Why Democrats Fail to Dominate our Federal Government

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

I support the majority of a Democratic platform. My problem is that I find the Democratic Party disorganized and constantly fails to offer a united front.

“I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.” Will Rogers died in 1935.

Nothing has changed for decades. Since 1981, when Ronald Reagan demanded 100 percent loyalty from his party, this policy has remained the only constant within the Republican Party, until 2016. However, on January 20, 2017, Republicans revealed levels of cowardice and hypocrisy I had never seen before.

On the other side of the aisle, not once over that same period of time have I witnessed a unified Democratic Party. If they adopted the same policy as Republicans, I have no doubt that Democrats would have controlled the presidency and both houses of Congress for most of the latter part of the 20th century into the 21st.

DEMOCRATS ARE REPEATING THEMSELVES

Today, July 9, 2024, Congress is back in session. However, neither party is performing the duties for which they were elected.

Republicans will be planning new strategies to protect Trump from prison by hiding his many crimes with the assistance of a politicized Supreme Court.

Democrats are meeting to discuss the future of their candidate, President Biden. They are considering removing their support and denying the will of Democratic voters by abandoning their support at next month’s convention. Their apparent replacement would be Vice-President Kamala Harris.

I HAVE ALWAYS SUPPORTED MS. HARRIS

During the 2020 primary season I supported Ms. Harris. My reasons were based on age, 59, sex, female, ethnicity, Black and Indian, intellect, brilliant, and experience, state District Attorney, state Attorney General, United States Senator, and Vice-President of the United States.

After the debate, and all the speculations began, I remained supportive of Mr. Biden, not that I believed he is the stronger candidate, but because his accomplishments deserve our appreciation and support.

However, recently I have discovered incidents which question my loyalty. Leaders of our nation’s allies, major donors, and a growing number of Democratic members of the House and Senate forced me to rethink my position.

Then I learned that recent interviews on ABC and other pro-Democrat media were apparently staged. Interviewers received a list of questions from Biden’s aides prior to the actual interviews.

I hate politics and politicians. They cannot be trusted.

WHERE I STAND

I woke up this morning still undecided. However, as the morning passed, I now believe that this election is critical to our nation’s future, and Trump cannot be allowed to win and put an end to democracy once and for all. The most recent biased and politicized decision by Trump’s stacked Supreme Court will allow the Russian agent to create a fascist regime and end the dream of our Founding Fathers forever.

Kamala Harris will do one thing neither President Biden nor Trump can: she will create a level of excitement neither of these two old men can accomplish. This is the single element which has been missing since both men declared their candidacy. No one wanted a repeat of 2020, with the exception of the result.

Ms. Harris will attract demographics neither Trump nor Biden can. I firmly believe that the American people are ready for a woman president.

Before Nikki Haley ended her campaign to win the Republican presidential nomination, I wrote an article calling Republicans what they are: fools and incompetents.

I am positive that if she had her party’s support, she would have defeated President Biden in November. Trump was soundly defeated in 2020, and faces the same results this year.

Mr. Biden is vulnerable. Republican strategists have no plans if Ms. Harris becomes the Democratic nominee. It could be very interesting, and a reason for another historic voter turnout.

The Real Victims in the Trump Saga

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s defense strategy has changed, slightly. He claims that all of his legal battles are founded in political strategy, created by his enemies. He is playing the role of a victim. I guess part of Trump’s decline in mental acuity is a severe loss of memory. He appears to forget that many of the crimes he is accused of began long before he made the mistake of seeking the presidency. Others, including his insurrection on January 6, and stolen classified documents are actions witnessed by every American. We are not falling for your bullshit, Donnie Boy. THE REAL VICTIMS A brief look at Trump’s history reveals a life of crime. From bribing public officials, and refusing to pay contractors, to allegations of physical, sexual assault, the orange buffoon left a long trail of victims. As your illegitimate president, he violated the basic human rights of thousands. According to medical experts, Trump’s failure to take timely action to prevent an oncom...

Aileen Cannon: A Corrupt Judge Appointed by a Lifelong Criminal

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Aileen Cannon is a federal judge, appointed by Donald Trump. She has been charged with one of the most important cases involving Trump’s life of crime; his theft of classified documents when he was evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021. Yesterday she gave Trump a gift by delaying his upcoming trial. The events which followed prove that he violated the Espionage Act of 1917. He is also guilty of lying to the FBI, a federal crime. Before the raid on Mar-a-Lago, when they discovered boxes of national secrets hidden throughout the millionaire’s playpen, he claimed that he had returned all of them. TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS: LIES, MISDIRECTION, BASELESS ATTACKS You might have noticed that Trump, his failed party, and his supporters constantly lie about everything. There is undeniable proof that the only attempted fraud in the 2020 election can be attributed to Trump supporters. The 91 indictments against Trump are not a “witch hunt:” I have ...

Lindsey Graham has Become a Whiny Little Bitch

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Before Senator John McCain’s death in 2018, Lindsey Graham was a somewhat rational man. It seems that the Senator from Arizona kept the little man from South Carolina in line, and influenced him to do the right thing most of the time. However, almost immediately after Senator McCain lost his battle with cancer, Graham began to offer his allegiance to the man his closest friend despised. I will always wonder why? Senator McCain was a man with principles and integrity. Trump is a man filled with hatred and cares only for himself. The reality is that Graham is now a man without morals who supports a man he knows is opposed to everything loyal Americans like John McCain stood for. A CORRUPT SUPREME COURT, FIVE MEN AND FOUR WOMEN, COULD BRING AN END TO THE DREAM OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS No sane human being can deny that just before the 2020 election Moscow Mitch McConnell stacked the Supreme Court with three additional justices who are politically bias...
