Should the American voters return the Democratic Party to political supremacy , the voters - not hopelessly devoted to YOU - will quickly feel the Obama 2008 shock of disappointment. To be sure the Obama years and the Clinton years were not a golden age of traditional liberal " progressivism ". What Ralph Nader in the Green Party and certain enduring socialist parties have said for years is true enough if not absolutely TRUE : the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are just the left and right wings of Corporate America.
Here in Rhode Island the corruption of the Democratic Party -which sent David Cicilline to Congress, the voice of the HATE TRUMP , HATE RUSSIA, New McCarthyism - is Darkness Visible corruption. Governor Gina Raimondo - daily puffed up as a political wizard in the FAKE NEWS media- is LEADING the attack on the elderly , the poor, the mentally ill , the homeless. The elderly medical patients dependent on state funded rides ( a contract with a despicably irresponsible FOR PROFIT company ) have been left stranded for hours in waiting rooms or have walked home in freezing cold weather ) .
. Many poor families could not get the SNAP benefits to which they were entitled by law. School kids in Warwick are SHAMED if their lunch bills accumulate. Yes, the Democratic Party has made Rhode Island a worker's paradise. It has as much heart as Stalin's Russia.
For all this visible corruption the Democratic Party is an ideological mess . It clearly hopes to channel the fan club adulation of some two dozen presidential hopefuls into support for THE CANDIDATE nominated by the party next summer.
A Trump landslide will leave them all apoplectic for many years .
