> Cities like SF, Seattle, and Portland deserve the horrible socialist leaders they elect.

The way you throw the term "socialist" around, I doubt very seriously whether you really know the definition of "socialism".

> Playing catch and release with criminals

Then don't complain about the taxes needed to keep them incarcerated, tax revenue which comes out of your pocket.

> and "defunding the police" is part of their social justice utopia.

Already a passe term and concept, get with the times.

> The sad thing is, I don't see the public waking up and electing more centrist leaders.

The reson for this is that to you, "centrist" = "leftist".
