The Big Flaw in the Democratic Party

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

If we look at the progressive agenda of the Democratic Party, and how Democratic and Independent voters respond, it seems impossible for right-wing politicians to be victorious in any pollical race of importance.

However, there is one big flaw within the Democratic Party; a flaw which is non-existent among those calling themselves “Republicans.”

In 1981, weeks before the inauguration of our 40th President, Ronald Reagan, private meetings within the Republican Party discussed the agenda of their new party’s leader.

President-elect Reagan’s first priority was “unification.” He demanded that all members of his party serving in Washington and in state’s legislatures support his agenda without exception. I don’t need to inform you that this continues today.

After Trump’s illegitimate inauguration in 2017, 100 percent of all Republicans capitulated to Trump and his unconstitutional agenda, surrendering their principles, morals, and right to think freely. On that sad day, in support of a man denounced by most real Republicans, every man and woman who were once proud to be members of the Grand Old Party, chose to be hypocrites and support the worst illegitimate president, and worst man in the world.

This unity is the only reason why Trump will receive this party’s nomination this week as their candidate for the third general election in a row. If the truth is told, and I’m telling it, Trump is a loser. He lost the popular vote in 2016, and would have lost the Electoral College vote without the interference of Vladimir Putin. Our government has colluded with the mainstream media to hide some of the evidence, preventing the voting public from knowing that Putin’s interference was the difference. He was badly beaten again in 2020. Trump should lose again in November.

HERE'S WHERE DEMOCRATS DIFFER FROM TODAY’S FAKE REPUBLICANS

In what is good for their integrity and self-respect, Democrats often openly disagree with each other. However, this is a bad idea when elections draw near.

“I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.” Will Rogers

If Democrats displayed unity during election years, they would likely win between 60 and 70 percent of all elections, and 99-100 percent of presidential contests.

TODAY’S DEMOCRATS ARE STUPID AND LOSE THEIR OWN ELECTIONS

Everyone who can read knows about the conflict within the Democratic Party right now. Some are calling for President Biden to resign from his reelection campaign and others continue to support him based on his accomplishments.

Most of you know that I have been conflicted. I admire the President and have equal admiration and respect for Vice-President Kamala Harris. However, what I do know is if I were a politician, I would attempt to keep the discussions private. Republicans are well-versed in secrecy, while Democrats refuse to ignore questions from the press.

Another situation which has not been on page one involves a member of the House who might be the most popular Democrat in Washington today.

There is an organization called “Democratic Socialists of America, DSA. It wouldn’t surprise you to know that Bernie Sanders, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were members of this group. I say “were” because the national association recently removed their support for AOC, although her popularity is far greater than any other Democrat in America.

I believe that the reason for abandoning her is foolish and un-American. Jamaal Bowman was a candidate for the House of Representatives. The district he would represent was very diverse. He indicated his support for the Palestinian people as the war in Gaza rages on. He lost the election, although he received the full support of AOC.

However, this is typical of both parties. Winning elections is more important than the rights of free thought and opinions. Politics is the ugliest profession in the world.

You would never see this situation happening within the Republican Party. It may exist, but the people will never know.

THERE WILL ALWAYS BE DISSENTION AMONG DEMOCRATS

An important quality on the Democratic side is the exchange of ideas. All good and even great things come from free thought, and offering those thoughts to others. Learning from others is a sign of intelligence, and that can never exist on the Republican side.

Today’s Republicans in name only do whatever Trump tells them to do. Recently a bipartisan agreement on border security was achieved. However, Trump ordered Republicans to void the agreement, and they obeyed.

I am not a member of either party.However I agree with the policies and courage of Democrats to continue their independence. This is why their platform serves the majority, and rejects the demands of special interests.

Sadly, they will never win as many elections as they should.
