I couldnāt escape in time
He had 4 years to make America great and look what he did
Gotta keep it movin
Obama had 8 what happen?
Youāre not wrong but donāt understand how you, synopsis, and others arguing in this vein donāt see how libs are at least closer. Especially with a growing progressive faction in their party
closer to what? the progressives in their party even know what it is. AOC said it herself "in another country, me and biden would not be in the same party"
Trump gon hold the White House hostage
Till Jan 21 and the secret service escort him to a Penske
people for years: kanye is an egomaniac, he loves himself
now after heās ran for president and literally voted for himself: nah heās def a Trump supporter
what does this post even say lol
he supported trump for so long, enabling him, and now he distanced himself away enough to take the heat off but they still contributed to him
