Fumigating the Democratic Party to Remove Carpetbaggers #DemExit

There are some contending we must abandon the Democratic Party because it's full of crooked carpetbaggers and ho's with no interest beyond their own.  The corporate world owns it now so dive, dive, dive.

What's become of the Democratic Party is a disgrace since we have always believed it aspired to be more than a second-rate version of the Republican Party.  There's no need to belabor how much the Democratic Party traded its values for shekels since Reagan after we have all seen it; some watched in amusement and others in deep mortification.

Why some regard that situation as a reason to abandon the Democratic Party to create another one is of no interest to us since quitting on a spiteful basis of that nature is not likely to accomplish anything and it's much better to restore the good name of the Democratic Party anyway.


Women feel deeply-insulted by the election but that was a large part of why Clinton lost anyway.  There was an artificial wave of feminism behind her and it made no sense when Clinton has never done anything of any significance for the benefit of women.  The lack of depth in those who supported Clinton was appalling but they were never really representing women anyway, only Clinton.

A significant number must have been reading Ithaka since they disappeared on the wind after the result came down.  Apparently at least some must have believed you really can change the outcome at the Electoral College if you're annoying enough.  The benefit of that is trying that again in the future is not likely and the only real progress comes in eliminating that travesty altogether.

You may have noticed that discussion stopped after the election was final also.  There's no follow-through in that lot and you saw the same in Clinton when she became a ghost after the initial result when she returned to backroom political skullduggery and money laundering.


Neither candidate came away from the election with a majority nor a mandate since neither attracted more than 25% of the electorate and fifty percent of us are so fed-up with the charade of these elections that we don't vote anymore.  The tendency from the Ruling Class is to dismiss us as ne'er-do-wells who are ignorant, unwashed, and brutish but the reality is we were horrified by the lack of knowledge in those who really did vote.  It's senseless to participate in something when an enormous number of those participating in it have no idea what they're doing.


I will vote again when the Democratic Party and the DNC stand up again for the principles but it's painfully obvious they do not do that now.  Fumigate that mess and make it right again.  Don't cut and run since that just hands it all over to a one-party system, the consequence of which is in the White House now.  When two parties are almost indistinguishable, elections aren't contests but elaborate deceptions.  This was one of the most elaborate and expensive ever and the result was an abysmal failure.

We can do better than that and this time we failed to do it.  You can bitch, whine, and moan all you like but there's only one doing anything substantive and that's Bernie Sanders with Our Revolution and his fervent advocacy for candidates who true to the party principles and are not beholden to corporate interests.  He's calling now and he has been for the party to unite, organize, and move forward.  He can stand tall while he does it since he's still the only real leader in the game and the only one who ever sounded like a President.


We have been Democrats all our lives and we're not bailing out because some conniving hypocrites crawled into the party and made it smell.  That only makes it incumbent on us to clean house and make things right.  Deep respect to Bernie Sanders as the only one lifting a finger to do something about it.

Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden have said they're in it for 2020 but that's irrelevant when they're only in it for themselves.  Both flipped for Clinton like camp-following hookers on military payday and we're only interested in those who work for the party and not just to satisfy their own opportunism.  Bernie Sanders is still the one.
