Leaving the Democrat party
Old-school Democrats are going to have to choose whether to join the Republicans, or join the radicals who have taken over their own party now.

For the past few months I’ve seen bot accounts on social media labeled; Leaving MAGA.
Presumably Donald Trump voters who are unhappy with the president and his actions, either pertaining to the economy, or the Iran war. I say bot accounts, for while I accept that there are some voters that may not be in lockstep with the president on any particular issue, that they would “leave” is comical. Where would they go?
Have they suddenly become Democratic Socialists?
The question is really for “old-school” Democrats: Where will you go?
The Democrat party of JFK, Scoop Jackson, and even Bill Clinton is dead.
While their party has become more progressive over the years and some Democrats had accepted the leftward lurch, rocket fuel has now been added to their party’s radicalization. With the ascendancy of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City, and his two endorsed Democratic Socialist acolytes (Valdez, Chevalier) who won primaries this week in New York City, the “old-school” base of the Democrat party is out.
Free Palestine, “hate the Jews”, spread-the-wealth, eat-the-rich, destroy Western civilization is the baseline for the far-Left radical base of the party. Leftist Dan Goldman (of Trump impeachment fame (or infamy)) wasn’t spared, as he didn’t pay enough homage to the “hate the Jews” crowd. Even Hakeem Jeffries is now under threat from within the tent: “You’re next.”
Zohran Mandani, Graham Platner, Bernie Sanders, AOC, Ro Khanna, Elizabeth Warren are the Democrat [Socialist] party standard-bearers.
