Social Democrats have no principles
Sometimes the Overton Window graaadually shifts to the Right, like a frog being boiled slowly...no one notices it happen. This is not one of those times lol. They're doing it openly and causing whiplash with their abrupt turn. "Having leftist principles was crazyyyy of us. We were such children back then. Oh but we've grown up now, we're more practical about these things now".
People who are dumb enough to watch this Overton shift happen with their eyes and still not realize that it is happening shouldn't be trusted to operate a toaster safely.
Ppl who disagree are gonna say the "Defund the Police had crazy bad messaging and negative PR due to poor phrasing" talking point. But that's not AOC's or Mamdani's reasoning behind calling it CRAZYYY, so don't put words in their mouths.
AOC literally said "Francesca has moved away from it".
AOC did not say,"Francesca understands now that the phrase Defund the Police was unpalatable, but she still supports all those same policies, she just calls it something else now."
And Mamdani's reasoning was "...over time what you believe in can change and it can grow". Nothing in there about "poor phrasing". These people are fucking sellouts.
