San Fransicko is so far gone it will take decades of sane lawmakers to undo even some of the damage that’s been done. To the local denizens, even moderate politicians will seem “far Right” and they will likely recoil in horror.

A moderate politician is like having just a crumb of fecal matter in your dinner.

Moderates don’t fix things. They moderate the decline. Morons.

It’s all fun and games until the human excrement reaches YOUR door step.

Funny how being personally impacted will finally motivate people.

They should pour their money it to stopping the election fraud.

What good does it do to get the people to vote for a better candidate when the election results are being determined by those counting the votes.

Apparently the tycoons believe that Biden won in 2020.

Less Progressive is still Progressive. These people better wake up to what they’re getting behind. These candidates that aren’t quite as wicked as the last ones aren’t going to be an asset to them. They need the spirit of Jesus Christ to lead their walk

On their best day moderates will treat symptoms while the disease progresses often making an even worse outcome.
