I was loolking at this sub https://www.reddit.com/r/walkaway/ and I noticed the two mods with full powers.
https://www.reddit.com/user/rsashe1980/posts?sort=top https://www.reddit.com/user/conspiracythierry/posts?sort=top
Not exactly former Democrats leaving the party, but two hardened trump supporters.
According to their link in the sub it was started by Brandon Straken a failed actor. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6808229/
I have been reading that this has been started as a psyop. Can anybody share some info?

#WalkAway reaction in a nutshell
Basically, some democrats have used the hashtag, circulated a video of some guy who was saying why he was leaving the democrats etc etc
The response was to call them all bots regardless of whether or not the campaign was grassroots or not, a couple "russian linked" accounts was enough to run articles calling it a russian op
If I was one of the people walking away, this kind of doubling down and alienating of a position would just make me run
1 Thendisnear17 2018-07-11
So this guy "walked away" from the democrats and now is happy being on Fox News?
1 Rayfloyd 2018-07-11
You know people can go on the news network they wish to go to or perhaps got invited to?
Ultra leftie, from one of the most left leaning college in the country, went on fox
Must be a russian spy or something
1 lohan0 2018-07-11
That's not what Bret Weinstein says.
1 Rayfloyd 2018-07-11
I don't know what Bret says or has said on WalkAway nor do I really care, I was pointing to his appearance on fox and the fact people can go on the news network they wish to go as they see fit
And I'd be curious to see the actual source of your quote
1 lohan0 2018-07-11
So why did you bring him up exactly?
1 Rayfloyd 2018-07-11
I was pointing out people have the ability/right to go on whichever news network they desire, because of this comment:
Novel concept I know, had to repeat it a couple times now in this thread already :/
Care to provide a link? I'm a bit curious of the ending, it doesn't really sound like Brett, he's much more tactical in his words and generally has deeper meanings
I'm not sure what's wrong with Making America Great Again?
1 FauxMoGuy 2018-07-11
MAGA and drain the swamp have been nothing but dogwhistles and buzzwords since day 1. It’s like the 76ers “Trust the process” but instead of embiid simmons fultz you get corporate tax cuts, deregulation, and a bigger military budget
1 JamesColesPardon 2018-07-11
[I got you boss](Check out @BretWeinstein’s Tweet: https://twitter.com/BretWeinstein/status/1013121611136790533?s=09)
1 Rayfloyd 2018-07-11
Thanks JCP
That last sentence struck me as odd haha, perhaps he means it in a more individualistic way, I dunno, I'd like to see him expand on why going toward MAGA is all for naught
1 Kind_Of_A_Dick 2018-07-11
This seems to suggest there's a point in the past being looked at as "Great". Assuming the country isn't great now, for whatever reasons you feel like, then when exactly was it great and for what reasons?
1 hdhevejebvebb 2018-07-11
So he's still a radical left Winger. That doesn't mean anything. Hopefully he can eventually walk towards Trump and see the light
The Democrat Party is the most corrupt party of Wall Street in the history of the United States. They are the party of sexism racism xenophobia and bigotry
They are the party that will be openly welcomes domestic terrorism and bloodshed bloodshed
1 thistookmethreehours 2018-07-11
You got that almost perfectly backwards, but hey better luck next time!
1 Retroplayer74 2018-07-11
Once he is away from the brainwashing for a while, he will wise up. It could take years, though.
1 JakeElwoodDim5th 2018-07-11
That doesn't even approach being any sort of argument. He was also happy being on twitter and youtube first. Who cares where he is expressing his argument, what matters is the argument.
1 plantfood623 2018-07-11
Democrats blame everything on anything but themselves. They still can't believe they lost so they blame everything on Russia. It's pathetic, just like how they blame their lack of success on racism or whatever other bullshit excuse they can come up with.
1 Two_Morning_Poops 2018-07-11
Oh shit. This could be the most ironic thing ever read
1 TurnMeOnAndOffAgain 2018-07-11
Pretty obvious I think. If you're leaving the Democratic Party because of racists and xenophobes being publicly shamed, then I doubt you were ever a liberal to begin with.
The only ones walking away from the party are those who don't think it's acting in the best interest of the progressive cause, not because it's not conservative enough.
1 Thendisnear17 2018-07-11
Where are they "walking away to"?
1 Earth-Is-A-Prison 2018-07-11
walking away from being a democrat. I did it in 2016 and many others have done so even prior to thw walk away movement. Recently Canndace Owens and Kanye West have walked away and told others as well to stop living on the mental victim card plantation that Democrats use to keep their followers enslaved.
The walk away movement might be a psy op, or might be legit considering many organic folks have walked away from DNC
1 richard_golbes 2018-07-11
I see your dog-whistles. And lol at Candace Owens.
1 Earth-Is-A-Prison 2018-07-11
Its over for the Democrats and DNS, and LOL Hillary is running again for 2020. You guys have become a joke. The only one I still have love and respect for is Tulsi Gabbard and 3rd parties
1 hdhevejebvebb 2018-07-11
Tulsi isnt even a true democrat cuz shes willing to work with the other party
I know plenty of people who have walked away from the Democrat Party for it's blatant corruption racism sexism and xenophobia
If you can't see those things within the Democrat Party than you're still a Democrat who willfully ignores it it
1 MasterBetaMale 2018-07-11
Democrat sexism and xenophobia? What?
1 hdhevejebvebb 2018-07-11
Sexism:
definition. The hatred of one sex or the belief superiority of another sex sex
They voted for Hillary specifically because she was a woman. And hate Trump specifically because he's a man.
a university study proved this
Racism
To hate One race or support the other.
Examples of this are two Minnie's account. So I'll try to focus on a few. One. Obama one specifically because he was a black man. This isn't even debated anymore.
A few examples

