People are ditching the communist Democrat party all over the country. One may be tempted to ignored deep blue shithole states like New York as being immune. But even New York is seeing now former Democrats ditching their party in droves because of radical progressivism, aka communism. They can call it whatever they want, they are turning off votes of all races in all parts of the country.
After living half of his life as a registered Democrat, Justin Roth, 42, re-registered in 2016 as an Independent — and then switched sides entirely to become a Republican in 2020.
“The reason I registered as a Republican has more to do with the Democrats than it does with Republicans,” said Roth, a single Staten Islander who teaches English as a second language. “I still consider myself liberal in a lot of ways, but I’m no longer a registered Democrat. They’ve just really gone off the rails for the past several years.”
As he’s watched the left wage cancel-culture wars and push for extreme political correctness, Roth said the Democrats have turned their backs on the issues that matter most to him.
Roth is in good company. The social justice obsessed, ultra-progressive, increasingly illiberal Left is even alienating liberal celebrities. Once feted as a progressive darling, Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted in May that he can no longer support the Democrats.
After spending half of his life as a Democrat, Justin Roth first registered as an Independent before finally becoming a Republican. He said the Democratic party has lost its way chasing “culture war stuff.”

“In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party,” he wrote. “But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican.”In June, he followed through on that promise by voting for Texas Republican Mayra Flores in a special House of Representatives election. Flores won in a massive upset, becoming the country’s first Mexican-born US congresswoman.
New York wouldn’t change over night obviously. It will take years before the state sees the affect of thousands ditching the communist Democrat party. But it’s a promising sign.
