Most of my D friends are simple minded but are compromised with lucrative jobs or own companies that are in the middle of all this BS money making enterprise and are bought off to STFU, take the jabs and boosters to be fully compliant, obey orders from above, wear a mask, support Ukraine in their war against Russia, support Joe sending $33,000,000,000 to help the Ukraines and 100% be pro-choice up to birth and don't believe for a second that Hunter's lap top is real and not from hell and just Russia disinformation. I actually have an old dear friend who hates me now. He really does hate me and will not talk to me because I told him the truth, that he was a big phony, fake, selfish and self centered, mama's boy and abig whimp. It's guys like this that women don't want to keep their baby. I know one young lady who was in love with her man. Dude told her, "let's keep it." Well, dude bailed 5 months into her pregnancy and now wants her to abort. Now what? I would like @watfly and @whatithink to give their two cents on this moral dilemma. Let me add the father who bailed got arrested days later.Support for BLM, idiots like gascon and other similar types in other cities are a major reason why minorities are moving away from the Ds.
Crime spikes have really hurt those who can least afford it...ie minorities.
But as you see in SF and other cities with the smash and grab stuff at places like Walgreens, etc..now your middle of the road D moderates are now thinking WTF is going on with these policies.
Right now the D party is run by a small but vocal group who want to defund the police, are all in on transgenderism, all in on open borders, etc. Those issues do not resonate with the moderate Ds, the independents, or most minorities. As a matter of fact they turn off most people.
