Indeed. I chose to #walkaway from the Republican Party out of sheer embarrassment and shame. Glad to see tens of thousands of others joined. Even if they aren’t Russian bots.

and that's great. I can acknowledge that you did (even though I know that you are lying) and the reasons why you did. What I find hilarious is the extreme denial from the Dumbocrat lovers here as to why people are walking away from the idiotic Democrat Party. They are idiots. And yet you guys just don't want to hear it. To the point where you are willing to lose election after election. Just like the NDP. So full of sanctimony, and so full of crap.

There's no such thing as gay rights, minority rights, trans rights or women's rights.

There are only individual rights. Either we all have the same rights, or we're just groups of special interests fighting for preferential treatment.

Ill start by saying that both democrats and republicans are an embarrassment to American politics and the parties need a serious revamp.

That being said it should be made clear the differences between democrats and republicans.

in 2008 and 2012 Democrats elected a man who is a Harvard graduate, who married another Harvard graduate, who have 2 kids one of which is lining up to be another Harvard graduate.

in 2016 Republicans elected a man who has 5 kids with 3 women in which he has cheated on all 3, his current wife he cheated on with porn star Stormy Daniels. Trump has 2 sons, one that was revealed to be meeting with russian lobbyists and lawyers and is being investigated for criminal conduct and collusion, the other was part of a scheme to funnel money for cancer charities into his and his dads personal finances, that charity foundation was court ordered to be dissolved only months ago.

Trump regret remains at 2%-4%, which means that between 1.3-2.5 million people regret voting for trump. Is is the first time in a long time that members of the presidents own party have stepped up to call down his repugnant acts.

Take a look at the newly elected house reps:
Republicans elected 30 men, and 1 woman, all white

Democrats elected 17 men, 23 women and 13 of those reps are of a different ethnic back ground than white.

Democrats are about real representation and it shows, minorities will continue to cling to the democrats because the democrats are actually electing minority leaders.

That being said, they both suck.

However, #WalkAway has also now been connected to Kremlin-linked Russian bots, and it is now the seventh most popular Russia-influenced hashtag as of this writing, according to the website Hamilton 68, which tracks Russian influence on Twitter as part of the Alliance for Securing Democracy, an initiative of the nonpartisan German Marshall Fund. The purpose of this now-astroturf campaign is to manipulate public opinion by creating the illusion that this is a popular movement. In reality, #WalkAway has become pure propaganda, a psychological operation."

Hamilton 68 was 100% propaganda.

Created by the ASD advisory council. Ran by neoconservative writer Bill Kristol, former Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, ex-Hillary for America chief John Podesta, and former heads or deputy heads of the CIA, NSA, and the Department of Homeland Security.

Twitter executives and engineers hacked Hamilton 68's "secret list of Russian accounts" and found out they were all regular American, Canadian and British citizens that held views that went against the Democratic Party. Twitter was trying to expose Hamilton 68 and call them out but Government liaisons pulled Twitters leash and didn't let them.

Hamilton 68 was the source for THOUSANDS of "Russia is controlling Trump" news stories for years, which are now all 100% based on 100% cow fertilizer.

Regular ordinary people were secretly deemed Russian.

Twitter knew, told to keep quiet.
