I've noticed that this is a position which many people will reflexively consider nuts. I think this may change over time and turn into a partisan issue. Probably one in which the left takes the wrong side, sadly.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoI think communicating positions like this is a major unsolved political messaging issue. How do you say "this government agency is unreformable and we need to get rid of it" without implying that the government should completely ignore the agency's responsibilities? It'd make things a lot easier if there were a good way to phrase that.
- watwut 6y agoYou would need to at least hint on how what to do about that agency responsibilities. If you said that you want to abolish agency and not a single word about what to replace it with, people rightfully assume you plan to abolish agency.
