Something I'm trying is to say "punishment-first approach to public safety" instead of "tough on crime." To us leftists, the second phrase has a bad connotation, but to the general public, it doesn't. The politicians who popularized it used it as a selling point. To reach people who don't already agree with us, we have to frame the issue our way and not our opponents' way

Alec Karakatsanis uses "punishment bureaucracy" instead of "justice system" but I'm not sure how to slip that one into conversation
