believe the system works. But they are wasting the opportunity. The progress made with BLM is being undermined by "Defund the Police". I get it and agree with a lot of what your saying, but the rest of us who want to see things changed are frustrated by their undermining the ability to actually do so. Now do I think we can get 100% of what they want? Absolutely not. But this generation needs to learn that better is good and the perfect is the enemy of the good. The need for purity among ideas of young progressives is their biggest impediment to getting things done.
