    I think the discourse that's been really pissing me off the most lately is the shitting on BLM activists for wanting to "defund the police" because they claim it scares off people. I can't believe the amount of people going off saying how horrible the messaging is and that we should do something nicer like "reforming the police."

    Imagine looking at history and still deciding not to take a stand on something because it "doesn't poll well. " Like go fight to make it happen, popular or not because it's the right thing to do!

    I remember when people were saying "oh we should allow LGBT members to have civil unions, but gay marriage is just infringing on traditional marriage" less than a decade ago and now it's more or less normalized in liberal circles. I wonder why? Maybe because activists were pushing the fucking issue?????

    I've unironically seen somebody claiming hillary clinton was smart to not support gay marriage in 2008 because "it didn't poll well" so nothing surprises me anymore. :agony-yehaw:

        "if you have to give full details to explain your 3 word slogan, it's bad messaging" :galaxy-brain:

          Liberals: "I'm better than conservatives, I can't be manipulated by dog whistles"

          Also liberals: "If you can't make a catchy slogan out of it is if really that good of a policy?"