http://i.imgur.com/jqEPZ1a.jpg
Xenophobia
The are so xenophobia against Russians fits preach the fever pitch
1 MasterBetaMale 2018-07-11
Jesus christ. You think people dont like Trump simply because hes a dude? That's hilarious. And would you like me to dig up a couple links to show how racist some people on your team are? Then I could pretend it applies to all of you. And I could easily do the same with xenophobia. Then I should just use those few links to apply it to every single one of your right?
1 hdhevejebvebb 2018-07-11
That's literally what the study found.
Now I know that signs denying liberals don't want to believe in it. But the study for those that didn't read it. It swapped the genders of the two candidates in a perfect reenactment of the debates. They matched everything from the tone of the voice to the hand gestures to how they said each word.
The only thing different was Trump was played by a woman and Hillary was played by a man. And the liberal audience ended up preferring the female version of trump to the male version of Hillary Hillary
1 MasterBetaMale 2018-07-11
One study about how liberals would react to a debate if the genders switched. And you take that and say literally all liberals just dont like Trump because hes male. Nice jump bro.
So did you want me to find a few links of the neo nazis in your party and then pretend your entire team is racist? Did you want me to do that or not?
1 hdhevejebvebb 2018-07-11
Well it proves what everybody was already aware of. Except for the sexist that want to deny it everybody else already knew that the only reason Hillary was famous was because she was a woman
I mean just listening to her sexist dog whistle catch phrase "with her"
And her constant gender-based attacks on Trump trump
Literally one of her own Main campaign policies was that she was running as a woman woman
1 MasterBetaMale 2018-07-11
Hillary hillary Hillary Hillary Hillary!
So did you want me to show you sexist and racist your entire party is just by showing you a few links?
1 hdhevejebvebb 2018-07-11
LMAO
You some links to some verified left left wing hoax websites and debunked claims?
1 MasterBetaMale 2018-07-11
You can literally just google the neo nazis marching at the unite the right rally. Is that a hoax big guy?
1 hdhevejebvebb 2018-07-11
What about them?
A few Democrats marching in Charlottesville doesn't really mean anything
1 MasterBetaMale 2018-07-11
Jesus christ, the denial. It's so juicy.
1 hdhevejebvebb 2018-07-11
Keep living in your denial denial
1 MasterBetaMale 2018-07-11
Cool sounds great
1 Earth-Is-A-Prison 2018-07-11
wtf? We are a United people and should be working with every side and all people regardless of our beliefs. This is why I Love Tulsi, because she has common sense enough to work with the other side instead of being an obstructionist
1 differentbydefault 2018-07-11
You can tell Tulsi is the real deal by the amount of hit pieces that pop up everytime she pops into the spotlight. I spent 20 minutes talking with her about issues and she basically lines up with me nearly 100%. She doesnt play the bs dnc game. She actually represents her constituents and probably could easily win a general election. She is attractive. Her views line up with a majority of independents and she is a veteran with a combat medic badge. Shes left where she needs to be while not selling out to identity politics.
They use her opposition to gay marriage back in the day against her while giving every establishment democrat a pass. Progressives in this country suck chowder. They dont stand on principals just whatever the actual enemy tells them to ve angry about.
Bernie ran againat the tpp and ot was a major selling point for him to actual middle class progressives.
Then trump pulled out and it became bad.
1 jhso1108 2018-07-11
I'd be on the Tulsi train!
1 hdhevejebvebb 2018-07-11

1 MasterBetaMale 2018-07-11
Your entire history is extremely conservative. Would you like to explain what used to make you a "democrat."
1 Earth-Is-A-Prison 2018-07-11
I'm a right leaning libertarian, independent as well as someone who is still researching things like Nationalist-Socialism and other forms of Politics. I want a major 3rd party which is on even keel with the other 2
Yeah, I was born and raised in a major city and this is just what you always were, and the GOP were always the bad guys. Dems were always for human rights, equality, etc. However, I watched nothing change in my city under democrats, and watched my city fail with budgeting, having to take out loans to pay the pensions, sell out their Parking meters to Saudi Arabia (selling out local infrastructure to foreign powers) and not do anything about the struggling neighborhoods and high crime rates, and this Democratically controlled city now has the highest number of people moving out in the entire country.
In fact, there is a major exodus of people moving out from Democratic Cities/States because Democrats always fuck up everything thy are in charge of:

