I've kinda wondered how something like expand 911 would be. You make more services under 911 and in order to fund them, you take money away from the cops.
I think that'd be a bit easily co-opted... it's important that people get the right idea from it, but also liberals will run with something like that and just throw more money at cops. "expand 911" would be something liberals can use to do what they already want to do, "defund the police" is something they don't want to do and also can't do anything with because it'll be used as a bludgeon against them by the right. If you wanted to force their hand, the theoretically ideal message would be something that can only mean what you want it to and is clear enough to immediately make sense and sound realistically achievable.
