She’s not wrong. Democrats, as you’ve said, are bad at campaigning. Republicans know how to use fear and emotions, and “defund the police” and “socialism” play into that. Labels and messaging matter and Democrats fail at messaging. Leadership doesn’t support defunding the police, but they let that label get attached to them. They let conservatives define anything that involves liberals spending money as “socialism”.
