Sorry... I keep meaning to complete this assignment but it's a big one. I don't understand what "defund the police" actually means and I just can't bring myself to take the time to do it between my busy work schedule, movie nights with the family, a new hobby that I've started, and the swimming pool calling my name. I need to figure this out so I'll get to it eventually.

I figured it was just you running away from everything but a knee jerk pithy one line rhetorical comment. Which seems to be in vogue.

I guess when you get antsy about Tucker's writer enough to keep responding to yourself about that, that issue overcomes the "very busy work schedule, movie nights with the family, a new hobby that I've started, and the swimming pool calling my name." Amazing that.

Yeah... or I'm just busy and have better things to do.

This defunding the police thing isn't exactly a "gotcha" for me as I am guessing it is something that I would oppose. I'm not running away from this topic. I just don't want to comment on something about which I have zero insight.

Have a nice day.

Yet when the people you elect and support start doing these things, you wash your hands of the matter by saying "I oppose this".

Yeah... that's what you have to do when you have a two-party system that has moved to the extremes. Moderates are left out in the cold.
