Billionaire Bill Ackman left the Democratic Party over differences in their priorities. And we are not talking about one or two differences; we are talking about thirty-three differences. It reminds me of the time that Ronald Reagan left the Democratic Party. He was asked why he left the Democratic Party. He replied that he did not leave them, but that they had left him. Ackman officially endorsed President Trump right after the first assassination attempt.
Ackman, who had previously donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democrats, cited illegal immigration, inflationary policies and the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan as the first three reasons why he dumped the Democrats. Ackman went on to name even more policies the Democrats espoused as reasons why he left. That includes unnecessary energy regulations on businesses, policies releasing violent criminals without bail and the destruction of street businesses by decriminalizing shoplifting influenced his bygone support.
More business-related grievances include attempts to limit or ban fracking and the promotion of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) hiring practices.
Ackman blasted the LGBT curriculums and the encouragement of sex-change surgeries for minors. He also denounced the Black Lives Matter (BLM) riots and COVID-19 lockdown policies of the early Biden-Harris administration before condemning anti-Israel protests on college campuses and the rise of antisemitism.
Other admonishments include vaccine mandates, censorship of free speech, weaponization of the justice system, the Defund the Police movement, government subsidies for insufficient products, federal mandates and attempts to ban gas-powered cars and stoves.

Ackman called out Democrats for using “a backroom process by undisclosed party leaders” to selected Vice President Kamala Harris instead of giving Americans the opportunity to elect a new candidate to replace President Joe Biden on the ballot.
He concluded by calling Harris an “inferior candidate” before stating “Americans lost confidence in the accuracy and trustworthiness of our voting system” as a result of laws preventing voter ID.
“I welcome your thoughts,” Ackman wrote at the end of his list of grievances.
