A post mortem examination of the United States Democratic Party

If it is to survive the Democratic Party must change. If it continues on the awful path it has consistently been on since 1992 then it will deservedly perish despite the best intentions of activists in organisations such as Justice Democrats and Democrats For Life of America. The Democratic Party has shamelessly betrayed, turned against and left behind it's main base which was the working class people of America. It may seem strange to the younger generations of America but the Democratic Party was once vibrant, full of ideas and solutions while it was the party of the New Deal. It used to be the party of labour unions and increasing income for working class people. The Democrats have lost their way and it is no accident. William Jefferson Bythe III (also known as Bill Clinton) and Albert Arnold Gore III re-branded the party as New Democrats in 1992 when the corporate puppets of the Democratic Leadership Council took over. The only reason this hair brained experiment succeeded in the beginning was that Ross Perot's Reform Party took a gargantuan bite out of the Republican Party due to George Herbert Walker Bush's disastrous negotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement which was a titanium bar to the knees of workers in America, Canada and Mexico. A North American Free Trade Agreement that the New Democrats subsequently implemented. Outsourcing and shipping out working class people's employment and way of life was bad enough but Clinton and Gore compounded this catastrophe with the cataclysm of repealing Glass Steagall and the Banking Act. If anyone thinks describing the aforementioned as catastrophic and cataclysmic is hyperbolic there are aspects that must be taken into consideration. The repeal of Glass Steagall and the Banking Act led to the Wall Street crash which caused an international financial and economic series of crises. This led to lower living standards across much of the world considering many of the working class people there were not wealthy to begin with. Another facet to comprehend is that NAFTA was an economic disaster for America, Canada and Mexico. Anyone asserting otherwise is living in a fantasy abstract and it is imperative that they face the brutal reality. Real incomes have regressed in all three nations. Trade union statements by workers in each countries confirm this as do numerous economic studies in all three countries. Clinton also granted the People's Republic of China permanent normal trading relations which decreased American exports and heavily damaged manufacturing in America. Abandonment of tariffs and economic trade barriers have been disastrous for working class people across the world and this is true in a North American context. Another dangerous development from NAFTA is that it has led to further attempted corporate takeovers and coups borne out of malevolence. The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership TTIP and Trans Pacific Partnership TPP would have given corporations power over national executives, national judiciaries, national legislatures and international law. Fortunately Brexit killed TTIP and Trump killed TPP but the latter's action will be meaningless unless he stops the Trade and Investment Services Agreement TISA. This is the Fascist merger of corporate and state Benito Mussolini described. Not only would the right wing corporate Democrats have acquiesced to this but they would have been supportive and advocated for it. This is a major component of the massive plethora of problems the party has. This zealous belief in neoliberal free trade policies killed working people who formed the base of the Democratic Party and led to one of their former corporate donors Queen's plutocrat Donald John Trump being able to run a platform with populist trade and jobs protectionism as a victorious Republican candidate. Tariffs, trade barriers and job protectionism should have formed a considerable majority of Democratic Party economic platforms, economic programs and economic policies. They did not and hence why there is a far right dystopia and excrement tempest in the United States of America today. Only Illinois and New Jersey saw increases in Democratic Party representation under Obama, three representatives and one representative in said states, and his right wing donor friendly policies were to blame.

