Nah, I voted for Clinton in '92. I've admitted so before. I was a young, dumb college student.
And 1992 was the last election I ever pulled the lever for any Democrat. I voted (R) straight down the ballot in 1994 and have done so ever since.
What turned you away from the Democrats? Was it a particular thing?
The assault weapons ban primarily drove me to the GOP in 1994 and the growing realization that straight white men were to be the designated villains to the Democrats kept me in the GOP camp. This was already evident by the mid 90s and has only grown stronger since.
Got it. People change their minds so rarely when it comes to politics that it’s interesting to hear what actually does change a mind.
She had a heck of a rant about being “done with the left” over their fight to accept child predators.
He’s smart, but he’s also a repeat-offender liar. He knows better.
I think Cenk Uygur knew it was over long before that. He ran against Biden, even being aware that he was ineligible.
Thanks lepton...
I have been watching the young Turks off and on since this
They obviously have a severe case a severe case of TDS but they call a spade a spade
- They agree Biden obviously has dementia and even said that in 2020
- rightly pointed out that Trump got NATO members to pay up and Biden can’t claim he did too because that was only after Russia invaded Ukraine so you can’t compare the two
- rightly points out you can’t trust the Main Stream media
- rightly says Trump was talking about the economy when he said there will be a “bloodbath” and the media is being misleading
-says that 60 mins screwed up by editing the recent Kamala Harris interview and says that Kamala only can give word salad answers
- doesn’t understand why Kamala suddenly loves the Cheney’s
- agrees nobody knows what Kamala stands for because she’s always changing her position
- can’t believe she said she wouldn’t do anything Different than Biden when she’s trying to be the candidate of change
They are starting to panic because Kamala is falling in the polls and think it’s because she’s trying to move to the center such has sucking up to big business and donors instead of running on populist positions
Yes! I don’t watch them regularly, but did catch a new headline regarding Ana Kasparian. Maybe here on FR? I’ll have to search, but here’s the article from FoxNews:
(quote) “The Young Turks” co-host Ana Kasparian explained what drove her to ditch the Democratic Party while on Jillian Michaels’ “Keeping It Real” podcast on Monday.
The progressive media host described feeling “politically homeless” over the past few years, as she started seeing an intolerance to debate and the free exchange of ideas as well as an embrace of soft-on-crime policies by the left that she believed were detrimental to society.
She ripped efforts to “demonize and even dehumanize the other side” while admitting she used to be a person who believed you could not be friends with conservatives or someone who supported former President Trump. Both women said they identified with disaffected Democrats who now feel unwelcome in their former party. (end quote)
