Lefties Jumping Ship?

Jump ship for what ? You plan to join the KKK ?
There are still people called moderates. They existed before and they’ll still exist when the extremes play themselves out.

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.

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 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"?

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

Vote Republican

There are other parties besides Dem and Republican

Are you leaving because the Democrats are too radical, or not radical enough?

Better to decide on your own, with your own research and not the whack jobs on SW

Just walk away.