Another major obstacle is their zealous pro abortion position that they push. In case they had not noticed there are millions of Americans who don't want to vote for pro abortion representatives never mind pro abortion candidates who are right wing corporate Republicans on economic issues. A third of Democrats are pro life. Yet they are ignored or demonised by their own party. They sided with Sanders last time begrudgingly as he was pro life on every issue except abortion. This is disgraceful hostility who hold legitimate political beliefs. The corporate right wingers of the DNC and DLC thought it correct to impose those who held the same position as Nixon and Reagan such as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on working class people who wanted to protect the lives and human rights of children. It must be emphasised again that pro life Democrats don't vote for pro abortion Republicans. Democrats complain about and lament the fact there are 37 states with child protection laws they describe as targeted regulation of abortion providers. They do not follow the logic of people voting representatives who legislate such statutes wanting to abolish the practise altogether never mind targeted regulation. Justice Democrats make the monumental mistake of backing the corporate Democrats on this. Both hypocritically mindlessly drone the mantra of a Nation of Islam, an African American racist supremacist organisation, inspired movement about African American lives mattering however both ignore the facts that over 1,800 American American children are killed by abortion daily and that over sixteen million African Americans have been killed in this manner since Roe versus Wade and Doe versus Bolton. Make no mistake by the letter of international law this should be a prosecutable indictment of genocide. As should the killing of over 22 million Caucasian children, over 11 million Hispanic and Latino children, almost 3 million
Polynesian children and over 1.7 million Native children as all of these constitute partial destruction of these groups of people thus this is in clear violation of international laws. If the Democrats want to succeed they can no longer ignore a third of their party and international law. They have rarely cared about the latter. Does anyone seriously think war crimes in the American Civil War were limited to bloodthirsty Republicans fighting for the Union? Have people forgotten that a Democrat spouted bovine excrement about small nations being liberated while leading America into an unnecessary international imperial war of mass slaughter and genocide? It should be noted that Harry Truman suffered post traumatic stress syndrome from his service in said war. It should also be considered that Harry Truman was the Democrat who literally flattened two cities in Japan. Flattened with nuclear munitions which literally burned men, women and children from the inside out. Democrat Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the president who turned Louisiana's Huey Long's Share the Wealth policy into the New Deal, had originally provoked Imperial Japan into attacking the United States of America at Pearl Harbour in Hawaii. It was Democratic president John Fitzgerald Kennedy who implemented the hugely disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion against Cuba which had been planned by Dwight David Eisenhower's Republican administration. Democrats Kennedy and Lyndon Baines Johnson, of Great Society and civil rights fame, continued Eisenhower's war against the south east Asian nation of Vietnam, a war which Vietnam eventually won. People forget that a Democrat Jimmy Carter originally intervened in the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan, which was then governed by the socialist People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan, in Operation Cyclone which ultimately led to the creation of the far right Wahhabi terror group al Qaeda. Bill Clinton helped Britain sustain military occupation and partition of Ireland and helped Medinat Yisrael sustain it's military occupation and partition of Palestine. Clinton also carried out heavy carpet bombing in Iraq and Yugoslavia. Clinton's administration bragged about interfering in the 1996 Russian election on behalf of Boris Yeltsin against Gennady Zyuganov which is ironic given their current unverified claims which have not been validated. Obama bombed and prosecuted wars in over seven counties. He dropped over twelve thousand more bombs than Bush did. He used ten times as many drone strikes as Bush. Drones have a fail rate of 90% for context there was 60% fail rate for the laser guided bombs of Desert Storm. Are we seriously supposed to believe, given the advances in technology especially military technology, that two decades led to a regressive thirty percent increase in missed targets? Yet the bovine excrement refrain “drones are the safest and most accurate weapons we have” kept coming from Obama. Between Barack Obama's elections and Trump's election Hillary Clinton threatened war against Russia, China, Iran and Palestine. As Secretary of State in the Obama administration she brought a genocidal government to power in Honduras which has the world's highest murder rate, also there has been such a zealous degree of femicide in Honduras that it constitutes an effective genocide as there are not enough females to reproduce the Honduran population {I'm with Her(!)}, she helped Obama's leading NATO's effort to overthrow Gaddafi which itself led to al Qaeda, D'aesh and Ansar al Sharia committing black genocide in Libya. This indicates that Clinton does not think that African lives matter despite the courtship of a certain black supremacist group. She oversaw the arming of the aforementioned groups and Ahrar al Sham in Syria Working class people don't want their taxes to support a militaristic foreign interventionist agenda. The Democrats are callously ignoring the considerable anti war contingent of their party. Could the Military Industrial Media and Academic Complex not make ample profits from stockpiling? After all the United States of America does have the Second Amendment to it's constitution

This is another issue which the Democratic Party and Justice Democrats get wrong. Infringing upon the right to bear arms is not going to win votes or elections. If anything it will keep costing Democrats votes and elections. American people know if law abiding people give up their firearms that criminals, violent cartels and gangsters will still be armed. Another thing that is rarely considered and discussed is that there vast wilderness in rural areas of America. There are districts and counties without police stations or points of contacts for miles around. What should an American do if they are attacked by an armed and violent criminal in such circumstances especially considering it could be a life or death matter? Such subtlety and nuances are absent from DNC and DLC policy formulation. It also serves to highlight the Democrats' hypocrisy on abortion once again. The ratio of abortion deaths to gun deaths in America is thirty nine to one. Last year due to a decrease in the number of abortions it was twenty seven to one. Yet Democrats rail against gun violence while loudly pushing abortion. The hypocrisy is abundantly clear to pro life people who believe in the second amendment.

