As a lifelong Democrat in Texas, I find some views on DU abhorrent. The only way out of this is for ALL of us to work together. Why should I be held responsible for Greg Abbutt when Ive worked my ass off to get him ousted. And because of gerrymandering and stupid idiot Trumpers, he stays in office.
Im glad to see Democratic mayors like my own, Ron Nirenberg of San Antonio, taking decisive action.
Im an American damn it. And that should count for something even though I live in looneyville. (Should count for ALL of us).