http://thehill.com/opinion/finance/384536-the-great-exodus-out-of-americas-blue-cities
And because of the Exodus, they will have to raise Taxes on everyone who stays, and I am already living in a state with the 2nd highest real estate tax rates in the country, plus they are talking about raising them more.
Hillary was the nail in the coffin for me to leave, and now just hearing Maxine Waters talk, Diane Feinstein, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, etc just hearing them talk, and the victimization mentality of Democrats where everything is always complaining, always a victim, always negative, and now attacking GOP cabinet members at restaurants, Antifa, wanting wide open borders, and so on....its all over for them. I will never ever go back and many people are waking up to this and leaving
1 MasterBetaMale 2018-07-11
Which Democrats did you used to vote for then? And you only voted democrat because of peer pressure? You know voting is private right?
1 hdhevejebvebb 2018-07-11
This isn't fake grass roots hoax like all of the Democrat "Grassroots" actual hoaxes
I know plenty of people who have walked away from the Democrat Party for it's blatant corruption racism sexism and xenophobia
If you can't see those things within the Democrat Party than you're still a Democrat who willfully ignores it it
1 MasterBetaMale 2018-07-11
Word, so nobody believes you dude. Nobody thinks the left has gone further left than Bernie Sanders. Absolutley nobody. You clearly live in a bubble.
1 hdhevejebvebb 2018-07-11
Hahha
Actually
To translate from delusioneze:
"Leftists are in denial about how far left they are"
Nobody listens to u
Nobody thinks that the left is 'moderate"
Nobodies buying ur bs
1 MasterBetaMale 2018-07-11
So how long have you studied "delusioneze." I'm not familiar with the language. Good to have a translator around.
1 ContestModeAlt 2018-07-11
its legit hilarious that you think this will fly.
go get a patriot a coat or something lol
1 IndoctrinateMePlease 2018-07-11
This one is obvious so I wont bother to explain.
Affirmative Action along with all the other "Diversity Quotas" coupled with the left-wing media constantly attacking white people and especially white men leads me to my next point...
This one is also obvious.
1 ContestModeAlt 2018-07-11
sure
i heard someone like you on this sub saying the white nationalist trump voters in charleston were liberals too
Nobody buys this shit except for the choir in t_d. You arent convincing anyone
1 IndoctrinateMePlease 2018-07-11
These examples are true and meet the criteria of the DEFINITIONS OF THESE WORDS.
Fucking willful ignorance. It's all I have really come to associate with anyone who is still a Democrat.
1 ContestModeAlt 2018-07-11
as if that that is the point of contention. You are truly part of Trumps most beloved demographic lol
1 jhso1108 2018-07-11
This. 80% of my friends want nothing to do with the democrats anymore. The other 20% voted for Hillary.
The DNC would rather use white noise machines, kick out those who don't kneel at the alter of their chosen, gift super delegates, gag order friendly media, organize paid "grassroot" movements than just face the fact that they have lost the left.
I wouldn't be surprised for the DNC to no longer be a major political party within a decade.
1 Earth-Is-A-Prison 2018-07-11
I was only old enough really to vote for Obama, 18 at the time. But in my gut, I felt sick when I voted for him because I intuited that nothing would ever change, and I was right about it.
Later I became a truther, wheh I started doing research and found the his yearbook said he was born in Kenya, and that he was funded by Saudi Arabia and was an agent of theirs:
https://www.westernjournal.com/harvard-law-review-bio-obama-born-kenya/
https://sentinelksmo.org/saudi-billionaire-busted-for-corruption-helped-obama-get-into-harvard/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIVO8MZYXo8
that's when I was like WTF is going on? At the time I started reading about the 9/11 Israel/Saudi connections, the Ursury system, and other Conspiracies and then I realized Obama was a shill for the Saudis and possibly deep state, a Manchurian candidate.
But in my own home city, the democrats are corrupt, get busted for corruption, some are in jail for bribes, scams, kickbacks, the crime keeps going up, the taxes keep going up, everyone who is close to retiring leaves because its unaffordable, now many are pro communism, they want the borders wide open and other ridiculous policies.
WTF? No man...I was proud to be a democrat and read many books on democratic policies at the time. WTF are you talking about peer pressure?
You know I have the right to free speech and can tell you who I voted for if I want to and you cant do a single thing about it right?
1 MasterBetaMale 2018-07-11
So you only voted for Obama and you felt sick because you think he was born in Kenya. Yeah, you've never been a democrat. No need to pretend otherwise.
1 Earth-Is-A-Prison 2018-07-11
No, I voted for him and felt sick because I intuited he was a Manchurian candidiate and that nothing would change. That same year after he won I found out about him being born in Kenya and being funded by the Saudis and I wanted to fucking puke and from there on was anti-Obama
GTFO of here. There are more Democrats who become libertarians/Independents than there are Independents who become democrats.
Youre stupid for saying that, and you dont even know me. This is like me saying, you were never really a man or a real human.
Maybe go back to your victim plantation were the dems tell you how to think and how to vote. You're a brainwashed slave of that party and can't even think for yourself. Hillary will save you in 2020
1 MasterBetaMale 2018-07-11
Touchy touchy. Word pimp, have a good one.
1 TheCheshireCody 2018-07-11
Yes, many people who believe in more government oversight switch to believing that there should be a minimum of government oversight.
1 Earth-Is-A-Prison 2018-07-11
most dems are stupid, especially the ones that are born into it and dont do their homework. Once you really dig in and see that Dems were once the parts of slavery, are owned by Saudi and Israeli interest, Banksters and Lobbysists, and hear idiots like Maxine Waters, Diane Fienstein, Pelosi, and Schumer open their stupid manchurian cake holes, it all starts to make sense how this is the party owned by the globalists, corporations, banksters, and New World Order.
When you figure that out and read supporting books, documentaries, and watch appropriate videos lining this all out, its impossible to ever be for the party of victimization mentality and zero change.
I can literally never be a democrat again, because its a fake ass party that has sold out long time ago
1 ContestModeAlt 2018-07-11
I think its so hilarious that the script they follow probably specifically tells them to "Mention youre an obama voter! Court the anti establisment vote!"
The patterns in these dudes is too obvious to ignore
1 jhso1108 2018-07-11
He literally asked dude what democrats he voted for...
1 ContestModeAlt 2018-07-11
And the name thats always dropped is Obama :)
1 mikeleoncraft 2018-07-11
They're leaving the Democrat Party, because their leadership is corrupt and unhinged.
Pelosi is senile.
Schumer is a snake.
Maxine Waters is unhinged and encouraging harassment and violence againt others.
Schiff is a leaker with crazy eyes.
They rigged the primaries against Bernie Sanders, changed the rules to Sanders cannot run as a Democrat again.
This is good for the DNC. Once their party is completely destroyed in November, they will be forced to purge their corrupt leadership and adopt a more centrist position.
1 hdhevejebvebb 2018-07-11
They rigged the general election for Hillary but Trump is able to overcome it
1 mikeleoncraft 2018-07-11
The DNC rigged the primaries is a 100% fact.
The Media tried to rig the general election but failed.
1 hdhevejebvebb 2018-07-11
The media is the Democrat Party.
If you didn't realize it before Wikileaks 100% revealed that the Democrat Party 100% controls the Democrat media. There's no evidence that the GOP controls Fox News. But there's numerous evidence that the Democrat Party controls CNN MSNBC The Huffington Post the Washington Post xcetera
1 Zombieapockylips 2018-07-11
Why is this being down voted!? It's the goddamn truth!
1 zherok 2018-07-11
Because no one believes you were ever Democrats.
If as an American you're left leaning, Donald Fucking Trump does not suddenly become the best alternative to the DNC. Yet we're supposed to believe all these incredibly conservative supporting posters represent a movement of Democrats abandoning the party. You're not fooling anyone.
1 Zombieapockylips 2018-07-11
Oh fuck you and your accusations. I was a democrat my whole fucking life until this election.
This knee jerk reaction and lack of reasoning is really ugly. Donald Trump is president right now because of idiots like you. You've got to get a grip on reality. The DNC is corrupt. How many times have people had to stop down in the last few years from the upper echelons? At least 6 people that I can think of. Did you read any wikileaks? You are disgusting. The left doesn't even have a problem with war. Stop witch hunting people that used to share your fucked up values and accept that the party is corrupt. You've noticed that Perez is a pathological liar yet?
1 zherok 2018-07-11
I like how you absolve yourself of the matter. And I have to consider every possible negative angle aimed at the party that most aligns with my political leanings, but none of that skepticism for the party of Donald Trump?
How many people have tumbled out of the Trump administration because of corruption already? If you want to insist that the DNC is the bigger issue you can't ignore the blatant corruption right in front of you. I don't recall the last head of the EPA buying tactical pants for himself, and we'd be here all day if I had to list everything just Scott Pruitt did while in office, nevermind how it pervades the entire administration.
But no, it's the DNC that's the real problem.
1 Zombieapockylips 2018-07-11
The DNC IS the problem. Trump would have lost to Sanders.
It's time for you to stop obsessing with Trump and start pointing a few of those fingers at your own party. The DNC got rid of Sanders. It's a fact.
I asked about wikileaks, but maybe you never heard of that, seeing as how easily you look past so many things.
1 zherok 2018-07-11
What will ignoring what he's doing now do for us? If the platform of Bernie Sanders is important to you then how can you possibly ignore the damage that Trump represents?
That doesn't mean ignoring the problems of the DNC, but to address it as the primary problem won't help things. I'm not going to cede the country to Republicans for another term just to get back at my own party.
How about those Panama Papers? How about coming to terms with the motivations of Julian Assange, not merely giving him an automatic pass because he's done something you've liked previously? If you want to treat Wikileaks like it's a neutral source, you can't ignore the numerous times it's opted to redact or even outright rail against information that struck a nerve with a certain benefactor of theirs.
1 Zombieapockylips 2018-07-11
When was the last time you saw more than lip service from the left? Watch the DNC convention with the sound off for 5 minutes. Watch how fucked up the celebrity worship is, how cultish and hollywood it's become.
You are obsessed with Trump, when I am talking about the future. The left offers us nothing. They stand for nothing that matters, except identity politics.
1 zherok 2018-07-11
This is the sort of thing you hear from South Park Libertarians arguing political indifference so they can play smugger than thou. When you promote this attitude, and completely ignore the differences that exist, you benefit the more egregious party. And that's not the Democrats.
What, the entire political spectrum of the left has to be written off? Fuck that. When the right is represented by Trump and the GOP I'm not going to close my eyes and act like a bunch of budding proto-fascists better represent me than Hillary Clinton. I don't have to like Hillary Clinton, but that doesn't mean I'll ignore the difference between her and the alternatives before me.
1 Zombieapockylips 2018-07-11
Just go away.
1 zherok 2018-07-11
It's easy to sit on the fence arguing both sides are shit, but it's a lot harder to recognize the differences matter.
1 Zombieapockylips 2018-07-11
No. It's time to call bullshit on the corporate owned dual party system. Use your head! Why do you settle for two flavors that both taste like shit? You know Sanders was screwed. That means we no longer have a democracy. We didn't have one anyway, if you look at the left's electoral college. I think you have a simpleton's view of what is going on. What is needed are people in prison who deserve it, war mongers especially. But if you look around, no one is ever held accountable for anything. Just fuck off. Please.
1 zherok 2018-07-11
You aren't calling out the dual party system by only looking at one of them. If you want to address the problem it's not to burn down the side that most aligns with you, it's to make a third alternative an actual viable choice. We already see what the third party split does to places like Maine, where a jackass is governor despite his misalignment with the majority of voters.
You're not going to fix anything pretending the GOP doesn't exist while you have a beef with the DNC.
1 Zombieapockylips 2018-07-11
We already knew the right is corrupt. That has been obvious since Reagan. Jesus. I'm done with you. Jesus, it's like you have no criticism of the left, at all-- now why is that? I brought up at least a half dozen factual, pertinent things, and you simply ignore them. Pelosi is ancient, and her ideas are ancient. She's very rich for some reason. Doesn't that bother you? Perez is a pathological liar. The lies just pour out of his mouth. I know more about the left, because they previously "represented" me.
This conversation is boring. Trump will be gone, but the left is still hot garbage, from top to bottom, all war apologists and Israel lap dogs.
1 mikeleoncraft 2018-07-11
I am still a registered democrat. LOL
1 mikeleoncraft 2018-07-11
Only an idiot would think Hillary Clinton was the superior choice over Trump.
1 zherok 2018-07-11
Well, make your argument about how what we have now would be worse under Clinton.
Because I look at what Trump's done and I can't say yeah, well, Clinton woulda fucked it up more.
He's alienated practically all of our allies.
Gotten us into a trade war with nearly the entire world.
Validated North Korea by agreeing to meet with them for a photo op, while still exacerbating tensions by promoting the idea that they agreed to unilateral disarmament while they very vehemently said it wasn't on the table to start with.
Refused to uphold sanctions against Russia while simultaneously courting them like they're our most valuable ally on the planet. Even if you want positive relations with Russia it doesn't make his actions reasonable on this end.
His immigration policy is sloppy and cruel. There are far more thoughtful ways to address the problem, and trying to turn refugees away by making America too terrible a place to want to escape to is not a great look for us.
1 zherok 2018-07-11
Why would Sanders supporters want a more centrist position? They're progressives.
1 jhso1108 2018-07-11
I am someone who “walked away” I don’t use social media so I never got to hashtag it.
I walked away into a fuck everyone position. I will never associate with the Democratic Party again after the fuckery of 2016. I voted Jill Stein as a fuck you, no regrets.
That being said I plan on voting Trump 2020 if he continues doing what he is doing. Some things I like, others I don’t. If nothing else he has opened my eyes to how politics really can work. No excuses, just does what he says.
1 zherok 2018-07-11
You were never a Democrat in the first place and your support of Donald Trump as the alternative is a laughable farce.
You'd be hard pressed to even explain what being a Democrat meant to you before your sudden awakening that Trump totally better represents your left leaning values.
1 jhso1108 2018-07-11
Thanks, this post definitely helped me see how wrong i am.
draggedback
1 zherok 2018-07-11
Can you talk about how you were a Democrat before Donald Trump of all people showed you differently?
Otherwise what's there to drag you back from? It's easy to be a Trump supporter and merely say "I was a Democrat" but few of the #walkaways seem to be able to talk about how liberal they were prior to Trump.

