Please friend, don’t use that source to form any opinions. When you see “defund” think “re-allocate”. When you see “build the wall” think “arrest the employers who exploit desperate people”. When you see “woke” think “aware”.

I’m sure your military duty showed you how much can be accomplished when “the people” work together. We have to stop fighting amongst ourselves. If you lose your job and they come and take everything you worked for away ……. You’re part of the working class.

If you mean reallocate say reallocate, not defund, which is what is exactly what they mean.

Care to elaborate?

No, it is clear as day. Say the words you mean. Then people won’t misinterpret it.

I’m going to hazard a guess you’re not a member of the Algonquin Roundtable.

In any event it means to, for example, provide funds for mental health professionals to deal with people who have mental health problems. And to provide the same care for law enforcement personnel.

So why is it so difficult to say reallocate police funding? It would be far more effective in getting your goals realized.

So I was raised to learn something new everyday and do one nice thing everyday.

I learned something from you and you did one nice thing. Both our days are half complete. :).