The Democrats cowardice on healthcare and not fighting for single payer Medicaid for all is literally killing the party. Not defending the Medicaid and Medicare programs damages Democrats massively. If a party does not defend health coverage for poor people and elderly people or fight to expand said coverage then they will not get working class people out to polling stations to vote for the party. It is imperative that the Democratic Party realise this. Government insurance, the public option, may have temporarily resolved the issue in the past however that will not satisfy the people of America especially given the justifiably foul mood that they are in. If the president reverts to his position on health during 2000 and 2001, single payer, then he could seriously embarrass the Democrats. The issue of healthcare in America is too important to be ceded needlessly to the far right of the Republican Party when you consider that Paul Ryan has been dreaming of kicking poor people and old people off Medicare and Medicaid since he was a college student.

Obama wasted his presidency. He wasted his congressional majorities in relation to healthcare. He did not have the balls to go for single payer. He should not have settled for anything less than the public option. What he did was take the Heritage Foundation plan, what used to be known as Nixon care and what was known as Romney care in Massachusetts and repackaged it as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Instead of health coverage for all people Obama gave people the Republican alternative to single payer. Fining people for not buying private insurance is not left wing and it is certainly not democratic. The best Barack Obama could aspire to with the bully pulpit of the President of the United States of America was lower cost private insurance. That is a pathetic indictment of the former president. He could not even get effective or efficient price controls on the cost of insurance premiums hence why the phrase lower cost private insurance was used instead of low cost private insurance. What legitimate basis is there for private insurance companies being involved in something as paramount as healthcare especially considering the life and death implications? Absolutely none whatsoever. Democrats should have the balls to point out that healthcare is a human right according to article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights but the Democratic Party leadership do not believe in human rights not that they would have the testicular fortitude to articulate said belief if they believed in human rights. At the very least they should have the gumption to point out that the system America has wastes $753 billion a year with $145 billion going to administrative costs and $608 billion being directly attributable to the private for profit health insurance industry. Hope and change meant people expected single payer not a rigged private health insurance market for monopolising corporations.

Providing a toxic living environment for people is detrimental to said people's health. It is incredible something that is so blatantly obvious needs to be stated. Corporate Democrats seem to be blissfully unaware of this. Obama point blank refused to utilise the supremacy clause, article 5 clause 2 of US Constitution, to enforce the Fort Laramie Treaty in North Dakota in relation to the Dakota Access Pipe Line. The same pipe line was opposed, and correctly so, in Bismark so why would, or should, the people of Standing Rock be any different? Why did the Army Corps Engineers give easements to Energy Transfer Partners and Conoco? Especially in the circumstances of minimal consultation and no environmental impact assessment or investigation which is also illegal under United States federal law? Did Obama seriously expect Donald Trump, who has shares in Energy Transfer Partners, to enforce federal law in conflict with his own vested interests? Would Hillary Clinton have enforced federal law in relation to the aforementioned case? Numerous massive contributions to campaign finances from Wahhabi emirs on the Gulf strongly indicate that Hillary Clinton would not have acted against big oil. The autocrats were paying to play. Another disappointment in relation to the environment is that the Obama administration did not persist with it's funding to expand solar roadways technology. Worse still the use of thermodynamic panels has not expanded and it is not more widespread. Thermodynamic panels constantly produce energy above the temperature of minus forty degrees centigrade. America has an eighteen trillion dollar economy and access to this technology yet for all the Democrats rhetoric about saving the planet and inconvenient truths the inconvenient truth in that the Democratic Party's record on the environment has been that of a subservient slave to a Wahhabi cartel.