Well gee, I voted for Obama. I donated a lot of money to Bernie, ummm I fucking organized and funded a Bernie rally in my college town. I have always been an equal rights proponent. My roomate of 3 years was gay, so im not virtue signaling. I am a large proponent of implementing more science and removing religion from government. I am all for LGBTQ rights. I think it has gone too far when it comes to kids. I don't think anyone should be able to undergo HRT before the age of 18. But if you are a well informed adult, you should be able to chop off your dick and attach it to your forehead and call yourself a unicorn for all I care. I am all for rational feminism. I think racists are disgusting pieces of shit. I am in every way a moderate liberal(STILL) when it comes to social issues.
The republicans still suck, but as far as I am concerned...they suck just a little bit less than the left.
1 zherok 2018-07-11
In what way?
The GOP is literally headed by a guy who hates that there aren't libel laws preventing people from making fun of him. His supreme court nominee thinks ISPs, those gigantic media behemoths who also conveniently produce a massive amount of content, should be able to dictate what content you have access to, because hey, they're people too.
I get that it's fashionable to hate Tumblr liberals and their cries for censorship of things that don't align with their views, but Tumblr doesn't represent the party.
There's plenty to criticise the DNC for but I'm not going to pretend the alternative is better with the Republicans, because its not. The fact that they allow for Trump to run amok only makes them complicit in the harm he does, they don't get a pass because of their inability to do anything about him. He's a distillation of the dog whistle politics Republican media like Fox News has no trouble producing.
1 jhso1108 2018-07-11
The candidate they hated still won their primary. lol
There's that hyperbole i suggested you avoid. That being said, I have a hot steaming turd to drop on Trump if he did some shit like that. Free Speech motherfucker.
Where do you draw the line at which it is ok to tell a privately owned business what they can and can't do regarding the service they provide? The free market will respond.
Then what represents the party? You have your most senior leaders calling for harassment of Trump officials and supporters. You have leaders obstructing at every turn regardless of principles. No, I think you are just flat out wrong here. The party is getting a little too extreme even for Tumblr.
Both fucking suck. Can we at least agree on that?

