Every Which Way to WIN BIG in Virginia https://demcastusa.com/2023/08/18/every-which-way-to-win-big-in-virginia/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

As AP reports, 63% of Republicans want Trump to run again. And 74% of Republicans say they'll vote for him. The percentage wanting him to run in April was 55%

But 53% of Americans say they would not support him if he is the nominee. And another 11% say they would probably not support him in November 2024.

A common media meme says Republicans have a problem. More accurate: Republicans ARE a problem.

my years of having a Buy Local ethos are being severely challenged by SF local business owners being awful about everything imaginable - harassing the homeless, blocking new housing, blocking bike and bus lanes because they have no respect for potential customers who don't drive, trying to steal public space for themselves and harassing any residents who stand in their way, etc. etc.

I'd almost rather bring in the chain stores, who would probably attempt some very unsavory backroom dealings but would likely not spend so much time publicly demanding the entire city infrastructure grind to a halt out of respect for the sacred Local Merchants Association
