    The Democratic Party is an Opposition Party

    The Democratic Party is an opposition party. Unfortunately, they are in opposition to the People. Every chance they get, the Democratic Party establishment fights to overrule the will of the People in any way they can manage. In their 2016 primaries, that meant an aggressive superdelegate system wherein party officials could determine the majority of delegates awarded to a primary candidate before any votes were even cast, as they did in New Hampshire where Bernie Sanders beat Hillary Clinton by a margin of 60-37 but ended up with only 1 more delegate than she did. Colorado was another example, Hillary beat Bernie by only 1.4% but ended up with 21 more delegates than he did.

    Now, the Democratic Party is pulling this charade again. The complete debacle that was the 2020 Iowa caucus is rolling to the end of its third day and they've still only released about 80% of the results. The more results come out, the more people have been challenging their accuracy, to the point that even Joe Biden's campaign has questioned the results, and the Iowa Democratic Party has already had to make more corrections due to inaccuracy. There was clear video of some of the caucus rooms where one caucus worker flipped a coin to determine whether Bernie or Pete Buttigieg received delegates, and he could be clearly seen flipping the coin to Buttigieg's side after it clearly landed on Bernie's. Mike Bloomberg's entire existence in the 2020 primary has been clearly designed to try and force a brokered convention so the Party establishment can force their preferred candidate (either Bloomberg or Buttigieg at this point) in, now that Bernie has been pulling ahead in most of the races.

    Democratic Party leaders love to make a good show of being on your side, like Pelosi's cutesy tearing up of Trump's speech at the conclusion of last night's SOTU, but behind those TV-ready displays is a complete and total lack of any actual substance. The Democratic Party doesn't give two $#@!s about the People, they only care about maintaining power.
    "Those who produce should have, but we know that those who produce the most — that is, those who work hardest, and at the most difficult and most menial tasks, have the least."
    - Eugene V. Debs (1855-1926), five-time Socialist Party candidate for U.S. President

    They are an embarrassment for sure. I don’t know what has happened to them.
    I am tired of everyone fighting with each other. This is all by design.

    Its refreshing to have someone be candid and honest, that kind of honesty deserves the same in return. I give partisan hacks, partisan hackery in return

    The republican Party is not for the people either and there is no doubt they are the party the rich very much prefer and profit from.

    I come from a family of democrats and I was a union democrat for many many years. This is not the democrat party of then, this new thing that is the democrat party has gone so far overboard in a variety of directions it makes everyones head spin.

    They have gone so are extreme on a variety of issues they have made the republican party look mainstream, moderate and the party to look to for normalcy.

    I talk to many lifelong democrats that cant stand this far left agenda any more than I can

    Yanno what the proof of that is Green Arrow, that Donald Trump got elected President in the first place and that he has a better chance of re election today than he did 2 yrs ago. That should say it all to the democrat party.

    They are cutting their own throats screwing their own candidates and manipulating results. They may wind up with large block pissed off and refusing to vote....like Bernie Bros

    But the worst thing they are doing to themselves is catering too and allowing a handful of total whackjobs to push their narrative and get all the media attention.

    The Dems are lurching dangerously to the radical left. I don't think they will have the votes to win in 2020 - America isn't ready for that-yet. But perhaps they will soon.

    I expect a lower than normal Dem turnout in 2020.

    IMO I would like to see a third party which embraces some of the republican and democrat platforms; the two parties have become so polarized that nothing positive can be accomplished. A strong third party could possibly bring America back together again as a united country.
    God Bless America, God Bless our Military and God Bless the Police who defended the country against the insurgents on January 6, 2021

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    "Its refreshing to have someone be candid and honest".

    Greenie, and I have come to a mutual respect. Knowing that we will have different views on things but could talk and probably compromise.
    I am tired of everyone fighting with each other. This is all by design.

    Cool story bro, but you will still vote for whoever the Democrat Party candidate is.