No, I was actually a very active user on this sub with a 6 year old account u/thinks_he_has_gold. Some people remember me I'm sure.
I got fed up with everything, that I deleted all of my accounts(FB, Reddit, etc...). After just browsing, i decided i couldn't stay out of the convo any longer, so I made this account.

what do you think about energy lobbyists running the EPA?
what do you think about trumps tax cut and the resulting deficit?
1 jhso1108 2018-07-11
Short term -> I make more money, so fuck yea tax cut. Long term -> I would like to see them made permanent. The resulting deficit is pennies on the dollar to what cuts corporations have benfitted from the past several decades.
And do you honestly think lobbyists weren't running every sector of government prior to Trump?
1 ContestModeAlt 2018-07-11
hello fellow democrat!
do you honestly think lobbyists weren't running every sector of government prior to Trump?
No. Know how I know? the current lobbyists running the EPA are undoing everything done before :) Turns out the energy companies dont want restrictions on things like the "environment" because it hurts profit. I don't really want the EPA to be worried about the viability of coal going forward. I'm kind of a traditionalist, I like the EPA looking out for the environment.
But yeah, you sure seem like a democrat to me lol
1 jhso1108 2018-07-11

Because I gain personal benefit from something, and am happy about it...that makes me a democrat? I don't remember being that miserable as a democrat. lmao
I'm ok with a lot of deregulation. Like I said, it's time for government to fuck off. Shouldn't you be ok with that too, since it's Trump's government? Shouldn't all lefties be libertarians for the next however many years?
Look, nothing I say is going to convince you otherwise. I know who I am, and I know that path I have taken to get here.

