Democratic Party Fails

 

Post-Mortem

 

From what I've seen of the exit polls in terms of demographics, Trump's base experienced attrition, but that appears to have been compensated for by increased support among a variety of groups, including non-white college-educated voters (I confess I did not see that coming). 

Latino men moved 33 points towards Trump. 

Households earning less than $ 100K/yr. (Hillary Clinton's "deplorables"?) continued to shift in Trump's direction. 

Meanwhile, white women have remained among his most stalwart supporters (they know they can probably get an abortion if they need one). 

Given that Trump's share of the popular vote in 2024 was about the same as his share in 2020, and given that Harris's share under-performed Biden's, the defections from Trump's base did not benefit Harris--despite her attempts to woo them with the promise of appointing Republicans to her cabinet and campaigning with radioactive Liz Cheney. I'm guessing those voters sat this one out.

The Duopoly Is A Disaster

We all do what we have to do to live with ourselves. 

In my lifetime, my government has done a great many nefarious things, but this is the first time, that I know of, that it has actively facilitated a genocide. 

For me, this is not a political question that we can agree to disagree about. It is a moral question that demands a specific response: refusal to reward in any fashion the genocidaires. 

The duopoly is a disaster.

Where Things Stand

 By Matthew Cooke.

For democrats: that you arrived at the conclusion that Americans must vote for ethnic cleansing - to save ourselves from fascism - is the epitome of moral cowardice.

We're asked to forget that this U.S. backed campaign of terror is a sick, sociopathic war on children - one any normal, well-adjusted human being would never condone in a million years - not without the most powerful communications systems in the history of humankind, seized and controlled for the purpose of manufacturing consent.

Why is it happening - many people ask? The media doesn't answer, not with anything that makes sense. The answer would hurt shareholders.

War is empire's core business. It's been Biden's since he backed the savage invasion of Iraq as a senator, and helped spread lies about their imaginary WMDs, against the obvious concerns of the sane voices in his party, and mountains of evidence to the contrary. It's been America's core business since our founding.

Reality is staring us in the face: the standard bearer of the democratic party, our current president, and his heir-apparent, are tribal warlords.

And our two-winged aristocracy's unconditional support for an alt-right apartheid state is nothing more than a monstrous religious crusade to expand an outpost for our petro-military empire.

Any idea that once the election season is over it will be easier to mobilize resistance against Dick Cheney's chosen representative of empire is equally absurd. They campaigned with the Cheney's and bragged about our "lethal" military industrial complex. Their bosses.

The honest, obvious truth, that all democrats and republicans are struggling with -- as they're bombarded by propaganda on every channel, is the that neither wing of the billionaire / fortune 100-funded duopoly is remotely set up to help lead us toward a sustainable human future. They're off the rails.

And for republicans:

Trump's tell-it-like-he-is / lack of impulse control may be a welcome respite from a highly coached PR spokesperson for empire - he's everything you hate about democrats, times 1000.

Corrupt. Pandering. Irreligious. Elitist. Insincere. Disloyal. And an agent of chaos, division, and instability. He doesn't represent an opposition party. He's a conman who seized an opportunity given to him by neoliberals.

The only thing Trump is good for is feeding the fortune 100 financed, elitist media you hate -- that broadcasts 99.9% gossip, a sin, according to your holy book -- and keeps the 1984-worthy argument going between the left and right, limiting any outside information that would illuminate the stark truth.

Bush and Dick Cheney's massive unpunished war crimes, Netanyahu's Biden-Harris funded genocide, the vile contorting of "anti-Semitism" and Trump's big con -- are all so extreme, they're cartoon caricatures of evil.

You might laugh in horror, until you confront the latest hourly news from Gaza or Lebanon... Shame on us all.

Regardless of who wins this national election, we have our work cut out for us.

If we have any hope of retaining our humanity (the species and the quality) we're going to have to do everything we can to forge a third way -- a mass movement for:

- the breakup of monopolies

- abolishing billionaires

- a digital bill of rights

- mass DE-militarization from the federal to local level

- mass and rapid divestment from fossil fuels and the war machine that feeds it

- abolishing poverty as a whole which includes universal healthcare, reparations and housing for all

Or --- we can just keep clicking and feeding this weapon of mass distraction -- this infinite unwinnable argument between democrat and republican-- two sides of the same road to doomsday.

Ashes, Ashes, We All Fall Down

For some time now, I have sensed creeping Trump fatigue in the electorate. Only DT's hardcore fans want another 4 years of his narcissistic bombast, and that portion of the electorate has shrunk to cult-like proportions. It was all fun and games until Jan. 6, 2021. Then Reality set in. I suspect that many people who are currently telling pollsters that they support Trump won't bother to vote. So, even though they don't deserve it, the Dems should own this election--especially if they can get women and 20-somethings to the polls. But if 2016's "accidental President" manages to cobble together an Electoral College victory in 2024, it will be for reasons such as those described in this article. Either way, it's ashes, ashes, we all fall down.

Moral Decay

 

"The real moral decay of our society is illustrated in the way all mainstream political candidates can openly support war crimes currently being inflicted on people in the global south without being immediately removed from power. The way monstrous war criminals of past administrations can endorse a liberal candidate without causing self-proclaimed progressives to recoil from that candidate in horror. The way you can have the two viable candidates for the world’s most powerful elected position both pledge to continue an active genocide without instantly sparking a revolution."

American Liberals

The last item is really key to the psychology that underlies American Liberal politics. Libs want to feel good about themselves and about their country. Who doesn't? At the same time, however, they are unwilling to risk the negative consequences that may come from opposing the immorality of their own government and/or favorite politicians. 

So they put on their rose-colored glasses and tell themselves that the system is basically fair for all--it just needs a little tweaking. 

They shed a few crocodile tears while explaining that the Gaza genocide isn't really genocide because look how the Jews have been victimized in the past (a model non sequitur). 

They resort to the lesser evil argument and then change the subject by gushing over "the statement" Michelle Obama made with her outfit at the DNC. 

They order themselves another Starbucks latte and feel self-righteous about the stand they will be taking against the "vast right-wing conspiracy" when they mail in their ballots in November. 

They are the banality of evil personified.

Consider Where this Leaves the U.S.
