'I'm leaving the Democratic Party today': Democrats are infuriated by their own party's deal with the GOP to reopen the government

Many Democrats are incensed about the deal Senate Democrats reached with Republicans on Monday, the third day of a shutdown, to reopen the government.

On Monday, a bipartisan group of senators — including 33 Democrats — led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer reached an agreement to fund the government until February 8.

The senators agreed to the deal in exchange for a promise from the GOP to vote on legislation to codify the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which protects from deportation about 700,000 undocumented immigrants known as Dreamers and is set to expire on March 5.

But many Democratic lawmakers and activists, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Kamala Harris of California, denounced the deal, arguing that Democrats couldn't trust Republican leaders to fulfill their promises on immigration, the issue at the heart of the disagreement between the parties.

These are the people who were going to leave the country if Trump was elected.

California. LA to SF and 30-50 miles inland, I wonder what China would pay? They could trade back their bonds. Maybe keep Orange county.

Path to legalization after 10 year wait, if any government benefits are utilized during that time it resets the clock. No chain migration.

THIS scared the daylights out of the statist pukes...when a certain billionaire from Queens who has had more minorities on his payroll than Pelosi et al, uttered these blasphemous words, they knew they had to shut him down.

Now he's playing them like Van Halen plays a guitar, and I pray the millions of Americans who've been had by these jackwagons actually DO leave the Dems and join the Deplorables.

Democrats, who broke their promises and stabbed Reagan in the back on an immigration deal, are afraid that Republicans won’t keep their promises.

LOLOLOL

Yes, all those glowing spots at night in Communist nations show how dedicated they have been to the planet.

Yup nailed it. Hopefully more moderate Democrats will leave the party before the midterms and 2020. How old school Democrats and classical liberals can continue to vote Democrat is perplexing.

Most don’t know what a “classical liberal” is. What I find most perplexing is the straight, white, Christian male that STILL votes Democrat!!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING????? lol

The evils of communism are rarely mentioned anymore, and more and more demonstrators openly wave hammer-and-sickle flags (though they’ve never handled either). They can’t lock down the anarchists because they don’t want to be dominated by communist dictatorship any more than they’d want fascist dictatorship. These fractures on the left undoubtedly cost Hillary the White House, and that problem won’t go away for them. Conservatives have a similar problem, and had to accept that a president who was OK with “gay marriage” was still preferable to Hillary.

After the first year of the civil war in Spain in the 1930s the communists murdered the anarchist leadership and pressed the membership into communist formations; they could never control them, and simply eliminated them as a separate force. This led Orwell to turn on the Spanish left; the ideals the general population supported had already died by 1937 - and the war would drag on for two more years.
