re: #70 BlueGrl21

I’m a Texas Dem. There is no other way to function and stay sane.

But I think the idea of a mystical pony Democrat that is pro-life but is with us on other issues is just not how things work today. Voting pro-life is a set of faith values. Which is why the party is changing the platform….so that candidates can adapt to the faith values of their constituents.

Again, I’m not in favor of ideological purity tests. We see hybrids like anti gun-control Democrats. But i just don’t see it when it comes to abortion rights.

As a Dem operating in the AL-FL area, my first thought ran to the critical influence of the African American churches. We can’t afford to lose them, and their battle for racial justice cannot afford to lose middle class White women. It’s fun to be a Dem.
