Mesha Mainor, GA House Democrat, leaves party for moral reasons

Mesha Mainor, a GA Democrat from District 56 in the Georgia House since January 2021 has decided she will go to the other side of the aisle. She has stated it is not for political reason or gain, since she is in a blue district but because of moral reasons. She is as Georgia as you can get even representing the area where MLK last lived. She worked with John Lewis.

My name is Rep. Meisha Mainor and today I made the decision to leave the Democrat Party. I represent a blue district in the city of Atlanta so this wasn’t a political decision for me. It was a a MORAL one. I will NEVER apologize for being a black woman with a mind of my own.

"For far too long, the Democrat Party has gotten away with using and abusing the black community," she added. "For decades, the Democrat Party has received the support of more than 90% of the black community. And what do we have to show for it? I represent a solidly blue district in the city of Atlanta. This isn’t a political decision for me. It’s a moral one."

This is the heart of the matter. It is not about left or right anymore it truly is about saving our nation for radicalization that is occurring in schools, the workplace and with elected officials.

Crime is out of control. Perverts teaching children to choose their sexuality in 2nd grade. Pride parades and flags in schools but no US Flags allowed or used by teachers. Coke in the White House. A president who cannot walk, talk or read a teleprompter.

This is how people are going to vote in 2024, against policy and for policy not for a personality, and it will be a bloodbath for the current administration.

This is how people are going to vote in 2024 and it SHOULD be a bloodbath for the current administration.

Not holding my breath though.

Good for her. I hope she is well liked in her district, so that many others follow her.

Seems really hard to have morals, and be a democrat right now.

Yeah well I wouldn’t pop the champagne yet, it’s only 1 of them that decided to reject stupidity.
The rest still have no morals, scruples or integrity.

Trump relentlessly pointed this out during his 2016 campaign, saying "Give me a try, really what do you have to lose?"

The democrats went nuts because they knew he was right.

just think, if more democrats actually learn what Dr. King was talking about, they might realize how racist the left really is and switch too.

SO all she's saying is they didn't receive enough reparations for selling their votes? Maybe next time find out about just how much either party cares about you.

Ya love to see it.


If one believes that their race makes up the largest proportion of who and what they are, then attempting to be a democrat as well will insure them of being a hypocrite.

I dont believe that that is accurate but hey, whatever gets folks to see the truth of the matter.

I really wish you would go back and reread history on that front before you keep telling people things that are not accurate.
MLK was opposed to both parties but worked closely with democrats on civil rights. He was also a self proclaimed socialist.
His father was a republican but changed party affiliation during the Kennedy days.

How about reading the reason instead of making up some BS about reparations? I also stated it is not so much policallty as it is morally.

The Democrats are morally bankrupt. Coke in the White House? I didn't think a BJ in the oval office could be outdone and they did.

Yes , due to the simple fact Democrats were opposed to "civil rights".
Why read history , when I actually lived it ?
"Socialist" has a diversified meaning .
If one has friends , and gets out and mingles with em , that can be considered "Socialist" .
Now , who should partake of the reading ?

I would consider Mesha as a "True Blue Democrat" in the old style terms.
Getting away from the once named "Democratic Party" that has been overtaken by the Progressive Liberals .
The Democrat Party hasn't existed for over 20 years now .

She's just the face of white supremacy.

a reply to: matafuchs

Read your own damn material then. She's mad because of how blacks were treated and not given their due. Not too hard to figure that out but guess that doesn't fit what you wanted to gaslight

I am going to explain this to you like I would a 6 year old.

First off, these are the words of Dr. King.

“I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream.”
“I have a dream that one day right there in Alabama little black boys and little black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.”
“Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice.”
“We will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed — we hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.”

Now none of that says be a Republican. And King may not have been or cared about political parties. But today, the Democratic party is pushing CRT, a theory that Black people are inferior, and marginalized by whites, and should be given extra to make up for that. I firmly stand against that ideal, and instead cling to the words of Dr. King and KNOW that what I believe follows Dr. Kings teachings and opposes what CRT teaches.

Gaslight? You are bringing race into this. You said reparations. Her reason was the following, that I already posted, you you damn well did not read.

"When I decided to stand up on behalf of disadvantaged children in support of school choice, my Democrat colleagues didn’t stand by me," Mainor explained of her decision in a statement to Fox News Digital. "They crucified me. When I decided to stand up in support of safe communities and refused to support efforts to defund the police, they didn’t back me. They abandoned me."

Morality.

Now, if she wants to fight for black and their empowerment, especially in schools, why would I not agree with that?

My post, the OP, is about politicians moving away from the Democrats and what they are running on. She stood up for herself instead of rolling over like so many other elected black woman. One from her own state who NEVER admitted she lost but that is cool because she is....you figure it out.

She appears to have left over school choice... which would definitely benefit blacks. Most blacks support school choice but this goes against the Democrat's largest donors which is the teachers unions.

Thanks for sharing.

Correct. The part that got me is where she is from, who she worked with and how she came up in politics. She seems to be the new generation after Maxine Waters and her constant pandering. I hope she sticks to her guns and can get what she needs for her community.
