"Framing" is irrelevant to my statement. I provided concrete evidence of the two mainstream political parties doing exactly what I said they were doing. How a particular slogan like "defund the police" polls is not relevant to the impact of moving $193 billion annual local dollars of police funding to better structured, community-centered alternatives. Conflating evidence-based policy goals and research with how people feel about them in the current present moment is classic misdirection.

> I provided concrete evidence of the two mainstream political parties doing exactly what I said they were doing. Your first article (from Buzzfeed of all places) didn't demonstrate a white nationalist agenda, and if you think the second article supports your point (that Biden is content with whatever white nationalism exists within the Republican party) then I'm not sure we read the same article. The article I read clearly depicts Joe Biden's views that America needs two political parties, that American politics should revert back to the more functional pre-Trump years (and presumably before the alleged mainstreaming of white nationalism that you purport), and that Republicans who want to stay Republicans should do so while voting for Biden. None of that seems controversial at all. > How a particular slogan like "defund the police" polls is not relevant to the impact of moving $193 billion annual local dollars of police funding to better structured, community-centered alternatives. You don't think it's a problem that Black Americans overwhelmingly reject policies (as well as rhetoric and ideology) that are purportedly in their interest? > Conflating evidence-based policy goals and research with how people feel about them in the current present moment is classic misdirection. "Defund/abolish the police" policy goals aren't evidence based. If you'd like to retreat to the moderate position that we should increase social services while reforming policing, then welcome to the moderate club.

  >"Defund/abolish the police" policy goals aren't evidence based. This is absolutely false. Community groups have been putting together actionable, concrete and evidence-based abolition-centered strategies since the first slave-catchers were paid by the state.
