White Millennials Are Leaving the Democratic Party as 'Walk Away' Campaign Picks Up Steam
https://pjmedia.com ^ | TYLER O'NEIL JULY 5, 2018

White millennials are equally divided between supporting Republicans and Democrats in this year's critical midterm elections, as a campaign urging people to "Walk Away" from the Democratic Party has picked up steam online.

Young people do not like President Donald Trump, but whites between the ages of 18 and 34 said they are equally likely to vote for a Republican as for a Democrat in the elections for Congress this November. A full 39 percent said that "if the election for U.S. Congress were held today," they would vote for the Republican in the district where they live. Another 39 percent said they would vote for the Democrat.

This represented a nine-point shift away from Democrats since 2016. That year, only 33 percent of young white voters said they would elect a Republican to Congress, while 47 percent said they would choose a Democrat.

Young white men made the greatest shift toward the GOP. In 2016, nearly half of them (48 percent) said they would vote for a Democrat, while only 36 percent said they would vote Republican. This year, 46 percent said they would choose a Republican, while only 37 percent said they would vote Democrat — a 21 percent shift in favor of the GOP.

The poll surveyed 16,000 registered voters between 18 and 34, with a 1 percent margin of error.

Pretty soon the only White people left in the Democratic party will be pro-Palestinian Jews, women who want to murder their babies, and Wall Street bankers funding the whole sorry enterprise.

#Walkaway is obviously effective because I have seen Dems both try to claim that it’s a conspiracy, and also starting their own movement encouraging Republicans to walk away.

How many in the end jump over to us, who knows? But this cannot hurt.

Whites “walking away” wins an election. Getting minorities to “walk away” is the end of the strategy leftists have used since they stopped fighting desegregation.

Point of Order....

Per President Trump (and me from long ago):

It’s the Democrat Party, not DemocratIC Party

We don’t call the Green Party the Greenic Party
nor the Communist Party, the Communistic Party
etc, etc, etc

Years and years, decades of tax tax tax, gimme gimme gimme, regulation upon regulation upon regulation, and finally they want to #walkaway? Do they now no longer want all the free stuff from the government? Are they finally now ready to leave the Christian bakers and florists alone? Are they finally ready to stop killing unborn children? Have they thought long and hard about it and finally reversed their position on free unhindered criminal immigration?

I watched the original video and understood the man to say that he is still adamantly opposed to Bible teaching on creation and sexual perversion. This is nothing to get excited about.

Hey Tyler, did you go to public school for math? 33 to 47 became 39 to 39, and that represents a 9 point shift? In what universe. Makes my head spin just thinking about it.

There’s always some good to be found....how much, out of this, who knows?

A lot of these kids are indeed still clueless about conservatism. It will be interesting to see how many moderate Democrats are left out there as their party moves left.

Let’s see. Millennials are leaving. Black and Hispanic unemployment is at record lows, and voices in those communities are starting to speak out. It’s no wonderDhimmicraps are nervous.