Because he isn't a Democrat anymore. He has been freed from the brainwashing.
Duh. Why would an ex-Dem sound like a dem?
1 ContestModeAlt 2018-07-11
hes pretending he was one. if you cant even understand the motivations and thinking of half of the country you might not be well equipped for democracy.
this guy is pretending he was a democrat and now cant give a single reason why he was one. I could give a reasonable steelman of general conservative opinions, possibly because I used to be more conservative then I am now. But I could do it.
This guy is so partisan and blinded and ideologically motivated he cant even come close to doing that.
1 Retroplayer74 2018-07-11
Yep. And Trump voters were never real. His rallies were never full. Nobody was actually going to vote for him. They are Russian bots.
Blah blah blah.
Let me ask you an honest question. Do you think going on the internet and denying reality will actually change reality? What's the point, exactly? If it isn't real, then don't worry about it. If it is real, you denying it isn't going to change anything.
1 ContestModeAlt 2018-07-11

1 zherok 2018-07-11
I don't like Clinton, but I don't hate her either. My support for Sanders didn't put me in direct opposition to everything Clinton stood for, I just don't agree with her on everything. They still put forth a more agreeable candidate than Trump would ever be.
And I'll say this as a Sanders supporter, he had an uphill climb in 2016 no matter what help the DNC provided Clinton. The system inherently favored her from the start, and Sanders being a relative unknown in the party meant starting from nothing. He did an outstanding job with it, but I can't pretend that the DNC gave the South to Clinton; she was far better known there than Sanders could ever hope to be. They also got to vote first, so despite the South being utterly useless to us in the general, they still had an outsized influence in the primary.
It's a system in need of a fix, but it doesn't put me more opposed to their choice than Trump.
That's not hyperbole. Trump has long been an advocate of libel laws that prevent people from being able to criticise him.
There is no free market for internet service. Most operate as de facto monopolies with incredible hurdles (and occasionally outright laws) that prevent competition. There's a reason why we don't just have private roads everywhere, there's a limit to how much infrastructure is practical, so centralization of key components like roads and internet connectivity are inevitable.
You cannot tell me as a proponent of free speech that you agree with being limited to internet access that only aligns with say, Comcast (or whichever of the big three happens to dominate your market, and if it's not the case, then congrats, because it was in everywhere I've ever lived in the country), finds acceptable.
There is an argument with television, because the bandwidth to provide channels is limited, but it doesn't work the same for internet access, where your bandwidth goes has no effect on Comcast's ability to provide you with unhindered access to it.
I'm sure you've seen pictures like this before, but we've already seen it come to pass, Portuguese internet access already makes winners and losers out of those the ISPs choose to do business with, and users just have to deal with it.
Nothing entitles a member of the government freedom from being criticised in person. Threats are unacceptable. Violence is unacceptable, but your actions as a member of the government doesn't mean you get a shield from your conduct being criticised.
I'm sure we could create more 1st amendment zones or keep to writing letters to individuals who'll never see them, but merely talking to them is free speech and I don't see the problem in encouraging it.
They don't EQUALLY suck, which is a very important distinction. I'm all for change within the DNC. They're far too fixated on internal bureaucratic nonsense for their own good, there's still a hierarchy of sucking that doesn't look too favorably on their opposite number.
Our elections are in a first past the post system. We can and should address the deficiencies of the party, but that doesn't mean surrendering our future to the Republicans. We can do better than that.
1 differentbydefault 2018-07-11
Didnt trump pull out of the tpp? Was that not a bernie campaign point? Half of trumps campaign was a mirror of parts of bernies.
Keep it up though. People like you will push people like us away and make us want to vote trump just to spite you people.
You probably also think all left leaning people support abolishing our 2nd amendment rights too huh
1 zherok 2018-07-11
Half of Bernie's campaign wasn't backing out of the TPP. If Trump wants to run on improving social welfare, improving minimum wage, securing socialized healthcare, and helping more Americans get into college, then sure, we can pretend half his campaign was a mirror.
Take responsibility for your own voting. If the message you got out of Sanders' campaign is your vote out of spite you learned not a goddamn thing from him.
1 differentbydefault 2018-07-11
Bernie soent his entire campaign trashing the dnc and trashing Clinton. Why would a single sanders supporter vote for her or any other corrupt establishment democrat? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/01/23/sanders-praises-trump-for-nixing-tpp-delighted-to-work-with-him-on-pro-worker-policies/

