Here are their bullet points.

The Democratic Party and its followers have left me for many reasons, but here are a few examples:

The party and its followers have been showing illiberal tendencies for some time.

It has gone off the rails on immigration, free speech, identity politics and some other issues — a topic I’ll defer for another day.

I’m no Trump supporter, but I’ve been horrified and repulsed by the political and cultural left’s hatred, demonization and mistreatment of President Trump, his family, his administration officials and his voters, which is even worse (if that’s possible) than what the right did to President Obama.


One does not have to be Russian to be ignorant and completely self-centered.

She also claims a part of it is professional. This person is all over the map.

More:

For example: Defending Hillary Clinton in 2016 and the Democratic Party’s current far-left stance on immigration would’ve required me to be dishonest about my views or to contort my opinions into impossible positions.


So more Manchin, less Clinton?

Here it is. She is one of those beautiful leftist independents!!!

I see myself as a political independent these days, who’ll opine based on what she sees and thinks, not along party lines.


And a self-proclaimed "renegade!"

For what it’s worth, renegades like me are like that canary in the coal mine: We’re trying to warn Democrats when they’re tone-deaf or still don’t get it.
