The DNC is our democracy’s new WMD — Weapon of Mass Destruction.
For months, maybe years, they have disgracefully promoted Joe Biden, with full knowledge that he needed to be shielded because of his declining health, both mental and physical. He was protected by his inner circle, with few public appearances, no press conferences. All the while with him as the lone viable candidate on the Democratic primary slough.
The party platform was weak as well. “Let’s trumpet fighting against Hitler 2.0 and for women’s reproductive rights. And, just as an added carrot, we have the courts to come after Trump, so that after he’s convicted, the GOP will be in utter disarray with their champion disgraced and hopefully behind bars.”
That didn’t work out so well, did it, DNC? Just like America’s failed search for Saddam Hussein weapons of mass destruction, which was the excuse to launch a full-scale war in Iraq, the DNC — for years— has been on its own fools’ errand. They have failed to develop a bench, abandoned any mass-appealing platform planks and proved themselves as enablers rather than coal mine canaries.
Now, we are faced with all kinds of slings and arrows, directed at our attempt to save this democracy from MAGA. I can’t wait to learn what the DNC‘s strategy is now. Whatever it is, I probably won’t be believing that it will be a sound one. Like our disastrous, multi-trillion-dollar Iraq War, which claimed thousands of GIs, the DNC has us in perilous, uncharted territory.