Looks like the facts dont line up with your drivel
1 zherok 2018-07-11
Christ dude, you've got me. His criticism of the Democrats totally aligns him more with Donald Trump now.
But seriously, it's one of the biggest problems of the Republican party that it demands fealty to the party even when someone like Trump wrecks it from within.
A bunch of cowards represent the GOP establishment who are too scared to risk upsetting their core base (which continues to shrink as fewer Americans choose to call themselves Republicans) by addressing the problem that is Trump.
Sanders criticism of the DNC is valid. The party should not shy from criticism and it's one of the things that aggrivates me about Clinton supporters in that they refuse to accept any failures of her or her campaign or the idea that Sanders might have a point in the failings of the DNC. But that doesn't put Trump anywhere near aligning with Sanders just because they both took issue with the TPP.
Trump is in Brussels today attempting to dismantle NATO from inside, seemingly for no gain but to promote his relationship with Putin (a country with a GDP lower than Italy.) He's spurned our relationship with our closest neighbors, our most dedicated allies, ripped up deals and offered nothing in their wake. And you want to pretend that makes Sanders more in line with Trump than Clinton? Talk about drivel...
1 differentbydefault 2018-07-11
That's what happens when the dnc pushes establishment bullshit and bullshit identity politics. Burn it down. Idgaf. Maybe next time they wont rig the primary for a coerupt establishment center right candidate. The dnc is more right than democrats are.
1 zherok 2018-07-11
And walking away does what to bring things more leftward? If you have nothing better to offer than the Democrats I'm not going to pretend the GOP is the better alternative.
1 differentbydefault 2018-07-11
Third party is such a hard concept I know
I'm not going to reward people that screwed me personally over by voting for them. Thats retarded. I will however laugh as trump wins again until the dnc learns. Ive changes my local party members and pulled more to the actual left than we have center right here any more. Ive done my part. The dnc continues to fail to see why hillary lost nd perpetuate some false russia bs narrative and dozens of otger excuses instead of fixing their shit. So fuck them.
Bern it down
1 zherok 2018-07-11
Third party in a first past the post system inherently rewards the party main party most opposite your views. You cannot fix the two party system by burning down the one closest to you, not without addressing the way we vote.
I'm not surrendering the future to the Republicans because of my problems with the Democrats. If you want to advocate for ranked voting or something that addresses the lack of nuance in two party voting I'm all for it. But understanding the consequences of a third party vote is critical in a system that will never allow for one to win.
1 differentbydefault 2018-07-11

You do know that Russia once ruled Ukraine, right and that many in Ukraine supported Russia returning to rule them? You do know that the Ukraining government was so corrupt that their President had to leave the country because he was facing an uprising, right?
And even if that wasn't true. Why would IGAF about this?
1 hellisbackinfrogtown 2018-07-11
I admit, I have never met with "why the fuck should I care about other countries being invaded?" before and I don't know how to explain world diplomacy and relation to you and why we don't want to set the precedent that it's okay for bigger countries to invade smaller countries just to take their land, and the implications that precedent might have in the long run and the historical reasons why that's a bad thing.
Okay, let's say that the UK was a superpower and the US wasn't, but it had the same corrupt government it has now. If the UK would invade the US, seeing that it once ruled it, you might think "why the fuck would anybody care about the uk invading the us? fuck everyone that isn't me." Now, the reason why the rest of the world cares, is because COUNTRIES AREN'T ALLOWED TO FUCKING INVADE OTHER COUNTRIES AND ANNEX THEM YOU FUCKING SELF CENTRIC MORON.

The talking point on reddit to marginalize the movement has been to point to that sub and their mods as proof the whole thing is a psyop… Which is disingenuous honestly. #walkaway has been all over the news for the past 2 weeks, and the take over of that sub was 5 days ago. So sure, Trump supports may have taken over that sub, but to act like the entire movement coming from Russia or T_D is kind pathetic. It's is possible to realize the DNC isn't offering anything besides "we're not trump" and have been center right for years. I'm always surprised when I hear someone claim to be a liberal or progressive but supports the DNC... The same way I'm surprised by people who claim to be libertarian and support the RNC. These parties don't represent ether party and are bought and paid for.

If you walk away from the Democrat Party generally become more conservative
And considering the left will even call Sanders a right-winger for not supporting the abolition of ice we can't really take them seriously.

Wow that’s so crazy. I’m ready to #walkaway right now because an article you read said something bad about Bernie Sanders. The left universally loves Sanders and one person talking bad about him makes me way to #walkaway and become a conservative like Bernie would want.
Then again I heard a republican say that Donald Trump is a bad guy and not a true conservative the other day. (Did you know he just registered republican a few years ago?) Are you ready to #walkaway and not vote republican in 2018 and 2020?

I wouldn’t say the left “Universally loves Sanders” I feel he has a lot of the same problems as Trump, in that a lot of his views are very Isolationist (he wants to leave pretty much every major trade agreement) - all of the crazy hate fueled bullshit.

Obviously, the same rule doesn't apply to conservatives, even when the wacko is Trump.

They're certainly the most Russian.

What's wrong with being Russian?

World Cup has been amazing they did a great job hosting!
1 TheCheshireCody 2018-07-11
Nothing, until they start trolling our social media to damage our culture.
1 murphy212 2018-07-11
What do you mean by culture? Can this term really be applied to an overweight, overmedicated, and overindebted carceral, welfare/warfare slave society?
Or perhaps the culture whereby men can amputate their testicles and become women, where men can get pregnant and give birth, and where the lower intestine is confused for a sexual organ?
The point I'm trying to make is that culture (civilization, truth), has started being systematically destroyed in the USA a long time ago already. The process is almost complete. It is sad really, as the US is indeed the only nation ever founded on the natural principle of individual liberty.
Oh, and the destroyers aren't best described as Russian.

