Anyone who has to explain why they are quitting publicly is already acting like a cunt.

Publicly burning bridges on your way out won't convince anyone hun.

If you have a valid point or can expose corruption, hypocrisy, etc it can be perfectly fine.

But if you were a leftist Democrat 2 yrs ago and are leaving an explicitly right-wing company, instead of acting like they need to change maybe just admit you weren't a good fit? Especially when DW has had some tremendous victories in the debate you claim to care so much about.

If you have to say anything (and you really don't have to give specifics), just say you're thankful they gave someone with different views a chance but it wasn't a great fit and you're moving on.

Like, I can edit her existing Twitter thread (no need to write a fucking whole blog post about it) and have a perfectly acceptable statement.

I’m leaving The Daily Wire. I work hard getting the facts right and using precise language because of the heated nature of the gender debate, with so much at stake, while their pundits dump gasoline all over it for entertainment and clicks. As an independent journalist I will continue my commitment to factual and rigorous reporting on gender ideology and pediatric gender medicine, with the goal of reaching people across the political spectrum. You can help support my journalism by donating.

Could stop right there, but if she really needed to go on:

As a company, The Daily Wire is a fantastic place to work, they treat their employees extremely well, their editorial team is top notch and everyone I have ever interacted with there is wonderful. I am leaving because I want to reach people on the center-left and lately I’ve felt there has been a distinct increase in inflammatory rhetoric from some of The Daily Wire’s personalities that because of the heated nature of the gender debate working for a company with their reputation on the left make it more difficult to accomplish that.

As a pro-choice atheist who has consistently voted Democrat throughout my adult life

A "left the left" person fulfilling the neocon cycle perfectly.

Naturally TDW is a place where these creatures find shelter to fester and scheme.

As this Zerohedge comment says, neocons are Trotskyites who fled to the US in the 50's who want international war forever to maintain power.

So evil, insane, and demented they made Stalin look somewhat sane in comparison. They have running the United States at least for the past 30 years.

In other words, she’s a left winger who’s uncomfortable with right wing rhetoric, even the tepid controlled-oppositional opinions proffered by the Daily Wire.

I have to believe there are reachable centrists, including moderate liberals, who are uncomfortable with gender ideology

I seriously doubt that they exist. And to the extent that they do exist, they’ll all cowardly toe the party line on transgenderism because nearly everyone on the left fears ostracization, because group solidarity is a core component of leftism.

It’s also quite funny that you accuse me of wanting clicks while you use my name and picture for clicks. And not only that, but you turn against allies in the movement who have achieved far more in this fight than you have.

Christina was a leftist Democrat until a couple of years ago. She just got into this movement and now she feels that she is in a position to tell the rest of us how we should operate. Maybe control your ego and try to learn something. We’ve been here longer and done more.

Frankly, the exact same thing could be said of Walsh who was Never Trump in 2016 and defended the black "jogger" with the absurd justification of "real men like looking at construction sites".

People of course can be wrong about things, but I've never seen him explain any of his rather drastic changes of opinion.

Matt Walsh in 2016:

I see a guy who lies constantly and blatantly. I see a man who changes his positions and his principles at the drop of a hat. I see a deeply immature man who insults people on Twitter but lacks the courage to face them in person. I see someone who fashions himself "politically incorrect" but is really just a cruel and bitter old man who thinks it's funny to mock the disabled. I see a man with no honor who launches vulgar attacks on women and then lies about what he said. I see a phony who brazenly exploits the fears of the American public. I see a guy whose recklessness and greed drives his businesses into bankruptcy, and I see a guy who tries to silence journalists when they report on it. I see a guy who jazzes up the crowd at campaign rallies by bragging about his money and threatening to throw protesters out into the cold without their coats. And so on.

Given the nature of his accusations, I have trouble reconciling them with his modern online persona which borrows many attributes he then cited as serious character flaws in Trump. There's also a certain irony that his critics levy many of the same criticisms against him that he levied against Trump.

I think it's also instructive to compare his circa 2016 "hipster" look to his modern "manly" look and note that his change in appearance corresponds to his change in viewpoint and online persona.

As for whether or not it "helps us" I don't know (though I'm skeptical), but I do know it helps Matt Walsh. And you can be sure that as soon as something appears that would help "us" but hurt Matt Walsh, he will abandon "us" at the first opportunity.

Lol dude Walsh literally has no out. The only way he could abandon his current position is if he dies. Also Trump nor Walsh are God so stop acting like it's apostasy to have issues with the man

You can have issues with Trump, but if your issues with him are "he's a sexist pig, and he insults members of the press" and then you go on to act the same way while never addressing why you now consider this acceptable behavior, then I'm going to question your motivations. Especially if you're a professional pundit.

All it would take is an article: "Why I was wrong in this article I wrote in 2016". Maybe he's already written this; if he has then I take back what I said.

Every person who claims to be "politically homeless" or "tribeless" deeply deserves anything that happens to them.

Identity politics is bad, mkay. No matter which side perpetrates it.

My tribe is anyone who loves the constitution. I'm not rejecting someone who shares my values over their skin, nor will I accept people hostile to my values because of their skin.

Edit: i see the downvotes but no replies from you triggered leftists and laugh because you have zero fucking justification for your illogical bullshit. You aren't right wing. Fuck outta here.

Oh shut the fuck up you illiterate. I claim exactly zero urbanite leftists as "my people", regardless of our similar complexion. Their skin does not make them good people. Leftist collectivism based on race is illogical and fucking useless to any functional society. You are either a retard or a tool meant to sow useless sabotaging divisive ideology.

You literally parrot the same shit that destroys other leftist areas but with a different target of choice. The results are the fucking same.

I'm not turning my back on anyone, who shares my values or a reasonable approximation thereof.

You're the one arbitrarily separating people by race.
