You mean the centrist liberals right? Progressives are 100% on board with changing the way law enforcement is done, top to bottom. Its a core of their platform.

The left can't communicate what it wants law enforcement to be.

Actually they have. Many times. They mainly want to defund the police and use these funds for other social programs meant to reduce crime overall. Social housing is one of them. Legalizing drugs, sex work, increasing wages to allow people to afford their basic needs like shelter and food, providing better access to mental health services and social workers, etc.

Conservatives on the other hand want the opposite. They want to defund everything else and give it all to the cops who are just going to beat up and arrest people who are clearly in need of help. Can't afford shelter? Camp in a park. But that's illegal. Can't afford food? Steal it. But that's illegal. Can't get mental health? Go in full mental breakdown and use illegal drugs to try and self medicate. But that's illegal.

Get the point?

Ah I see, its all the out of power progressives fault. Darn those progressives. Powerless and maligned but completely at fault for the abuses of leadership.

Aslo you frame it as if it was simply a problem of progressives communicating what centrists and the right just somehow cant see, or the centrists and right being willing to listen.

Could it be the centrists and right know exactly what the problems are and choose not to address them?
