As discussed yesterday, it is a problematic slogan. -- nm - pmb Jun 10, 06:44
It’s not completely wrong to read a word that means something and apply that meaning to it. - Will Hunting Jun 10, 06:29 1
- Your mistake is in agreeing with them that it only means that one absolute thing. -- nm - znufrii Jun 10, 07:13
It's incredibly stupid to use "defund" when the Republicans used "defund Planned Parenthood". The connotative meaning is obvious. -- nm - Inigo Jun 10, 05:49 6
- I mean that’s the literal dictionary definition. I think whoever came up with it means exactly that, and every moderate on board is trying to explain - mafic Jun 10, 07:31
- I assumed that was why they chose it. -- nm - spamlet Jun 10, 06:17
- Shame that they can’t imagine being treated any better than the horrible way they treat others. - znufrii Jun 10, 06:10 2
  - The point I was making is that Republicans used defund to mean "get rid of" intentionally. They wanted that association. - Inigo Jun 10, 06:25
  - (Also, incidentally exposes their true motivations that it’s not just about abortion.) -- nm - znufrii Jun 10, 06:18
- Who came up with it? -- nm - loosilu Jun 10, 05:56
