I am no longer a Democrat. Democrats have lost me

[SouthoftheAndes]

• The party can go to hell.

To have even considered Keith Ellison and to have him as a #2 at DNC and to be moving in that direction is just sickening. I believe Ellison ties to black supremacist and antisemitic people should of wrote him off immediately.

I am an economic liberal and have a lot of similar views to Bill Maher but I feel people like me and him are being pushed out of the party by the far left and the corporate shills.


CNN has become unbearable and the Huffington post is starting to represent an increasing amount of Democrats absurd views and that of the youth.

This Fake news Russian witch hunt thing is the final straw. The party is moving to absurdity and is becoming increasingly Anti-Israel and anti-Western world, anti- Judeo-Christian values and embracing the absurd.

I am not a Republican cause I find their economic views to be stupid and reckless. I am against mass deregulation and half their ideas. However, I am with Trump on his foreign policy and I am in favor of economic nationalism and civic nationalism for the USA. We need to properly vet immigrants, stop open borders and stop attacking our police forces.

Fake news Russian witch hunt? What if some real evidence comes to light? Are you back to being a Democrat?

 

[klnOmega]

Same here. I was a Democrat for years. The whole social justice warrior thing ended driving me away. And their stances on things like gun control and immigration just became way too fucking radical.

It's called being an independent like over half of all Americans. Welcome to the club!

 

[SouthoftheAndes]

I will vote for candidates I like regardless of party.

In any case so many Democrats and people in general are just partisan and nasty.


I am sure any second now people will come in and tell me "good riddance" and "you were never a real Democrat".

Well that is fine but that behavior will push sane people like me away.

 

[TheStruggle]

I bailed on the Democrats over a year ago, good to see people are coming to their senses

I gave up on them around 2011 I believe.

 

[ObsoleteSoul]

Parties suck. No use in joining either side, since they are both crazy.

Welcome to the "choose your own adventure" life.

Well, bye.

Yeah I can't ever call myself a Republican either.

At least as long as they are promoting climate change denial, theocracy, cutting wages, and mass deregulation and tax cuts.

Republicans lose me on pretty much every economic or policy decision. Their hatred of better health care that everyone can afford, their protecting of big Pharma, their worship of Oil companies, their frequent opposition to workers rights and unions. And yeah I can't stand Paul Ryan. Of course many Democrats are big Pharma and Oil company and bank shills.

But yeah Dems are going the way of the Huffington post. All trying to out do one another with 'oppression' and diversity, and stuff.

Establishment Democrats are the worst. They're still looking to the leadership of people like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to steer the ship going forward. Democrats have been hemorrhaging voters for years now because of stupid people like them.

Republicans are almost all terrible. What's even worse is that the Democratic Party is supposed to be the answer to that but they are now basically Republican light.

It's sickening and they can't even see how many people they turnoff to the democratic process. Or just getting involved in politics in general.

 

[n...not crazy]

You sound like a white supremacist.

(get used to hearing this...)

 

[lecter]

Democrats are pathetic. Good decision. You don't need to go full right-wing or Republican.
There are a lot of liberal and conservative ideologies and literature outside of the center of either party.
Your political views don't have to be defined by a party or a vote casted all 4 years.

 

[WiolentOne]

I voted for Obama twice. For anyone who doubts me, the old sherdog servers and the WR vets are my testament to me being a former Democrat and liberal.

Not anymore.

I honestly can't see myself supporting the Democratic party any time soon given their current players and agenda.

I have yet to see a single shred of evidence.

Also, why focus on the leaks rather than the corruption that was exposed?

 

[Jim Bob]

Dems select ticket for 2020. A match made in Transylvania!

I'm focusing on the fact that Trump and his minions worked with Russia on this, not stupid shit like pizzagate.
