Meanwhile you idiots can't pass a bill because of fractious factionalism.
Maybe you should shut the fuck up.

Call it what you want, but you just said you vote progressive democrat. Why don't you consider yourself one of them?

I don’t consider myself a member of any party, I vote people, not party. I vote Democrats, Republicans, Libertarian, Independent and Green. It depends on which candidate at the time I feel will best represent the people.

So you say.

At least you claimed you voted based your "feelings".

I'm the same way, and have been most of my life.

Some party-firsters on the board doubt this is possible because they're so entrenched w/ their own party. It's hard for them to imagine thinking more independently.

Trump will define the GOP for years.

I'm sure you think that's good. It isn't.

Both parties have their issues.

Trump and his bombast will be gone someday.

Left behind will be his movement. Trump has made the GOP a bigger tent and it could easily accommodate disaffected Democrats—even those that would be on board now, except for Trump’s personality.

Meanwhile, Democrats show no sign of abandoning their leftward lurch and they don’t seem to care that they are abandoning moderate Democrats.

Many of them former Obama voters.

I think you're overplaying what the "movement" is.

Mostly, it's borders, and then devolves into a cult of personality. The "bombast" is what carries half of your "movement."

All the "movement" really is made up of is people who are fed up w/ the media and the left, and love having someone who ticks both off.

They supported him for jobs and healthcare, instead he gave tax cuts to the rich, which they did not support. Millenials are the wave of the future, it’s what they support that will matter.

Populism doesn't last. Not with the instituionalist Partys in charge.
And I doubt there will be another "America First".. but you never know- again the globalists are yugely powerful.

If we can get a realignment of trade, and kick America into high gear, as well as getting the darn wall built..
Trump will be wildly successful -and hand off a dynamic sovereign USA to the next generation ( who will fuck it up)

And their disdain for both won’t evaporate when Trump leaves.

There’s also a political dynamic that shows no sign of abating. As Democrats veer more to the left they double down on identity politics. And a predictable consequence of that is it causes whites to behave like a minority bloc. The problem for Democrats there is that whites comprise a clear majority of voters.

That happened in 2016. Van Jones recognized the phenomenon and called it ‘white lash’ or something. And there’s every reason to think it will happen again in 2020.

All of which begs the question of why don’t Democrats moderate?

Did you just criticize identity politics while invoking identity politics?

#walkaway is the #3 trending hashtag on Twitter and it’s about Democrats walking away from their party. It’s not about Trump so much [no, not everything is about Trump lol] but reflects discontent with the radical direction the party has taken.

Here is a sample:

I grew up in California. I decided to #WalkAway A few weeks ago while discussing immigration with a friend and was called a Nazi sympathizer for stating facts. I'm hispanic and my parents immigrated to the US from Mexico. How did this happen?

I did my own #walkaway this year. Voted D all my life since I was 18. I'm 42 now and just voted straight R ticket in the CA primary. Never felt better.

I'm loving the #WalkAway movement! It's refreshing to see Americans who realize their country is being destroyed by the radical left and wake up to the truth.
