Fractures Within the Party?

-->

This past month has brought into clarity a couple of points about the party of compassion and empathy.  The first is, for the most part, they are as racist as anyone they call out as a racist.  The second, they are starting to come apart at the seams as those millennial freshman representatives in the “Squad” demand their voices become that of the entire party, or they won’t pay their dues.

The DNC has, for at least this century, been the party of identity politics.  It is funny how that is playing out in this primary season when one by one the people of color, or the people who claim to be people of color are cast aside for the septuagenarians who are attempting to represent the socialist movement as they believe it should be represented. 

From my outsider position, it appears to be along the lines of how Lenin sold the Communist movement, or how Hugo Chavez helped the people as he nationalized all the industry of Venezuela to consolidate wealth and power for himself.  Promise the world – gain the power – then do what is necessary to maintain that power.  All the while finding ways to enrich yourself and your family.

At this past week’s Democratic Presidential Primary debate, I am told the most interesting moments came at the end when Elisabeth Warren confronted Bernie Sanders and accused him of calling her a liar on National Television.  Oh, the irony.  Of course, the political opinion folks at Fox News were all over that, and how it appears that as the media arm of the DNC (the commenters on CNN and MSNBC) seem to be working off the destroy Sanders memo, where if you can’t challenge a candidate on his policies you must destroy him as a racist/sexist/homophobe. 

I must admit to feeling a bit like Alice in Wonderland as I watch Fox pundits point out the foolishness of Warren’s attack and how Bernie was unlikely to have told Fauxahontus a woman couldn’t win the Presidency.  So, who should a reasonable person believe, the socialist Bernie, or neo-socialist Liz?  While I am sure Bernie has told a whopper or two and has probably not fully embraced the woke culture of today we have on the other side Elizabeth Warren who has been caught claiming to be a Cherokee (allegedly to get hired by Harvard Law School), submitted someone else’s receipts to a cookbook called Pow Wow Chow, claimed to have been fired as a teacher for being pregnant, claimed her son went to public school and claimed we would have universal healthcare without raising taxes on the middle class.

Meanwhile, back in Bernie Sanders' camp; Project Veritas has released a video of one of Sanders' field agents claiming if Bernie is robbed of his rightful place at the top of the ticket he and his fellow socialist minions will burn Milwaukee to the ground, bringing a whole new meaning to the term “heated debate.”

For the rest of the field, it is almost like they are there just to see who is coming off the top rope in this political cage match.  Remember these are the people who vilify Trump as being mean and dividing the nation.  Curiouser and curiouser.
