Are the Left Finally Seeing the Democrats For What They Are? Part 5
In Part 5 of this 6-part series (for now), I respond to a different Democrat author, this one from Medium, who is showing strong signs of waking up to the true nature of the donkey in her midst. Part 1 is here; Part 2 is here; Part 3 is here; and Part 4 is here.
As before, this is an extrapolation of a comment of mine on that writer’s blog feed; and that writer’s stated points will be italicized and my responses will not be.
Without further ado and all that…
What Did Biden Leave Us?
The product of a party that is designed to fail and act as a willing useful tool in pushing this country further and further to the right and securing what will ultimately be, if it isn’t already, autocratic control.
Joe Biden is nothing but a failure.
Bingo. And thank you for not throwing accolades at him like too many on the Left are still doing. He did nothing for the American people. He was, as you said, a figurehead designed to fail.
Things got worse for the American working class in terms of economics, civil liberties, and war under his four years than our situation under Trump’s first four years. And this despite the fact that the latter was constantly portrayed in the liberal press as a vile Fascist and the Second Coming of Hitler — that is, when they weren’t accusing Putin of fulfilling that role for the convenience of escalating the war machine.
Funny how the Dems never accused a true maniac yet staunch U.S. ally like Netanyahu of the same thing, huh? Let’s not forget that shameful aspect of the Biden/Harris legacy that helped seal the fate of the party. It certainly cost them all the Arab voters in the important swing state of Michigan, and Harris stayed the course despite the warnings that community gave her if she did so.
Isn’t it interesting how Biden and Harris are more afraid of and loyal to the billionaire Zionists who run AIPAC than they are their working class voting base? But they’re supposed to be for the working class first and foremost, right?
Or are they just being “pragmatic” by always going with big money over the majority of the population? That certainly helps them stay in power, but how does that help us?
Is the fact that they sit in power instead of the other wing of the duopoly matter more than what they actually do for us? Do we, as the working class, treat presidential elections more like our favorite football team winning than the type of victory that will provide us with substantive material improvements to our lives?
Yet the Democrats insisted, yet again, that we overlook all of this and vote for Biden anyway, and then Harris after he was forced out of the race. About her: we need to consider that the Cackling Lady is part of his legacy too, having served as the VP of his administration, and should not be treated as an entirely independent player in the game.
And what did Biden end up doing? Giving us Trump instead of stopping him. And this was the second time that the party has done that by running a horrible corporate candidate who had no economic agenda for the American working class, but plenty in terms of austerity, censorship, war, and identity politics. In fact, you can consider this the third time if you count Harris as a separate instance than Biden himself.
Clinton, Biden, and Harris were all typical corporate establishment figures that Dem supporters morphed (in their own minds) as “competent” real world equivalents to Captain America or Wonder Woman… rather than the likes of fellow fictional luminaries like Lex Luthor or Maleficent.
When ready, move onto the finale of this series, where I conclude my responses to this particular writer.
