Agree it's a terrible slogan. No one that isn't already firmly on your side and well-informed is going to understand that it doesn't actually mean to get rid of the police altogether, especially when they are already primed by their criticism of cancel culture to interpret it that way. And no one is going to go google the slogan to make sure they're interpreting it correctly!

It's incredibly counterproductive. Just like the Abolish ICE slogan. People thought that meant we should just throw open the borders.

As I watch and applaud the incredible ads being made against Trump by Never Trump Republican political operatives, I am slack-jawed at how brilliant their messaging is and how terrible ours is. ”

+1 you have to think about your “audience”. Is it people already 100% in your side or a bigger slice of the population? Too often Liberal democrats seem to ignore that importance of messaging and winning people to your ideas vs just tossing out slogans.

- moderate D who until I saw this thread thought “defund the police” meant “defund the police” and so was the stupidest idea since “defund ICE”. [/quote]
