My point is Johnson and Garcia worked together to squelch all manner of progressive nonsense. In no possible way did I argue against myself.

The yield is Dallas has mostly bucked the sharp increases in violent crime and general disorder noted across most big US cities over the last few years.


Creuzot has been, in writing and action, for minimizing cash bail, expunging most criminal records, minimizing shoplifting sentences (and for a while he floated making some shoplifting penalty free - theft of personal items less than $750 won't be prosecuted) and many more.
Well stated and agreed.

No, they wanted Eric Johnson to be their mayor.

Don't like it? Move to New York.

You argued against the initial post I responded too that claimed progressive polices were in place. And we arent doing the circular argument where you pretend not to understand this.

Yes, moderate is a term that has no real meaning, no one actually campaigns on being one because you cant.

I agree with this 100%!!

I am a solid Center-Right, and I see myself as more of a Truman/Kennedy Democrat than a Reagan/Bush Republican. With that said, I have no party loyalty whatsoever. Yes, it might be selfish, but I vote for policies that benefit me and my family like a strong national defense, a strong economy and strong law & order. Whoever can deliver that, has my vote.

Supporting law enforcement and fiscal responsibility used to be baseline positions for everyone in politics. Not so for today’s Democrat Party.

Welcome to the party of sanity, Mr. Johnson.

You don't get to decide how I answer questions. I gave some examples how Johnson fought off progressive efforts. The end.
