Lefties Jumping Ship?

I am thinking about it and I have been a die hard Democrat. The left is out of control. The Democratic party cannot survive until we pull it together.
Jump ship for what ? You plan to join the KKK ?
There are still people called [b]moderates[/b]. They existed before and they’ll still exist when the extremes play themselves out.

@bijouxbroussard Oh my gosh, did you just ask if I would join the KKK? Are you really that weak? You do not know even know me.
@KevinOfTheHill You’re the one talking about “jumping ship”. How weak is [b]that[/b] ? I’m just trying to figure out what you’re actually saying.

That's an astute observation. I'm not advocating either side but "the left" used to have a very decidedly middle ground - ie politically middle, socially liberal. That shift to the extreme left, and how it's been tolerated and almost heralded by the press has left a lot of us so-called normal, law abiding sensible people shaking our heads. We're not all 20 year olds living on mommy & daddy's (not directed at you!)...some of us work, thrive and just want to live! There's no place for me throwing rocks or looting under the guise of justice.
@luctoretemergo What about the GOP moving to the far right?
luctoretemergo · 61-69, M
@LeopoldBloom Agreed - but honestly, and I'm going to stereotype here: when was the last time you saw a bunch of white guys in suits breaking things when a verdict did not go their way? You know what they do? They have fund-raisers, raise money then elect a guy that will do their bidding. The right don't want to do that...they want to act like kids. I'm telling you, use the system - it's there to be used!...for better or worse.

@YoungPoet345 I agree with you in spades - that dialogue between the two - that "middle ground"....it's gone....

If you do, you won't be alone. I live in a die hard democrat state, I didn't even know you could vote republican or independent till I was 18 and looking at my first ballot. Lots of democrats I have known my whole life are turning their coat on the party. The last few years, democrats who aren't really democrats, they are socialists, have high jacked the democrat party and went full left. Gender issues, 2nd Amendment issues, green energy issues, anti-police issues, anti military issues, and others that most of the people in this country don't agree with have being forced through is just slapping most of those democrats in the face. And for the last 3 years, they have obstructed Trump at every turn, the corona virus shutdown is a very transparent attempt to hurt the economy to give Biden a chance in November. The problem is that it is hurting voters, their individual economy is more important to them than whether Biden gets to be president in Nov. Democrats realize that the DNC and their favorite democrat candidates don't really care if they have a job or lose their home or business.

Um, I hate to break it to you, but Trump supporters might be jumping ship if Trump doesn't get his act together...

@KevinOfTheHill Wow! You just gave yourself away. You aren’t a democrat, you are a troll for Small Hands Von Bunker Bitch.

kevinofthehill that is between you and your convictions but there as again what is the other option the other end of the spectrum the republicans lead by a right wing nutcase makes your decision difficult but it is yours and yours alone as i say between you and your convictions

In what way is "the left" "out of control"?
Are you leaving because the Democrats are too radical, or not radical enough?
KevinOfTheHill · 26-30, M
@LeopoldBloom TOO radical.
@KevinOfTheHill Both parties have moved to the extremes, but the Republicans have moved further than the Democrats.

Seriously, you think Joe Biden is a radical?

This will all be sorted out by the convention, if there is one.
Remember, there is no nominee yet.
