The author of this piece is a well-known Republican fundraiser. He's not here to give Democrats advice on why they shouldn't trust polls. The majority of his piece focuses on defunding the police as a Democrat's ideal, which is false. Joe Biden has not embraced defunding the police. And everyone outside the Twitter universe, which, as he points out is not the real world, does not want to "defund" the police. The slogan "Defund the Police" needs to be reworded because it doesn't accurately portray the thinking behind it--which is to reallocate some of the funds now going to the police to other sectors, like mental health experts, domestic abuse counselors and people who can climb trees to retrieve your neighbor's cat.
