I'm Outta Here! 'Disgusted' Alan Dershowitz Announces He's Ditching the Democratic Party
2024-09-07
[Red State] Harvard Professor of Law Emeritus Alan Dershowitz has proven to be a wealth of (often but not always) solid commentary and analysis in recent years, as he is one of the few on the left side of the political aisle who’s been willing to point out that much of the endless Democrat lawfare against Donald Trump has been a banana republic style of justice and runs counter to our Constitution.

He’s also been a lifelong Democrat, which has been head-scratching to me. I sometimes wish I could ask, "How can you be a lifelong Democrat—did you hear what you yourself just said?"

But even Dershowitz has come to the obvious realization: this is not the Democrat Party of old; no, the modern version is a shrill, extremist version that wants to fundamentally transform America into some weird socialist utopia that it was never meant to be. He announced in August on the "Talkline With Zev Brenner Podcast" that he’s had enough in a clip that was re-posted Thursday evening and has gone viral on social media.

He's no longer a Democrat:

#3  Oh, he's still a Democrat. It's just that he's not a full blown commie which are the ones running the party/state now.

#2  I guess it's a one-for-one swap as Richard Chaney said he's voting for Kamala, you know, because Trump is the biggest threat to democracy and the Republic ever.

#1  Taking his comments at face value.

When a well known pillar of the Real Democrat Party openly states the New Democrat Party (NDP) is using a Banana Republic style of justice tactics, it runs counter to the US Constitution and US Code of Law.

That speaks volumes.
