Could a gay hairdresser from New York City set off a mass exodus from the Democratic Party? A hashtag and a growing wave (not a blue one) of videos on YouTube and Facebook signal that the Democrats finally have gotten too crazy for at least some of their formerly faithful supporters. Celina Farber of the Epoch Times catalogues a growing wave of revolt against Democrats’ embrace of socialism and no borders and general insanity under the rubric of #Walkaway:
Once upon a time, I was a liberal. Well, to be honest, less than a year ago, I was still a liberal. 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.

It's Democrat...Democrat party.
Actually, its official name is the Democratic Party. Those who belong are Democrats. Google it.

I hope many will walk away, but not pull the GOP left.

I wasn’t exactly outstanding in English class but I’m right aren’t I?
I defer to Windflier who knows the language. :)

Those people who voted for Donald Trump didn’t leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party totally abandoned them.FWIW, I think it's some of both. And neither's good news for the 'Rat party.

If the official name of the party is Democratic then the proper noun for members of it should be Democratics shouldn’t it? That is exactly correct. Hee hee...

The same party that aligned itself with practices of Genocide against blacks [including unborn ones during slavery... Never heard that, and it doesn't make sense to me. Why would a slaveowner not want another slave?

“They actually changed the name a decade or three ago. It’s the Democratic Party now.”
Soon to be the Democratic Socialist Party - kind of like all the “Democratic People’s Parties” of all the past commie regimes.

There’s a facebook group for #WalkAway

What’s happening is that the Dem party is now fracturing along racial lines. They are increasingly the #PeopleOfColorParty, and white democrats are starting to notice. Even white gay men are now second-class citizens in the party. And they don’t like it at all.
The downside is that, while they may switch to the Trumpening, but they will bring a lot of their Leftist viewpoints with them.
