I think some of us have heard about the #Walk Away Campaign. As the Democrats continue their weaponization of the Federal .gov against their political opponents; lawmakers are leaving the party because of this.
We've already heard of the Arizona U.S. Senator that left a couple of years ago. Now we have a more high profile Senator, Joe Manchin leaving the Democratic party and like Sinema, not running for re-(s)election next time around.
And there's a bunch of State legislators who have quit that are Democrats, when looking at the roster.
"WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia announced Friday he has switched his registration to independent, raising questions about his political plans since the move could help his chances should he seek elected office again in a state that has turned heavily Republican.
"He had already announced in November that he wouldn’t seek re-election to the Senate, giving Republicans a clear path to picking up his West Virginia seat in their bid to retake the majority next year. "
