I’m a millennial and I think it has been for most of my life. Ive seen two people become president who didn’t win the popular vote- and I long ago became convinced this system can’t be fixed. It’s working against the poor, for the rich as it was meant to. We need to tear it down and try again, we need drastic change. This said, police abolition and even the barest redistribution of funds from that to address the living conditions that cause crime in this country is one shortcut I fully believe in. Police organizations started as slave patrols and even today primarily criminalize poverty and hurt struggling individuals. They have no duty or obligation to prevent violent crime. Furthermore, in America it’s one of the most overbloated areas of federal spending and that money could easily give everyone a higher quality of life instead of being used to turn free-thinking citizenry into free labor and sustain the brutalist temples of inhumane evil called prisons.

It’s been dead for a bit, people are just realizing. Which is why they’re renewing efforts to disarm regular people.
