To Liberate the American Left, We Must Dismantle the Democratic Party

Pay attention to the gap between the things people say about themselves (and others) and what they actually do. 

Beyond all the liberal cant of the Democrats, there are things they support (like genocide in a distant land or the policing of the poor at home) that are, by any sane measure, antidemocratic. 

The Democratic Party FUNCTIONS in our two-party system as a check upon Leftist politics. 

It has made itself USEFUL to the Republicans and the military-industrial-complex to which both parties are ultimately beholden by reassuring the system that no expensive proposals like universal healthcare or free education will ever be seriously considered by our elected "representatives." 

In so doing, it has virtually guaranteed the Pentagon (and the Israelis and NATO, etc.) an open check-book for all of their murderously destabilizing adventures. 

I have nothing but words with which to challenge the Duopoly, so that is what I will use.

Occasionally, someone like Luigi Mangione will take up arms against a symbolic figure.

Neither words nor assassinations will bring about the desired result. 

But if history is any guide, sooner or later, enough people who are, at present, anxiously chewing the cud, will be roused to action. 

When that happens...We shall see...
