how radical certain segments of the progressive left have become

I’ve said it here before and I’ll say it here again, if Democrats want to have any chance of recouping all of the various voting blocs they are bleeding from, they need to surgically and immediately excise the radical progressives. They are cancerous to the party and have been for well over a decade now.

No reasonable person, Republican or Democrat, supports abolishing the police or ICE, defends terror orgs like Hamas, or wants to reorganize society based on categorizing people into a hierarchy of race and sexual orientation.

Completely disagree.

The GOP faces no consequences for their extremism. Think of Jan 6, Lauren Bobert, MTG, the racist jokes at MSG right before the election, and recently Trump and JD at the Army Navy game with a "hero" who killed a homeless black man

Dems need to study and figure out why only liberals face consequences for their fringe. We can't have one side who the party at large is linked to extremists and another party where people ignore the crazy

the racist jokes at MSG

The joke about Puerto Rico made by, a comedian, that Puerto Ricans and Latinos at large didn’t give a shit about?

a “hero” who killed a homeless black man

The guy who was rightfully acquitted of murder because he subdued a raging lunatic on an NYC subway car??

That raging lunatic had a family that loves him, and people that care!

.... That only came "to help" after he died and made it into a race issue to make the headlines so they can get on the lawsuit gravy train.
