Letter: An open letter to my leftist friends

To the editor:

Open letter to my leftist friends,

As you demand unity and you tell us what books, movies and news sources we can still look at, can you address just a few of our questions please?

Can you name a Democrat-controlled city that isn’t on the brink of insolvency?

Can you name a single Democrat-controlled state that has a balanced budget?

Can you show us a single Democrat state that has more people moving in than out?

Can you show us a Democrat-controlled city whose homicide rate isn’t climbing?

Can you show us a Democrat-controlled city where gun control worked?

Can you show us a single Democrat-controlled city with an exemplary public school system?

Can you name a Democrat-controlled city that isn’t at war with its police department?

Can you explain how San Francisco is going to survive once all the businesses move out?

These are all legitimate and serious questions that deserve answers if you are going to demand we all cave and fall in line to your radical new dictates. We’d all love to hear your response.
