Listen Up Democratic Party Establishment

Submitted by JtC on Thu, 03/05/2020 - 1:46pm

As a member of the disaffected left, I feel it is my duty to let you know that I will do whatever I can to throw a monkey wrench into the upcoming election by not voting for your chosen candidate. Period. And I will do my utmost to convince others of the same.

We, the disaffected left, have the power to split this Party. I hope you understand that.

I will never vote for a Democratic establishment/centrist ever. I will vote anything but blue if you shove another centrist down our throats.

Who's with me.

Lovely quotation, Sirena.

@Sirena

Of course, I'm a huge Steely Dan fan, but even if I weren't, how appropriate.

The ruling classes need an extra party to make the rest of us feel as if we participate in democracy. That's what the Democrats are for. They make the US more durable than the Soviet Union was.

Been there, done that...by that I mean

the vote blue, no matter who thing.

I totally done with the Democratic party, especially after what they have done to Tulsi.

For months, I have been wrestling with my personal emotions over how badly we the people have been and are continuing to be screwed by the establishment, but in particular, by the Democratic party. I have not been able to make myself post much because the current reality has made me so negative and cynical. I used to read everything I could about politics, both here and elsewhere on line. But the reality of it all has dragged me down so much that, aside from a few Twitter posts, I have pretty much dropped out.

I really wish the people in this country would wake up and hit the streets or do whatever it takes to rid ourselves of the gross corruption in our political system. I would gladly join them. The Occupy movement had so much potential until it was crushed and most people were unwilling to take the risks to continue it. And I blame myself too.

The United States is a dying empire. Dr. Cornel West really said it best for me when he said "I don't want to run the empire, I want to bring it down!" I just wish I knew how to make that happen.

If you build it, they will come...

.
We simply have to create and build a new political platform in this Country, because the Democratic Party is wholly corrupt and so arrogant that they don't even mind just hanging out their hypocrisy for all the World to see.

As an example, just two+ ago weeks The Democratic Party decided to relax and bend the rules in order to get Mike Bloomberg included into the Debates. That's okay Mike you can participate (without qualifying). They were worried at the time that Joe Biden could not win anything, and Bloomberg was the only reliable "life raft" left. But Bloomberg went down in flames. Then after the Biden Super ~~Thursday~~ Tuesday blowout, where Tulsi Gabbard won 2 Delegates, and therefore qualified by their own rules for the next Debate -- now The Democratic Party suddenly decides that a candidates must have over 20% of the Delegates in advance, to be allowed in the Debate.

The hypocrisy is stunning.

Yet The Democratic Party will never change, and it simply must be abandoned in order to ever move the needle and create the oxygen necessary for change. As The Democratic Party just gets more arrogant, and authoritarian, and crooked with each Election.

Unlike the DNC, The GOP Establishment was different in one key respect. They tried to act just like the DNC, but they lacked the criminal level, killer instinct to just defy and break all the rules, and due process, and openly and explicitly Rig things for either Jeb Bush or Paul Ryan, etc. As a result, Donald Trump succeeded in being the anti-candidate, and in reshaping the Republican Party around a different "America First" message and agenda, with a new emphasis on: U.S. Manufacturing Jobs, better Trade deals, ending some Military activities, lowering prescription drugs, criminal justice reform, and yes protecting our Borders (which looks quite rational now in the age of Drug/Opioid trafficking, Human Trafficking, MS-13 Gangs, and the CoronaVirus).

But The crooked Democratic Party cannot be taken over from within in a similar fashion by someone like Bernie Sanders or Tulsi Gabbard -- because they cheat. And they cheat hard. And they not only like to cheat, but they are proud to be seen cheating. No one can ever stop them, because they control much of the Media, and the Courts. The will of the Public will simply never be manifested there ... no matter what movement attempts to rise up there.

So we need to build something new. The last time this was really tried was with Ross Perot and "The Reform Party". It quickly went adrift with a lot internal fighting, and lack of good candidates. But the concept was the right one.

A new Platform needs to be build -- complete with its own Media (to get around the Mainstream Fake News gatekeepers) and its own Public Debate forums, and Town Hall events.

People who are serious about change need to leave The Crooked Party, and flock in droves to the new Platform. The old Democratic Party will crumble (just like Chris Matthews) once people begin to recognize that they are not the only choice anymore.

I'm afraid that's not true.

@FreeSociety

If anything, the GOP pioneered the modern use of massive, digital-technology-driven electoral fraud, beginning, I think, with the senatorial campaign of Connie Mack, and coming to horrible fruition in the two George W. Bush non-elections.

I wish you were right.

I'm totally with you!

I'm late but my vote still counts, and my vote is not 'blue no matter who'. They can f-off if they screw US (Bernie - not me, US) over again.
