The Dems cannot allow the radical left to bring own the whole house. I was skimming some polls about BLM, and only 33% strongly agree with the BLM movement. If one can equate "strongly agree" with willing to vote in support, then they only make up ~1/3rd of the voting Dem party.

They had their chance. There were several really good centered candidates that they basically **** on. Had they chosen them, it would be the first time since the 90's where I might consider voting Dem. There isn't a chance in hell now.

This would be the absolute best outcome of the mess we call 2020.

If there are any moderate democrats left, extremists have taken over your party and told you to hush and do what you are told.

Think the right things.
Say the right things.
Do the right things.
Believe the right things.

Otherwise, you are just a right-wing supremacist.

That's your choice.

If Portland is the only city rioting and protesting day after day, night after night, it's a local political problem, not a nationwide Democrat one.

I quite doubt it. You don't know how many are registered to vote or if they are if they registered Democrat.

It's a spineless leftist politician who condones the destruction problem. And if they are targeting federal property, it IS a national problem.

No, I don't know who they are. But wouldn't be surprised they're just teens looking to thrill themselves and get on the news by causing trouble. They probably can't name either one of their senators. Some of them have been getting arrested by city police. So it's, no doubt, false if anybody wrongly thinks all of them are getting by with it.

No doubt many Trump supporters hope rioting in Democrat led cities gets worse to improve chances that Trump will win in November.

Yep, totally.

The MAGA crowd doesn't even need to turn up to vote - go ahead and stay home, put your feet up.
