I've been told by acquaintances and even friends that it's morally wrong for me to accept an inheritance from my parents or to leave anything to my future children because my mixed-race wife is not sufficiently a member of the oppressed du jour. I'm admonished to accept that even the mere prospect of reality-based disagreement with anybody ranking higher on the scale of intersectionality may justifiably leave me vulnerable to violent retaliation. Essentially, it has been suggested, that because I was born with white pigmentation I need to remain silent and obey lest I suffer the consequences. This is not the sort of classical liberalism I've found reasonable growing up as an older millennial, and I'm certainly not willing to forsake my individual agency in favor of an intellectually deficient mob rule that suggests discrimination on the basis of immutable characteristics is the cure for the same.
Sounds like you should stay away from the conservatives that suggested that.

Republicans suggested White Privilege - or being racist because the opinions of someone you don't agree with happens to have a different skin color - please point me to these suggestions.

The walk away movement has been going on for a long time. Democrats like myself - who vote for who they feel is the right choice for them instead of voting a party line - has been going on for a while now.

We're part of that silent majority that the Democrats depended on to get Hillary elected. I still believe in the basic principles o the Democratic party - but those principles are not applied today.

If there was ever a party that was showing it's lack of strength and integrity, it would be the GOP.
Both at the same time. Neither party represents much but their fringe.

Oh and both represent the .01%

"the party needs to either get back to the great party it once was,"


Which party was that?

Political parties change all the time.

Which "version" do you want back?

How about the one who STARTED and supported the KKK and hanging blacks, etc?

Is THAT the one you want back?

Or how about the one who DESTROYED peoples reputations? Like John Towers reputation to make him say at the end, "Where do I go to get my reputation back?"

Or the one who uses wild exaggerations, the AD accusing the repubs wanting to push granny off the cliff because they DARED to try and reign in some waste, fraud and abuse of gov't money?

Or the one who used the power of the presidency to get the IRS to go after Billy Dale and to hold applications for a tax exempt status and NOTHING was done to the person who was in charge of it.

I am STILL waiting for the dem promise I would save $2,500.00 a year on my health insurance.

I could fill pages after page of such examples, so which dem party do you want back?

"Many have already walked away. Republicans have the Presidency, House, and Senate," 33 sate govonorships, the dems have only 16.

"Justice will become the 34th Republican governor in America. Republicans control both chambers of the state Legislature in West Virginia.Republicans also hold the governorship and both state legislative chambers in Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida and New Hampshire.
Nebraska’s unicameral legislature is ostensibly nonpartisan, but is controlled by Republicans in practice."

"Democrats hold just 15 governorships and control all three levers of government in only six states: Oregon, California, Hawaii, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Delaware.
Republicans control both chambers of the state legislature in Montana, Louisiana, North Carolina, Virginia and Pennsylvania, states run by Democratic governors. Democrats hold both legislative chambers in Nevada, New Mexico, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Vermont, all states run by Republican governors.
Just five states have divided legislatures, and chambers in three of those states — Washington, New York and Alaska — are governed by bipartisan coalitions."

Republicans will completely control 26 states | TheHill

The main reason why I do NOT trust polls, everyone I see counts MORE dems the repubs.

With numbers like these, how is that even CLOSE to being accurate?
