Growing Movement of Democrats Leaving the Party

[WheelieAddict]

lmao good luck with your "grassroots" movement

LOL

I just got through watching a testimonial from an obvious Democrat anti-war kook on there.

Keep running from reality.

The page hasn't stopped getting updated with members and testimonials since Brandon Straka made it.


You better hope they don't start their own rallies. You won't be able to say they are too white or too old.

"i'm sick of the left, so even though far right trump is far right I'm going to switch to far right!"

lol morons

Trump isn't far right, idiot.

He has most of the same positions that Bill Clinton had. The difference is that Trump isn't beholden to the far left like Clinton was.

Trump is far right and beholden to the far right republican congress. You can tell he is far right because he cut taxes and exploded the debt, the opposite of what clinton did. Republicans being fiscally responsible is a myth. W added to the debt massively too and left it to Obama to clean up. Soon enough some democrat will be stuck cleaning up trumps mess and you fucks will blame all the debt on them.

Republicans controlled the House when Clinton's economy took off.

THAT is why Republicans are considered fiscally responsible. Gingrich and the Republicans created the economy that you believe was so good.

So clinton gets no credit. Lemme guess W didn't do nuffin all that massive increase was obama.

lol so it is all barney franks fault, not W and the republican congress who inherited a surplus and then spent like mad while cutting taxes.

This same thing is happening with trump, tax cuts with increased spending and when it crashes they will shift the blame. republicans are the opposite of "fiscally responsible".

They inherited a bubble and an ok economy created by House Republicans that were solely dedicated to cutting expenses.

The bubble burst in the early 2000s and the Republicans started spending more money with a Republican president.

Yeah they cut taxes and increased spending then blamed it on obama. Same is happening now with trump and republican congress, they will blame it on someone else.

Do they love Dutarte? Kim? Putin? The growing rightwing authoritarians in Eastern Europe?

What's that got to do with hating free speech, Liberty and our Constitution? TODAY the House has a leftist inspired bill to ABOLISH ICE. Repubs are gonna force a VOTE on it and the weak kneed charlatans that sponsored it are crying foul. Because they are playing to mobs who have NO fucking idea what ICE does.

You have the assistant director of the DNC wearing a "I don't believe in borders" tee shirt to a parade. and the DIRECTOR of the DNC stating that a fluke 28 year candidate who ran on Socialist platitudes --- "IS THE FUTURE OF OUR PARTY"..

It's clear that the motives for BOTH parties for TOO long has been simply about owning the keys to the megagiant power they've created. And the Dems in particular --- haven't run on ISSUES in so long that MATTER to most Americans -- that they don't KNOW where their principals lie anymore.

It's obvious. Got nothing to do with Kim or Putin or Duarte or people eating bark in Venezuela.

I don't believe in borders is the name of the band man LOL
... BrBreaking For silly dupes... nobody wants open borders

Really Dude. NOBODY?? Are you reading this thread or just masturbating? Because in this thread you SHOULD HAVE LEARNED that some OPEN BORDER DEMS just introduced a Bill in the House to abolish ICE and the guy Below wearing the "I don't believe in borders" tee shirt RUNS THE DNC...

You're useless. Do you know who this guy is?

They are just disgusted with the way enforcement has been handled (and I agree) and are are grandstanding. Enforcement is part of the law and didn’t start with ICE and won’t end if a new acronym replaces it. I don’t see this as a big deal because by far people including Dems, support reasonable border control. The left is grandstanding and the right is jumping on board with its own dog and pony show.

You have Dems wanting to abolish ICE and Republicans kidnapping children. And you only question the Dem principles?

Wait Wait Wait. This could all be a big misunderstanding here. Maybe you're thinking that ICE is "kidnapping" children. The way things work is that CBPatrol handles the CHAOS we're calling "immigration" at the border every night and day. THEY detain about 1500 people per day. And increasingly any "kid issues" are handled by HHS.

ICE handles the larger enforcement issues -- MOSTLY in the interior. But they focus (with DEA) and other DHS agencies on drug cartels, gangs, foreign terrorists, currency and drug smuggling rings and enforcing warrants. Mostly criminal warrants.

So if you want to get rid of the "KIDNAPPERS" -- you're targeting the wrong agency. Do you want to abolish the Customs/Border Patrol and Health/Human Services as WELL??? Gotta buy and consult the program if you want to boo the players.

That's a hell of a LOT of abolishing for the next Democrat Administration to do.. Isn't it?

