The Democrat party has moved far left in the last decade ... to a point that would be unrecognizable to the party of JFK or even Bill Clinton. It's as though George Soros has tattooed his manifesto on the donkey's rump. However, not all recent Blue candidates are using this manifesto as their platform because the smarter ones realize that it is a loser. But, once elected if elected, Nancy Pelosi tells them how to vote.
The question becomes then, how much of this Democrat manifesto will be visible in the next presidential election and maybe even in this Fall's midterm elections? But be mot mistaken, this is the guts of their agenda. So let's get on to what this manifesto contains:
- Single-payer healthcare
- World government
- Destroy the U.S. coal industry
- Increase third-world migration into America
- Higher income taxes (to redistribute wealth)
- Sanctuary cities and states
- "Strategic patience" (passive foreign policy)
- Open national borders
- Nuclear disarmament or at least unilateral reduction
- Crony capitalism
- Promoting Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA
- Mote government transfer payments (welfare)
- Fewer illicit drug laws and lesser punishments ("sentencing reform")
- Facilitation of illegal voting
- Weaker military
- Removing Civil War (and other historic) statues
- Free higher education
- Diversity quotas and more "inclusion" of hyphenated Americans
- Nullifying the Second Amendment
-Taxpayer funded abortion and birth control
- Free but not necessarily fair (multilateral) trade
- Carbon taxes and much tighter emissions standards
- "Green" energy production at the expense of fossil fuels
- More government regulations
- LBGTQ and transgender rights advocacy
- Suppression of "offensive" speech
This list is not by a long shot comprehensive ... and they are not all excessively malignant ... but. taken as a whole, they would "fundamentally transform" this country ... if we survive at all.

The Republican party has moved far right in the last decade ... to a point that would be unrecognizable to the party of Eisenhower or even George Bush. It's as though the Koch brothers and Steve Bannon have tattooed their manifesto on the elephant's rump. However, not all recent Red candidates are using this manifesto as their platform because the smarter ones realize that it is a loser. But, once elected if elected, Mitch McConnell tells them how to vote.
What we really need is a Moderate Party to emerge with the moderate manifesto. Somewhere between appeasement and unprovoked invasion of a foreign country. Somewhere between too much admin and throwing out the rule books. Somewhere between Blue and Red. The Purple Party.
Is this a form of flattery?
So, we should fight a 4-alarm fire with a seltzer bottle?
In a way. It just points out that polarization tends to produce two opposite yet mirror images.
I don't know where you see a 4-alarm fire. If it is John Bolton itching for war--any fresh new war--and the POTUS gyrating around with 'his military' and jabbing at world leaders, I smell smoke already.
