    Yall know most people don't want police to be gone in America? Unless you have the literal government campaign to remove police then they'll always be here.

    The best you can do is to campaign to remove police budgets that gives them access to military gear

    No

    I don't know how accurate this is for across the board for America, but it'll take years of campaigning and eduction to get people out of the mindset of the need for police.

    At least people are starting to agree more that private prisons are s*** and need to be gone

    Nah. If anything "defund the police" is too nice given the decades of police violence and corruption that has gone on in the US.

    We gotta keep making "appropriate" and "non-combative" slogans for police reform while police gets to continue abusing their power and killing people? Folk more mad about and focused on a truthful slogan than they are about police misconduct?

    Couldn't be me...

    Like what other slogan would you want for police...well to be defunded so our tax money can go towards better programs/services that do not require police involvement?

    What? Do we need to say the full thing? I don't think "Defund the police so we can reallocate the funds to EMT and mental crisis response units so they can deal with mentally ill people so the police won't shoot them" rolls off the tongue as well.

    Anything but defund

    “Reform the police/police reform”

    “Demilitarize the police”

    “Make policing safe again”

    Literally anything would be better

    I am mad about police brutality

    But saying to abolish the police or something will not win any swing voters at all

    This is what I’ve been trying to say to these folks

    Running on “defund the police” won’t work in swing states at all, if anything outside of D+20 districts defund the police will hurt us

  • If Osoff Warnock and Kelly ran on defunding the police, McConnel would still be the Senate majority leader

    Fam imma be real with you. It doesn't matter HOW you try to rephrase the slogan. People are going to be against it no matter what. You got cops and people who cape for them pushing back against "Stop killing us!".

    They took "Black lives matter" and turned it into "Blue lives matter". They took "I can't breath!" and turned it into "I can breathe!"

    People and politicians know exactly what is meant by "Defund the police". They just don't give a f*** and will be damned if they actually have to commit to any kind of police reform.

    Reallocate police funding

    Or

    Redistribute police funding

    Still 3 words and conveys exact what we want to do

  • May 21, 2021

    Slogan might be buttcheeks but anyone who wasn’t born from incest could put their two brain cells together and figure out the police need to be defunded and generally rebranded as a community tool and not a knockoff military branch

    I’m not talking about the fascists

    The fascists will oppose anything the democrats will want

    I’m talking about the white suburban voters that helped us win last year that are turning increasingly to the democrat party

    Suburban whites who voted for Biden aren’t saying blue lives matter/I can breath

    They have the kindness is everything sign up

    Who is this “they” you’re referring to?

  • You can make it "reallocate police funding" all you want. But I guarantee you it's still gonna be some stupid ass people apart of that white suburban majority who are going to be "But if we reallocate the police funds that means they won't have the means to protect us incase of an emergency!"

    And just like that, "Reallocate police funding" is dead.

    So appeal to the group of people who have historically never had to worry about these kinds of issues...
