Now that all of Trump's other imaginary avenues for overturning the election are closed, we're about to hear a lot about his imaginary avenue of faithless electors. But that also has literally zero chance of succeeding. All of this has been an imaginary storyline. It's been over.
If Trump starts pardoning himself and his family, it won't mean he's somehow magically winning. It'll mean he's jumping out of the airplane wearing a parachute made of duct tape and baling wire, and he's hoping it holds.
President Obama is right. "Defund the police" is a terribly ineffective slogan. Most of the public thinks it means something entirely different than what the people using the slogan think it means. That's always a sign that you need to find a different slogan.
Liberal activists are on the correct side of the issues. They do great work. But I'll never understand why so many liberal activists insist on doubling down on failed buzz words like "defund the police" or "socialism" even after it becomes clear that the words aren't resonating.
Do you want to fight a winning battle for societal change, or do you want to fight a losing battle over your own misunderstood slogans? Are your slogans really more important to you than your mission? It's not about you. Ditch your failed slogans. Pick more effective words.
