The Democratic Party is the only major political party in America that remains committed to the most elemental idea of the American republic. It still stands for the fact that political power is temporarily apportioned by the will of the people through free elections. It is the only pro-democracy party in America.
Nearly two years have passed since a violent insurrection was incited by Donald Trump as part of a premeditated conspiracy to retain political power. He did this despite his having been fired by the will of the American people and replaced in the office of President of the United States
Two weeks from this Tuesday, the election of 2022 will be held all across America. The choice will set up the contour lines of the decisive 2024 election.
There has never been an assemblage of political candidates put forward by a political party in America that can compete with the Republican class of 2022. It is filled with a menagerie of unfitness and vice that ranges from the delusional to the criminal. Together, the candidates are a legitimate national security threat to the peace, prosperity and domestic tranquility of the United States. Yet, they seem poised to win. How is this possible? How is it possible that the party of Marjorie Taylor Greene, Herschel Walker and Dr. Oz could win an election? The answer is simple. Their opponents are members of the Democratic Party.
The Democratic Party of 2022 is America’s elitist party. It is snobbish, preening, arrogant and profoundly out of touch. It is a coastal party that disdains the values, dignity, integrity and ethic of millions of Americans who don’t have a college degree. The Democratic Party treats working class Americans with contempt. It has been observed that today’s Republican Party would sicken Ronald Reagan. It would. The more important question for the moment though is this: what would John F. Kennedy, Harry Truman and FDR think about today’s Democratic Party? Would they recognize it?
They would recognize their political party if they went to Ohio and saw the very best Democratic Party of candidate of 2022, Tim Ryan, talk and listen to a group of American workers.
