Wait a second, a Millennial cannot have voted 16 years. You are one of those Xennials like my oldest cousin and my brother. They are those born 1977-83 though I know 1984 ers who also fit that cohort. They bridge Gen-X and Millennials because of specific experiences that are different from the two cohorts that isn't in both.

Anywho, I can side with the sentiment. I voted Republican in my first two presidential elections for McCain and for Romney but as time has gone on, I have gotten turned off the by how far right the Republican Party has gone since W. Bush left office. At this point, unless Republicans get back to moderate, I'll vote Democrat like I did since 2014 locally and 2016 nationally (due to McCain's age, not his policy.)

Well said. There are many who share your thoughts and feelings.

The left is out of their minds and it's on full display for anyone to see.


I encourage everyone to take the red pill.

No one made that claim. There is also a movement called #walkaway... people are leaving the Democratic party. Here's 2 post

"It's not a debate" is part of the reason why I did #walkaway. Adversity to free speech, ideas, Closing of conversations with ad hominem attacks like nazi, etc. Easy way to not have to do nuance or defend your view. Hang in there. There are a lot of us."

"#WalkAway my friend!!! I did earlier this year. The democrats are truly undemocratic..."

More post.... https://twitter.com/hashtag/walkaway?lang=en

Yep. When you cannot win an argument, insult their intelligence.

I did until I saw Cruz being an idiot during the whole 2013 shutdown and Trump policy. No thank you. I think the "red pill" is really the blue pill in disguise.

You would be surprised with the number of white people filled with self-loathing. Though when you look at the ones that are the most vocal supporters of progressivism, that's not so hard to understand.

The "red pill" is helping a lot of kids with college debt to get jobs. If the Trump administration comes up with a good plan to help alleviate college debt Democrats can kiss their party goodbye.

We went to a dinner where we were seated with what turned out to be liberals. They were really condescending toward the poor and blacks as if it weren't for them the poor and blacks could not figure out how to use a fork. They worked hard trying to impress everyone. The next evening we were supposed to sit with them again but made alternative plans. We didn't want to sit through another even of liberals breaking their arms to pat themselves on the back while they belittled people.

Well yes, but one party politics never work. Eventually a party adopting left policy will pop back up. It happened with the Whigs replacing the Federalists in the 1830's and the Republican party replacing the Whigs. One party rule will not last and you might regret calling for the end of the Democrat Party.
