I have voted Democrat for 30 years. I'm deeply concerned that the progressive left has ceded all rational positions, supporting ideas that defy common sense that have become impossible to support. This is what I mean: Government waste dominates, spent on useless projects while critical needs are ignored. The high speed rail project is an obvious failure. End it! Merit has been discarded -- race and sexual preference decide opportunities instead of ability. This cost people lives in the LA fires. Sterilization and genital mutilation of minors is permitted for those claiming to be in the wrong body, pushed by a profit-driven medical system. This is Cruel. Illegal immigration is not just allowed, it is funded with billions for healthcare and benefits. We are supporting millions of people who come here illegally at the expense of your voters. Extreme Islamic terrorists who want to destroy the U.S. are excused or ignored, and Democrats support their hate. Men should play in women's sports? I thought we wanted to protect women and girls? Certainly you must see how these positions lack common sense? You are going to lose people in record numbers if you maintain these positions. All Republicans need to do is take a position of common sense -- and your response is to take the opposite side, the insane side, and that's your plan? You all have lost your ways.
