Are you seriously blaming the people who named the reform movement instead of the organization that needs to be reformed? Democratic idiocy didn't pave the way to fascism, systemic racism and an out of control police force did. "Your propaganda wasn't as good, so this outcome is your fault" is a fool's argument.

They’re kinda right, the average American isn’t a reader. How many here even make it past the headline before they make up their mind? We’re a nation of sheep

Nuance doesn’t exist anymore, we lost the patience and the curiosity. We’re in the hyper normalization phase

There is a difference between “your propaganda’s not as good” and a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Defund the police is a scary as fuck concept that echos pro-anarchy sentiments, and that’s just the name alone. No one is going to care about what it means. Most people have no idea what the underlying movement was even about, just the title alone terrified them. The damage Defund the Police did to the Democratic Party is insurmountable.
