Why the Democratic Party is its own worst enemy?
The Democrats continue to be the party of the status quo. Democratic voters who are progressive have become tired of paying for high rent. They are tired of hearing promises but continued failure. They want a future where you shouldn't be bankrupt through a medical bill. They want a future where religion isn't a litmus test to why a person should run for office. They want a future where our lawmakers aren't in unison of sympathy for a foreign country.
They want the Democratic Party to stop being conservatives.
Maybe there should be a serious third party where candidates can run on a platform.
The Democrats can't be the "Vote Blue No Matter Who" or No Matter What."
The Democrats should have a strong message.
"REBUILD THE COUNTRY FROM THE BOTTOM UP!"
"IF YOU WANT MOVEMENT WE MUST PROVIDE MOVEMENT!"
"WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF US?"
These are some of the things I hope to get to the Democratic Party. Alas, they do not listen to me.
Last year, I got a call from a Democratic-aligned focus group asking me about then Ohio senator Sherrod Brown, former president Joe Biden and the Democratic Party in general.
They asked me how I feel and would I vote in the general. I told them of course I am going to vote in the 2024 election. But I am very disappointed with the president and the senator for supporting Israel. I directly stated that if Biden didn't end his support of Israel, he could lose.
Well here we are.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is an ineffective House Minority Leader. He cannot get the party on board when it comes to fighting Trump and ending support for Israel. |
Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic Party nomination for mayor of New York City and these establishment folks continue to denounce the win.
It's the lack of self reflection.
When Democratic voters supported a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza, former president Joe Biden and former vice president Kamala Harris ignore the concerns.
When Democratic voters said that age was an issue when it comes to Biden, the former president ignore them. The former president did not put up a fight and pretty much sold us out.
Progressives demanded a fight and what we got was a sacrificial goat.
I wanted Harris to win. But her support of Israel, her refusal to distance herself from Biden, her inability to listen to a person who lived in Palestine and the big money donors. It was a total let down. I almost wanted to stop blogging.
But then I realized that Trump and Vice President JD Vance are the perfect example of the United States in decline. I want to live to see our country take a nasty fall.
The party that wants to deliver on worker's rights, affordable childcare,women's rights, police reform and affordable healthcare were dealt blows by the Supreme Court and the Republican state legislature.
We allowed it to happen because we allowed Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema and John Fetterman's refusal to end cloture and vote by simple majority. They slowed down so much and Biden's legacy will be tarnished because of the genocide.
Mamdani is destroying the establishment. He paid attention to the economic needs of New Yorkers. He didn't shame or push celebrity endorsements like Harris, Biden or even Trump.
He literally sees the concerns to why Harris failed. Trump lied about lowering the prices and ending the war. He is still full steam ahead on a war with Iran, continuing the Gaza genocide and removing immigrants despite most of them being law abiding. A lot of his voters are betrayed.
Pay attention to economic needs and stop insulting our intelligence.
Zohran Mamdani, let's win this.
