    Glenn Greenwald: Democratic Party Has Collapsed As A National Political Force.....

    Greenwald should have mentioned that no matter what Demos with credibility are saying. The illiberals just wont listen.




    'The Intercept' founder Glenn Greenwald joins FNC's Tucker Carlson to discuss a piece he wrote arguing that the Democratic Party has "collapsed."


    He pointed to the losses Democrats have had in Congress, governorshps, and state-level elections and said the party was doubling down on past mistakes. He also noted that Republicans were one state house away from being able to pass a constitutional amendment. Greenwald said: "They are one statehouse away from enabling the Republilcans to call a constitutional convention by itself... So it is a party that has collapsed as a national political force in the U.S."


    "They're so obsessed with attacking Donald Trump and calling him all the names they called him during the election, talking about Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin, and Jill Stein, and everything else other than [why]."


    "Why did they lose? They lost because they favored policies from the 1990s, such as free trade, getting rid of restraints on Wall Street, having jobs go over-seas, and then they wonder why people in the Rust Belt with no economic future and economic anxiety, are abandoning the party in droves. And there is no attempt to examine that or even talk about it," he said.....snip~

    That's what the illiberals do with the Demo pundits out there telling it like it is. Doesn't matter who.....even Reich has tried to tell them. Even James Skullator Carville. All they hear is plastic bits Pelosi and Chucky Schumer.


    Btw you didn't think Cigar knew who Greenwald is, did ya?

    They can't even stand their own liberals, explaining it to them. So its automatic if it comes from the Right.

    The democratic party is a regional party now. And they control very few regions in the US. They can't win at the presidential level because the EC forces candidates to get broad base support. They can't win in most states for House and local reps because of Gerrymandering (the GOP had it in 2010 and likely will have it in 2020). In the Senate they are the most competitive. But some key issues get them all the time. Guns as one example.

    Now is the time to take them out. When they are all in disarray and into the deranged syndrome.

    The GOP needs to fix its own problems. People are turning independent. Especially the younger generations.

    The Dems will take themselves out.

    Glenn Greenwald: Democratic Party Has Collapsed As A National Political Force.....

    Has anyone noticed the in-fighting to see who's going to be the new leader of the DNC? They are eating their young over there.

    Democrats Prepare to Pick a DNC Chair



    More than three months after a presidential election that sent shockwaves through their party, Democrats are finally getting ready to settle on a new leader.


    On Feb. 25, over 400 members of the Democratic National Committee, the party's official apparatus, will gather at a hotel in Atlanta to select their new chair. The contest for the position has served as a soul-searching exercise for the party, as it continues to grapple with lost voters and its new minority status in Washington and around the country.


    But in the intervening months, the party's liberal base has started to form its own movement, without direction from the establishment. The inauguration of Donald Trump sparked a drumbeat of protests around the country, and newly formed groups are mobilizing constituents to engage lawmakers at town halls and in district and congressional offices.


    Now, those vying to lead the party are trying to keep up with this newly activated base. But the position will be determined not by activists but by the 447-member committee that makes up the official party. Candidates have been traveling around the country and participating in four DNC-sponsored public regional forums to secure commitments from members, who will vote on their selection at the party's winter meeting two Saturdays from now. The winner will need 224 votes.


    The apparent frontrunners represent something of a proxy campaign between the Obama coalition in the form of former Labor Secretary Tom Perez and the newer Bernie Sanders wing of the party, represented by Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison. Meanwhile, a fresh-faced Midwestern mayor, Peter Buttigieg, is making headway in calling for a new voice to lead the party in its rebuilding......snip~
