Registered Democrats Are Sick of the Radical Left—And Some Are Switching Sides

After living half of his life as a registered Democrat, Justin Roth, 42, re-registered in 2016 as an Independent — and then switched sides entirely to become a Republican in 2020.

“The reason I registered as a Republican has more to do with the Democrats than it does with Republicans,” said Roth, a single Staten Islander who teaches English as a second language. “I still consider myself liberal in a lot of ways, but I’m no longer a registered Democrat. They’ve just really gone off the rails for the past several years.”

Only some? Many are slow on the uptake.

Define “some.”

A dozen?
A score?
A gross?
Four score?

How many have to switch (it ain’t that many - they’re farkin nuts) to overcome the vote fraud? For every Rat that changes his vote, two fraud votes will take his place.

Define “some.”

"Some" is the number of people it takes to do some things.

Yup - the Bolsheviks swung too far to the radical and the Mensheviks took control. Then the Bolsheviks shot them.

If it is a close election, having some thoughtful democrats pull the R lever because they see what joke Biden & Harris are. You don't have to like them, but they are seeing that Joe & Kamella are crazy. Be thankful for a win!

I wouldn’t bet the house on it. They got us into this crap and very rarely do RATS change their colors.

I understand your feelings. But if these switchers are voting R instead of D, that’s a great thing. It’s 2 for 1 vote wise.

Some will continue to move right and that’s a better thing.
