#WalkAway Campaign Urges Fed-Up Democrats to Leave the Party

A new grassroots movement is urging Democrats who are fed up with the ugly direction the party has taken in recent years -- especially since President Trump was elected -- to "walk away." The #WalkAway campaign is "dedicated to sharing the stories of people who can no longer accept the current ideology of liberalism and what the Democratic Party has become," the group's Facebook page states.

Some left long ago. Many of us have recently been “red-pilled”. Some here have wanted to leave for some time, but have feared the consequences they might suffer from friends or family if they walk away. This group is here to encourage and support those on the left to walk away from the divisive tenets by allowing people to share their stories, or watch the video testimonies and read the posts of others who have walked away.

Brandon Straka aka "The Unsilent Minority" kicked off the campaign with a video on May 26.

"It is my sincere hope that you will join me in this campaign and that we may start a movement in this country -- which not only encourages others to walk away from the divisive left, but also takes back the narrative from the liberal media about what it means to be a conservative in America," Straka says in the video.

It is up to all of us to make our voices heard and reclaim the truth. The Democratic Party has taken for granted that it owns racial, sexual, and religious minorities in America. It has encouraged groupthink, hypocrisy, division, stereotyping, resentment, and the acceptance of victimhood mentality. And all the while, they have discouraged minorities from having independent thought, open dialogue, measured and informed opinion, and a motivation to succeed. "For years now, I have watched as the left has devolved into intolerant, inflexible, illogical, hateful, misguided, ill-informed, un-American, hypocritical, menacing, callous, ignorant, narrow-minded, and at times blatantly fascistic behavior and rhetoric," Straka says in the video below.

He has a video on facebook and says he is starting gofundme for donations.

Also a monthly donation to help with lawyers and expenses to get this movement going as he is covering everything himself. Donations here:

I have created a Patreon account for this very purpose. Please give it a look and make a monthly donation if you are able to. Even $5 a month helps so much if enough people can contribute!

I am a workhorse, I am ambitious, and I WILL NOT let this movement fail.

But I need your help....

It’s gonna get worse. Trump will make sure of it! He’s already branding Nutty Nancy and Mad Maxine as the face of the democrat party and now this looney left-of-Bernie chick is going to become their policy visionary.

The Dems won’t be able to shut them down hard enough before a lot of moderates leave the shite-show.

I believe many of them already helped push DJT over the top.

#WalkAway is very real

The global socialists are going too far and driving supporters out.

We need to welcome them and understand them. They may not totally embrace individual liberty and constitutional order yet, but our job is to educate them in a polite, patient manner.

My beloved parents were among the early participants in the #walkaway campaign back in the 60’s. Around the same time Pres Reagan joined up. And for the same reason. They didn’t leave the party the party left them.

Reagan left them for a different reason.

Reagan was an eye-opener for me, especially after the Carter disaster. Then along came Bill Clinton, and that was the end for me. #Walkaway long ago.

They are gonna be kinda like Neo in The Matrix. Wont even know how to use to use their critical thinking skills without the brainwashing directing them. Time to wake up. It is 1984 and you have always been at war with climate change.

I believe that the Korean Summit changed a lot of minds about President DJT.

Good idea. I’d do one, but it would be too costly for me.

The Midterm Election is a simple choice, Communism or The Constitution.

Make your choice Democrats.