Taking huge political contributions from Gulf Council tyrants has massively hindered the Democratic Party's ability to deal with an active security threat to the United States of America and it's citizens. While there may be more violence from Puerto Rican nationalists, in their defence they want independence they do not want to impose their brand of far right theocracy on the everyone, there can be no doubt that the Wahhabi ideology can lead to mass murder of Americans. As previously stated Jimmy Carter's intervention in the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan created al Qaeda a group whose very name is synonymous with far right Wahhabi terror. Also Carter's Camp David accords led to Anwar Saddat being assassinated. This led to al Qaeda vowing to create an Islamic State. Bill Clinton's record on dealing with Wahhabi tyrants is little better. Bill Clinton got $600,000 from Saudi Arabia to give two speeches and got a gift of $1million from Qatar. Saudi Arabia funded a fifth of Hillary Clinton's election campaign. What is not widely reported is that while D'aesh split from al Qaeda during Bush junior's presidency is that during the Clinton administration an al Qaeda affiliate known as
Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad was formed. They would later achieve notoriety in the Iraq War and later on as D'aesh. Obama was as guilty as any recent Democratic president for coddling Wahhabi tyrants. Throughout his presidency Saudi Arabia was the top importer of American arms. Obama politically and militarily supported Saudi Arabia's backing of the Wahhabi coalition of al Qaeda, D'aesh and Ansar al Sharia in their genocidal slaughter of the people of Yemen. Do right wing Democrats think working class Americans want their tax dollars to back such hideous groups? Did they not get the message that al Qaeda and Ansar al Sharia are unpopular when the GOP kept screaming Benghazi over and over again? How did backing said nefarious characters in Libya, Syria and Yemen work out for the Democratic Party? The Democratic Party are afraid to call bigots engaging in Wahhabi violence by the name of radical Islamic terror so it follows that they do not have the gumption to stand up to the monarchical tyrants funding said terror. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran came about because Obama sanctioned Iran into it for the benefit of Wahhabi dictatorships and their allies. Deference to Medinat Yisrael's far right allies on the Gulf Cooperation Council clearly hinders America in it's ability to combat the real and often imminent threat of Wahhabi terrorism. Why did Barack Obama or any Democrats not condemn Benjamin Mileikowsky visiting an injured terrorist from Jabhat al Nusra, later known as Jabhat Fateh al Sham, in al Jawlan? Have they forgotten what people belonging to Jabhat Fateh al Sham's movement did on a certain Tuesday morning? It should be noted that organisation inspired bombings in New York during September last year and that eighty seven people in America have lost their lives to acts of Wahhabi terror during the last decade. That number jumps astronomically to three thousand and eighty two people if the last two decades are looked at. Democrats should stop taking money from fundraisers of terrorism if they are to survive as a political entity. They should also stop funding the allies of those who fund terrorism. In other words stop taking donations from GCC states and stop funding Medinat Yisrael.

Another thing the Democratic Party need to change, Justice Democrats are also guilty on this issue, is their disgusting attitude towards seventy two percent of the American people. It ought to be axiomatic that an Aryan majority country is not going to vote for a party that spews racist anti Aryan bovine excrement in numerous diatribes. The Democratic Party, especially the right wingers, need to realise their coddling of virulent anti Aryan bigots made the palaeoconservative alternative right Republican Party electable with the Trump/ Pence platform. Supporting and excusing overt racist bigotry from a number of non Aryan sources including activists of Black Lives Matter helped to make Donald Trump the president. This is a far cry from the days when Ted Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy and Philip Hart promising the American people that the ethnic demographic make up of the American population would not change with the Immigration Reform Act 1965. Embracing racists like Jehmu Greene, Richard Fochtmann and Symone Sanders while Sally Boynton Brown calls to unify the Democratic Party around shutting other white people down. The Chicago torture incident showed people the contempt the Democratic Party has for white people. Democrats were reticent to condemn this (Obama and BLM to their credit condemned it quickly), questioned whether it was a hate crime, certain individuals denied it was a hate crime and some said it was only a hate crime because the victim was disabled despite the fact he was clearly targeted on the basis of his complexion and the fact the perpetrators loudly announced their mens rea by shouting ethnic slurs. This is not the only time Democrats have been piss poor on the issue of race. Narrowing the charge against Samir Shabazz to an injunction and dismissing charges against the New Black Panther Party for their armed voter intimidation in Philadelphia whilst they shouted racial epithets was racist by Barack Obama's administration and Eric Holder's Justice Department. The United States Commission on Civil Rights found that there were
