The clock is ticking on the midterms.
At almost every turn in the primaries the status quo Dems are losing to progressives (DSA if you really want to go there) and while fighting among themselves the Dems have overlooked the simple solution for their problem.
The GOP is running scared because of the DSA and the Dems are totally shocked that their brand of corruption and gutless governance has turned the voter off….
This is a really good observation about the Dems problem….
With the primaries winding down and several Democratic Socialists and other progressives having defeated more moderate Democrats, there has been a lot of hand-wringing on the center left about whether these “insurgents” are so radical that they will impede a blue wave in the midterms.
Since Republicans have few accomplishments of their own to run on and lack a platform that appeals to anybody other than their MAGA base, the right-wing propaganda machine has been working overtime to push the narrative that the Democrats have been taken over by communist lunatics.
To back up those talking points, they highlight some of the most radical ideas that can be found on the platform of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) — such as abolishing the Senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court — and the fact that real socialism has failed where it has been attempted.
To be fair, that last part is certainly true, and some items on the DSA’s agenda are way out there; but are they any crazier than, “Let’s give all the money to billionaires and hope some of it trickles down to regular Americans,” or “Our top priority must be the construction of a grand ballroom”?
Still, it begs the question of whether the Democrats have a socialism problem.
…
However, as the primaries have shown, there are also a lot of disenchanted Americans on the left who don’t feel that corporate Democrats are serving their interests or are even fighting for them.
Therefore, we would argue that the party doesn’t have a “socialism” problem, it has a policy problem.
There you have what is happening in a nutshell and it goes further than anything the MSM has offered up in recent months.
Me? I love it and I will vote progressive every time….I just do not like the idea of calling them Democrats. ….for they are so much more than that tag.
The nation is beginning to wake up….and now when the elections in November roll around there should be all kinds of false BS spread and hopefully the voter will see through the crap and vote for what is best for the people and the nation.
Enough said?
