      Seems the left will never live down defund the police or trans stuff or other woke nonsense. Turns out that socially enforced absurdities that everybody knows are absurd but are intimidated into not saying it, comes back to bite you in the privacy of the voting booth.

      Education is extremely important.

        BLM alone left a huge crater in the political prospects of Democrats. And it goes without saying that it did nothing at all to benefit black people.

          They will live it down...hopefully...by a return to something resembling sanity.

          But extremism isn't limited to the left. I'm probably voting Democrat in all local, county and possibly state elections this year and right wing extremism is why.

              Yup. There is always some "crisis" of the day, and depending on which side thinks they can benefit, there will be a bunch of meaningless talk and speeches.

              Then, after X period of time, we look at what they said and laugh, but the damage has already bene done.

                What sort of right wing extremism are you seeing locally?

                  Corruption with developers in the area, declaring small towns abortion sanctuary areas, trying to drag national politics into local issues, people who have been in office much too long.

                    Barney Frank, the longtime Democratic congressman and leading liberal who brought new visibility to gay rights and crafted the most significant reforms to the financial system in a generation, has died. He was 86.

                      Saw that. RIP Mr Frank.

                      He’ll live on in the name of his major bill. We still talk about Glass-Steagall and they’ve both been dead for 80 years.