numerous specific examples of open hostility and opposition” to the Justice Department pursuing civil rights cases where white people were the victims of civil rights violations. Jim Webb is right when he told Tucker Carlson that the Democratic Party is unnecessarily focused on “interest group politics” and making the white working class a “whipping post”.Jim Webb also correctly pointed out that affirmative action is racist discrimination that excludes white working class people. He stated the obvious that even if white working class people are poor and hurting the Democrats will always inform said people that they are privileged based solely on their complexion and ethnicity. Webb stated that he believed in dignity and fairness and not “diversity” programs that exclude people for being white. Webb correctly pointed out that the white working class correctly perceive that the Democratic Party does not like them. Only twenty eight percent of Democrats think racism against white people is as big a problem as racism against black people and other groups of people. Seventy one percent of Democrats are openly racist and they don't think bigotry against white people is a problem. Worryingly the Mint Press News poll showed that only forty three percent of all Americans agree with the former and that fifty five percent, over half, are fine with the racist bigotry of the latter. Fifty seven percent of white Americans and fifty two percent of all Americans are correct to point out that the American way of life has mostly changed for the worse. This is another statement that is so obvious it should be axiomatic. It turns out enforcing Roe and Doe while implementing the policies of Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, Clinton, George W Bush and Obama made things worse. Who would have thought it(?) In the nineteen fifties working class Americans could earn living incomes, afford an education, afford a house, afford a car and afford quality health care coverage with their insurance plan due to pro working class policies of the New Deal. This was at a time when America cared about it's people. This was a time when working class American children were not killed for profit margins in abattoirs. Yet the idiots who chipped away at the New Deal ought to be celebrated, according to malevolent elites, because they implemented bullshit half a loaf concessions to narrow socially liberal causes. What the elitist right wingers of the Democratic Party have to realise is that pushing Richard von Coudenhove Kalergi's Practical Idealism is not helping them but that it is rather effective murder weapon for those who seek to kill off the United States Democratic Party for good. This would be a shame as it is the second oldest political party in the world having been founded in 1790 with only the British Conservative and Unionist Party being older with the Tory Party being founded in 1678. On the Democratic Party's promise of the 1965 Immigration Reform Act not changing the racial demographics of the United States they have broken said promise. White Americans have went from being 88.6% of the population to 72.4% despite increasing their numbers by over 130 million. Black Americans have only increased their share by 2% in the same period and natives have tripled their share from 0.3% to 0.9%. Hispanics have quintupled their numbers and despite their people generally having a pro life outlook that is not all natural population growth. Asians share has increased tenfold from half a percent to five. The point is clear there is a strong positive correlation between immigration and demographic change in the United States of America. Promoting and aggressively pushing identity political agendas of other groups not only alienates white working people from the Democratic Party but it has also provoked and resulted in a deserved Caucasian identitarian backlash that was a long time coming. A party cannot on the one hand advocate for and promote the = National Council of La Raza (The Race in the Castillan language) and Black Lives Matter but on the other hand state loudly and clearly that American Renaissance, National Policy Institute and New Century Foundation are beyond the pale ideologically. Either all identitarianism and identity politics is beyond the pale ideologically or all identitarianism and identity politics is socially and politically acceptable. It is racist hypocrisy to say the identiarianism and identity politics should be encouraged for certain groups but it should be discouraged and opposed from one certain group. This racist hypocrisy has permeated to such a great degree that if you replace the words white male with the words Ashkenazim Jew then numerous articles and blogs of social justice warriors, the fake new left and Democratic Party supporters read like racist propaganda from Nazi Germany. While Democrats are quick to jump up to defend those they call people of colour far too few Democrats defend the white working class and when they do it is hesitant and apologetic. Is it any wonder white working class Americans don't flock to the polling stations to vote Democrat like they used to when said Democratic Party is openly and overtly hostile to them, their interests and their aspirations? Why should people vote for a party that wants to diminish said people's influence in their country and a party that is truculent towards them and towards the economic policies that would benefit said people?
