The independents are typically the difference makers. People vote with their wallets which have been getting thinner since the day Biden took office. That is just one of the many reasons Biden's approval is in the toilet at 33%.

The Dems have been hell-bent on getting their socialist agenda through regardless of what the public wants and regardless of the consequences. I believe that they thought they would keep the support that got the demented one into office no matter what he did, but the Dems are being proven wrong.

Voters aren't going to forget every catastrophe that's happened under Biden, from Afghanistan to the southern border crisis to inflation and the supply chain debacle. All in ONE year. It's almost hard to believe that Biden could manage to screw up so many things, no .... everything, in such a short period of time.

The radical liberals bullied their way into power in the Democrat party, but by now the Indy's and moderate Dems have seen what radical liberalism is all about, and the rest of the Dems don't like it at all.

I knew this would happen, and that most of the Democrat party were NOT anti-American.

Obama warned the radicals that they need to go slow, & hide their true agenda, but they were too power thirsty to listen.

November seems like a long way off, so let's hope & pray that this swing in momentum continues.

Signed, a former Democrat.

Both parties are pretty useless but the Dems have gone completely bat**** crazy the last few years. I will never call myself a republican that thought sickens me but Independent and voting Republican out of no choice until sanity returns to the Dems(i hope).

A new article from Breitbart accentuates the OP quite nicely:


Quote:

Anyone familiar with history knows that the last time this happened was in 1968. Then, after years and years of social unrest and the coddling of violent criminals and urban decay, the GOP won five of the next six presidential elections, and Democrats were only able to retake the White House because Bill Clinton ran as a New Democrat who would be tough on crime and govern as a moderate.


In other words, there was a major political realignment in 1968, and most especially in 1972 (where Nixon won by a historic landslide), and I think we are seeing the makings of the same again in 2022.


We’re seeing it in the polling and in election results. The GOP now controls Virginia, which had been a Democrat-run state for a decade. The GOP almost won the governor’s race in New Jersey, one of the safest blue states in the country.


The media can no longer protect Democrats. The media’s credibility is shot, and New Media is just too powerful at getting the truth out there. And now the public knows it is Democrat policies and ideas spreading failure, poverty, censorship, and death.


I can’t wait for 2022.

Both parties are awful and killing the country. Democrats are just killing it much quicker.

You nailed it! I'm a big football fan so I'll use a sporting analogy that pertains to the current Democratic situation. Most good coaches make adjustments at halftime so they can come out and excel in the second half of the game.


Seemingly the Democrats REFUSE to make the necessary adjustments needed to infuse cohesion into their Party. If given a poll, how many Americans are true leftists? I'm not talking about moderate liberals but leftists. How many? Maybe 25% at the maximum, if that? Yet the Democrats morph their entire party to placate this segment. They have sold out to the zanies.


As a Republican/Libertarian, I don't mind when the left loses ground. But if I were moderate liberal, I'd be upset! Again, no halftime adjustments coming from the left. They are a stubborn bunch who refuse to take off the blinders.


Why they act like this is material for a different discussion but I have my reasoning as to why it's happening. But Dems, you can only put your hand on the hot stove element for so long before you smell burning flesh. Time to adjust or you are simply handing power back to the right.

Today's Democrats are not 1980's and 1990's Democrats.

Signed, a former Democrat.
And the Republicans are not the 1980s and 1990's Republicans.

Signed, a former Republican

It's the party drifting too far left or the party of Donald Trump's whims.

Left the Democratic Party after the Kavanaugh nomination. Couldn’t stomach being a Republican so I registered as Independent. I had been a registered democrat for nearly 4 decades. Was probably what you’d call a “Yellow Dog Democrat.” But no more, not this party.

It feels nice to read the comments from other kindred people. We’re not alone.

Yes, the R party has shifted left along with the D party, they shift together.
