Thank you for pointing this out. The DA seems to have not learned the lesson after they followed advice from American advisors and threw a white nursery school teacher under the bus in a manufactured racism row to try and gain black votes. It backfired spectacularly, with the DA bleeding votes and leading them to paradoxically fire their very own 'clever black' leader and replacing him with a 'toxic white male'.
I do not think the DA was ever conservative... Conservatively minded people may have voted DA, but that does not make them conservative - for the longest time I believed we needed a unified opposition. But their views on abortion, lockdowns (they are not against lockdowns or mandatory vaccination any more than the ANC, they just want the power to make that call), and now this shows one just how liberal, leftist actually, they are. Their election losses over the past 3 election cycles (local and national) shows this too... The conservative voter has moved their vote to another party. And at the end of the day, it really isn't about what they believe to the right, it is about what will grow their voter base. But you can't get a woke vote and hold on to your conservative vote.
curious thing about the "pronoun" use
why would you not use your name..rather than some chosen label to be spoken to/about
ie debbie said
rather than xe xi whatsit said
makes a mockery of it really
and we just had out of towners and the howling snowflakes force the local council to fly their stupid rainbow flag
funny they failed to ASK the populace to vote on this, extra ordinary council meet and rolled over to a VERY few loudmouths
Just for interest, what is the source of the vaccine hesitant by educational status curve?