Weird when I walked away it was because they were too centrist. I am left. I havent ever said anything remotely like that. Your argument is invalid
1 ContestModeAlt 2018-07-11
Not a fan of the DNC at all but im definitely not taking any steps closer to trump, like these guys would have you believe.
So weird that the only people in favor of walkaway are a td zealots. Makes you wonder lol
God do you think we're stupid? If we were stupid we'd already be Trump voters. I swear this shit only works on chainmail forwarding facebook users
1 differentbydefault 2018-07-11
Weird I am not a td zealot. So your generalization doesnt fit. Youd think you people would have learned from tge general to not generalize people. Guess not. Enjoy losing.
1 ContestModeAlt 2018-07-11
fine, youre not. you sound like one pretending to be a libtard. you cant even help snickering when you talk about all the liberal ideals you have
1 differentbydefault 2018-07-11
Lol and you sound like one of the millions of reasons the dnc will continue to lose
Bern it down
1 ContestModeAlt 2018-07-11
fine with me
1 charonco 2018-07-11
I made a fairly obnoxious comment in a thread over there and didn't get banned. I noticed when making the comment that every other comment in the thread was bashing the "movement". I seriously thought it was a parody sub.
1 howlinwolfbroccoli3 2018-07-11
yeah but all liberals become republicans so they are gonna have that in their history
1 WestCoastHippy 2018-07-11
This hippy liberal walked away from the Democratic party months into Bill Clinton's tenure. Most of my mainstream liberals walked away this election cycle. Nifty hashtag but the walkaway has already happened. Anybody still clinging to "Democrat" is not gonna walkaway.
1 potted_sage 2018-07-11
100%
1 Wh00ligan 2018-07-11
I don't blame you in the least, but did you walk towards the Trump side? This "movement" is acting like Dems are going full MAGA.
1 ForetellFaux 2018-07-11
Some people are angry that they're losing a propaganda war to a bunch of shitposters on the internet. Boy would my face be red if I had the entire MSM bullhorn blaring my message non-stop and I lost to a bunch of frog memes.
: )
1 WestCoastHippy 2018-07-11
Not really. I voted Stein, vaguely meaningless. If anything I just drifted further outside the system.
1 Wh00ligan 2018-07-11
Exactly my point
1 Chief_Dork74 2018-07-11
Democrats used to be pro-labor pro-country. They are now anti-labor anti-country and have been for a couple of decades. Their message is fuck off working class we will import your replacement and write op-eds about how you need to die off. Isn't going like they planned.
1 EitherOrMindset 2018-07-11
So Democrats are supposed to "WalkAway" to the anti-labor mass graves of the Republican Party? Lulz.
1 Chief_Dork74 2018-07-11
As compared to what, the democrats building an underclass of slave labor to replace the free working class that can and do vote against them. You are welcome to move south of the border if you want that sort of governance.
1 EitherOrMindset 2018-07-11
As compared to your Concern Trolling of your previous comment. And of "#WalkAway" logic, which is just a giant Concern Trolling.
1 Chief_Dork74 2018-07-11
Concern trolling would be warning people would walk away, not people walking away and testifying about it. I want you to keep crashing and burning, I want to hear your cries of impotent rage as you find out you are in the minority except on window licking echo chambers like redditt. I want to see you learn first hand that when the right reacts it is due to your own overeaching stupidity and unwillingness to leave people the fuck alone.
1 EitherOrMindset 2018-07-11
Take your meds
1 tatertatertatertot 2018-07-11
Walkaway is just a psyop by people who long ago "Demexited" and MAGA folks.
Happily it has no effect.
1 ContestModeAlt 2018-07-11
They think we are as dumb as t_d posters or something. I can just imagine them sending around their made up former democrat back stories.
They really thought we'd eat this shit up lol
Hey dummies, if we were that stupid we would have just believed trump from the beginning lol
1 CaucasianEagle 2018-07-11
All the commies in here is making me feel ill.
1 Riggedit 2018-07-11
All one must do is look at the REAL stories under the hashtag #Walkaway on FB, Twitter and Youtube.
Mind-blowing.
1 abcdavis 2018-07-11
YOU DON'T SAY.
1 allofusahab 2018-07-11
And right on cue, a whole host of bad faith actors from TD descend to "verify" the movement. What a joke.
1 TheCheshireCody 2018-07-11
Holy crap that sub is completely a sub-subreddit of The_Douchebag.
1 plantfood623 2018-07-11
It's so funny that every anti-democrat comment on this thread is getting massively downvoted. Even vary mild ones just offering a mild change in opinion. If their are
Boogie men"Russian bots" anywhere, they're pushing down any conservative sentiment.1 RMFN 2018-07-11
Totes Russian bots.
1 dankweeddoe 2018-07-11
Shills are strong in this thread.

Cool sounds great
1 differentbydefault 2018-07-11
Bernie soent his entire campaign trashing the dnc and trashing Clinton. Why would a single sanders supporter vote for her or any other corrupt establishment democrat? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/01/23/sanders-praises-trump-for-nixing-tpp-delighted-to-work-with-him-on-pro-worker-policies/

Looks like the facts dont line up with your drivel
1 jhso1108 2018-07-11
I have literally never posted in the the_donald.
Try harder.
I really don't get this. You see the walk away thing, so instead of any sort of introspection or considering what they are saying, you immediately attack anyone who identifies with it. To what end are you doing that?
I don't have to justify myself. Although, I have gone out of my way to with u/zherok.
Keep doing what you are doing, it will go such a long way towards winning people back to your side. /s
1 jhso1108 2018-07-11

Because he isn't a Democrat anymore. He has been freed from the brainwashing.
Duh. Why would an ex-Dem sound like a dem?