Let’s see...how to even begin...

Yes, I deliberately used hyperbole to make a point...however I don’t know where you got the ICE is kidnapping children. I said Republicans as in the creators of a policy that deported 19 mothers, leaving their children behind in US custody and feels it has no obligation, moral or legal, to rectify this. ICE simply enforces the law and follows the policies for enforcement. ICE is needed,however the work the do did not start with them and won’t end if a new alphabet is created in it’s place. I don’t support abolishing ICE.

Whoa... Slow that pony down. Kidnapping children? I thought the COURTS were fully in control of what happens to the children. Isn't that the whole reason that family refugee facilities NOW have to be built?

Can't discuss "kidnapping children".. One of the reasons for SEPARATION at the border is to ACTUALLY ENSURE that the kids are NOT kidnapped. Did you KNOW that?

And unfortunately it is being ABUSED. What ever happened to reasonable cause? Fortunately a judge is keeping the pressure on them. Deporting 19 mothers without their children is inconsciable. If all those mothers are traffickers I would damn well like to see the evidence. Fortunately the judge feels the same. Refusing to make an effort to reunite those is kidnapping. Endorsed and applauded by the party of family values and rights.

Please, lets see the numbers that support that claim.

Democratic party is a giant Bowel movement, the foul odor is driving them away.

 

[buckeye45_73]

Now you've slipped from naive to pathetic. They are rightwing just like ol' Stalin was left. Quit the white washing. No amount of lipstick is going to change that pig.

We've had this discussion, the right wing liked monarchs, but do not support them in a liberal democracy. the left wing started fascism with Mussolini (he was a socialist), and fascists, communists and socialists love big government, we do not. We want to make the government smaller and give states more power, but you guys don't.....so how are they even close to us?

Leftists won't admit the truth. To have socialism (and eventually communism), you need BIG GOVERNMENT. The extreme right means no government and complete anarchy. The extreme left means oligarchy and total government control. Our Republic is more to the right. Our founders knew exactly where to draw the line to ensure our rights and freedoms while keeping government in check. Government is merely a necessary evil designed to protect our inalienable rights. The left seems to believe that government can grant or take away those rights as they see fit. Wrong!!!!

The reality is that libs have already moved us more left. Our government is too big. The oppressive laws literally mean that everyone is likely to break at least one law without even knowing it. That is an old trick from past dictators to ensure that they are able to arrest anyone who opposes them. Our government is performing functions that are not constitutional. By giving new meaning to old wording, the left has convinced people that our forefathers intended for government to grow huge, take more money from the people for redistribution, create thousands of laws, tax everything possible, and disarm us. They believe government should hold the power instead of the people. The constitution is not a living document. It should be carved in stone and all politicians should abide by it or be forced to leave office, maybe even face charges.

No country has ever gone communist without violent revolution. Socialism is what stops communism. Marx wrong again and of course the GOP lies Non-Stop, super duper.

Why would you want the govt to control your life? Is life too hard?

Republican-dominated government of the last 35 years is controlling Our Lives with a huge giveaway to the rich and cuts in all benefits and services for the non rich, silly dupe. Why are we the only rich country without a living wage good vacations Healthcare Day Care paid parental leave national ID card to stop illegal immigration and work, good infrastructure cheap college and training etc etc? Duh doop....

go live in Europe if it's so good, just make sure how to avoid a knife attack

 

[buckeye45_73]

It absolutely amazes me how the right rush to disown their tyrants and revise history. Cowards.

The worst tyrants are all on the left.

The Communists are in the running... And the Nazis on the right... I would prefer to be in Nazi Germany to Russia at the same time lol. Capitalism close to socialism but not democratic or civilized.

Nazis are socialists. They are on the left.

they really need to watch this. Its the cliffs notes, but worthwhile

I knew it
he cut taxes is far right...these lefties are so predictable.
so was Obama far right because he exploded the debt?

 

[danielpalos]

I am totally against any dictatorship which is what communism is, dingbat Hater dupe. Any argument about your silly political Spectrum propaganda, for crying out loud?

Stealing from others by threat of "gubermint" to subsidize of others is a dictatorship, ya dumb fuck. Most people barter their labor and effort in one hour increments in exchange for paper notes of debt in order to eek out an existence on this prison planet...so how in the FUCK do commie fucks like yourself believe that "da gubermint" is entitled 25 to 39 percent of my sweat equity? They certainly aren't there beside the laborer doing the job but yet they have their hand out. Seems like a clever form of slavery to me.

