Anytime you need to explain a slogan, ad executives get boners. FFS, man.

Defund literally means take away funds. That’s the fucking definition.

And we've decided that "take away funds" means "take away ALL funds"....why? -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jun 9, 07:22 5
- Too ambiguous, as “take away some money” can and will be interpreted to mean any number of things - Will Hunting Jun 9, 07:26 3
  - Which is why no one is suggesting that budgets simply be cut indiscriminately. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jun 9, 07:30 2

- It's really simple - if you have to explain it over and over and over - it's a weak slogan. Period. If the other side can rally around YOUR slogan - John Murphy Jun 9, 07:26
