At 2:28 the Rational National says "abolish the police" is the actual activist position. He then says "defund the police" is a compromise. Me thinks he intentionally left out the words "for now". So if one is against abolishing the police why would one want to let the activists that want to abolish get their first step towered their goal.

We still have free speech in this country so the Rational National can say he knows more about what strategy will help or hurt the progressive cause than Barack Obama, Jim Clyborn, and reportedly the late Jim Lewis but if I were a betting man I would put my money on the latter 3.

I remember people were pretty upset with planned parenthood being defunded.