Here is the deal, commie fuck......my labor is private property and the value of my skills doesn't have a fucking thing to do with "gubermint"....are we clear on this???

We have a Second Amendment; end our useless and alleged, wars on crime, drugs, and terror; that, you all right wingers, don't want to pay for with war time tax rates, anyway.

Too many "commas".......don't have any idea as to where you were going with your response. I am neither left or right...so don't ever try to put me into a category.... lest I bitch-slap you into next week. I have very few peers when it comes to the knowledge that I possess.Move along, little camper...you can't deal with me on any level.

end those programs first, before general welfare spending. there is no, common offense or general welfare clause.

Dude, your posts make no sense. The "hit and miss" punctuation attempts makes your posts unreadable. Are you saying that welfare should be freely given to those that want to sit on their fat asses and do nothing?

No, I am saying you are simply clueless and Causeless. My statements make sense. Only those who Only have fallacy, complain about it. A lack of a valid argument, does that.

 

[danielpalos]

Some are starting to look around the Dem party and realizing that they are total hypocrites. The left has shown just how hateful and intolerant they are, all the while pointing their fingers at others. They've done nothing for minorities. They've kept them down by making it nearly impossible for them leave the liberal plantation. The left preaches one thing and does another.

They hate freedom of speech. They hate liberty. They hate our rights. They hate America.

They love communist countries and evil dictators. They bash Trump and all Republicans yet sang the praises of Castro and his ilk for decades. They used to praise Russia.

Now they are completely unglued because their plan to destroy America and replace it with an Oligarchy has been derailed. And they will continue to demonstrate pure hatred for Trump and all who voted for him. The "deplorables" stopped them. Now, the violence and propaganda have increased because they are desperate to regain some power so they can get their evil agenda back on track. I am hoping that more people have awakened to see what the Dem party has really become. Most don't hide their true vision anymore. Hillary was open about One World Government. For years, liberals rolled their eyes when this was bought up. The liberals also denied that they wanted socialism or communism for years and bashed anyone who suggested otherwise. Now, we know. The "conspiracy theorists" were right all along.

Some Dems are starting to feel betrayed by the party because they can see that it stands for everything they hate.

Great video at bottom explaining the reasons for the growing movement.


"Manipulating Fear

Straka, who grew up in a small town in Nebraska, was on board with the fear and loathing campaign around Trump until he began asking people back home why they had voted for him. To his astonishment, they told him about Obama-era regulations that had crippled their small businesses.

He started to research media canards like the one about Trump supposedly mocking a disabled reporter. When he found that it was a total distortion, he kept going, his anger rising.

He eventually became “completely ‘red-pilled.'” And isolated. He told himself that he would have to give up his lifelong dream of becoming an actor if he hit the “publish” button on his video, but, encouraged by one conservative gay friend, he decided to go ahead.

“This was a matter of the media specifically using and manipulating people’s deepest fears, based on legitimate traumas,” he explained.

“Many gay people have experienced very serious homophobia and even physical violence. Can you imagine manipulating a domestic violence survivor’s fears just for political purposes? It’s insane.

“I was afraid of losing all my friends. As I began posting about these things on social media, people started attacking me and unfriending me.

“But I thought, ‘You know what, this is too important.’ Maybe it’s the fact that I’m a gay man and I’ve already been through this—people making up lies about what it means to be gay and trying to shame me. I was like, ‘I’m not doing it. I’m not doing this twice.’

“The more resentment I received, the stronger I got. Finally, I thought, ‘To hell with it. I’m just going to blow the lid off this whole thing and make this video.’”

------

“I reject a system which allows an ambitious, misinformed and dogmatic mob to suppress free speech, create false narratives, and apathetically steamroll over the truth.”

And then this devastating line—the Rosa Parks moment of the video:

“I reject hate.”

If Democratic strategists were still able to watch the rest of the video without suffering a nervous breakdown, they’d see that it quickly got worse.

“These are the reasons why I became a liberal. And these are the same reasons why I am now walking away.”

Tidal Wave

Meet Brandon Straka, the unlikely liberator and new face of the “silent minority” of Americans who’ve been cast out by family and friends, fired from jobs, and forced into silent social ghettos for their failure to “get it” about how hateful and dangerous Donald Trump is, and why he and all his supporters should be subjected to an ever-expanding social and professional fatwah.

Since Straka published his confessional video on May 26, his life as a New York City hairdresser and aspiring actor has been overtaken by a tidal wave.
