I agree it's not all in the naming. I also think (regardless of your personal beliefs or anybody else on here who is an abolitionist) that you'd admit that "at the very least" wanting "to defund the police" isn't one of the big ideas that, as a mainstream platform for the Democrats, would have increased the likelihood that Biden wins this election. Could it have helped in some select House or Senate races? I'd argue no but I think there's more of an argument there in some specific states at least.
right, I don't disagree with any of this
but I do stand by my point that moving away from actually defunding the police and actual socialist policies will have consequences with far left voters
I'm not making a judgement on whether or not that's the right move -- but I am making the judgement that it is really fucking hard to find a political home in a mainstream political party in a two-party system
