The Democratic Party is Doomed

(Edited back to original Democratic Party. Intended slur was divisive)

Julian Assange spells out why the Democratic Party is doomed and a new party must be started. The party has been chasing Russia, Russia, Russia down a rabbit hole to the detriment of the real concerns of the Democrats since the loss of the election.

It is glaringly apparent that Hillary Clinton's legacy/image is much more important than the people she was representing. She and her entourage of party elites are determined to refuse to accept any responsibility whatsoever for her failure to become POTUS. They would rather destroy the Democratic Party than own up to the truth.

Assange Outlines The Six Reasons "Why The Democratic Party Is Doomed"

  1. The Democratic establishment has vortexed the party's narrative energy into hysteria about Russia
  2. The Trump - Russia collusion narrative is a political dead end. Despite vast resources, enormous incentives and a year of investigation
  3. The Democrat establishment needs the support of the security sector and media barons to push this diversionary conspiracy agenda
  4. The twin result is to place the primary self-interest concerns of most Americans, class competition, freedom from crime and ill health and the empowerment of their children, into the shadows
  5. GOP/Trump has open goals everywhere: broken promises, inequality, economy, healthcare, militarization, Goldman Sachs, Saudi Arabia & cronyism, but the Democrat establishment can't kick these goals since the Russian collusion narrative has consumed all its energy
  6. The Democratic base should move to start a new party since the party elite shows no signs that they will give up power.

"Democratic Party." FRightwingnut media like Breitbart, POX "News," etc. use that as a slur. They cranked it up during Dumbya/Cheney. It also sounds FRightwingnut. Rec'd!! @The Wizard

Not at all, so the name is a misnomer. ("Republican" is a meaningless noise, so they don't have the same problem.)

If you insist, call them the "Democratic(TM)" party - but make sure you include a trademark sign. Otherwise you are contributing to the perpetuation of a fraud.

Hell, the democratic base helped get us where we're at. Does he mean the democratic party warmonger base? Or the democratic party neoliberal base? Or the 80% of democrats who approved of Obama job performance? Even the so called progressive wing of the party refuses to be antiwar and participates in the Russia war propaganda.

@Big Al
add it all up it's still better than the other side of the aisle - which is populated with Nazis and Ruskies (and most should be hanged as traitors).
Half of the Dem Base doesn't even bother to vote, becuz the party doesn't give them anything to vote for. Wait! Wait! Come back! We've got Hillary to vote for this year!! Where y'all going? We got Hillary!!

It's interesting reading some folks regarding 2020 and how the Dems will approach it.

"We need new blood, fresh faces with new ideas. We don't want to see Biden/Clinton/Sanders again. Bring out Harris, Franken, Gillibrand."

What utterly amuses me is that "new blood" is meant to simply state young faces for neoliberal policies. "New ideas"? What nonsense.

The party is dead, I just wish it would properly stay in its coffin.

@Strife Delivery asks for "fresh blood", the implications are somewhat different than they would be for others.
