An Editorial Opinion
I am a registered independent voter. I have been voting as an independent since 2001. I vote for presential candidates who earn my vote, based upon pocketbook, law and order, homeland security, and national defense issues of importance to me.
I am a social moderate, fiscal conservative, and hawk on national defense. I do not believe in living, working, and slaving on any political party's plantation.
This message is directed to the National Democratic Party. It’s time for some straight talk.
By choice or happenstance, you are leaderless right now! As a result, very bad things are happening in America and around the world.
You are on the verge of extinction as a national political party. Your favorability rating is lower than the ones assigned to used cars salesmen/women and child molesting televangelists. You have clearly lost your way.
Your cadre of national leaders has absolutely no credibility with a majority of the American people. Your political agenda is outdated in the era of Trumpism and MAGA politics.
Bill Clinton is a washed-up Jeffrey Epstein party pal and a version 1.0 grifter. He is toxic. Hillary Clinton, his wife, is toxic, as well . She needs to go somewhere and pray for her husband.
Barack Obama has a political target on his front and back. In today's world, Obama has very little political juice. Republicans have successfully painted Obama as a “DEI president” in the midst of the raging "anti-DEI" shitstorm they have created.
Joe Biden is old, senile, and forgettable. Please escort him out of the public’s eye. The country is still trying to figure out who was running the White House during Biden’s presidency.
Kamala Harris blew her chance to become a national party leader when she refused to prosecute a single one of the 40 Catholic priests in the San Francisco diocese who sexually abused children for decades. Along with Biden, Harris also birthed, aided, and abetted Benjamin Netanyahu’s campaign of genocide and war crimes in Gaza.
Today, Israel's campaign of genocide and starvation in Gaza is "Kryptonite" to every well-meaning politician in Washington. If this statement makes me "anti-Semitic," so be it.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer lost his credibility a long time ago. Schumer’s political tombstone should have been erected in March 2025 when he supported Trump’s controversial spending bill (a/k/a the “Continuing Resolution”) to fund the government. President Donald Trump punked him out.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is a nice, articulate guy, but he is as weak as wet toilet paper. Plus, Jeffries was in the chorus of party leaders who said Biden was as sharp as a tack.
None of these individuals can lead the National Democrat Party to victory in the 2028 presidential race. They are too weak, tarnished, compromised, aloft, and/or disliked by a majority of Main Street Americans. Democrats need a fresh face and a new political focus.
If I were a Democrat with aspirations to run for president in 2028, this would be my political message:
We have done enough for Israel. In them, we have created a welfare state that has evolved into a terrorist nation and a purveyor of genocide.
We will shun AIPAC's campaign money. No longer will a presidential nominee from the Democratic Party drop to his/her knees to perform political fellatio on an unhinged Benjamin Netanyahu and his AIPAC lobbyists in America.
We shall focus primarily on pocketbook issues. We will support those measures that put money into the pockets of Main Street Americans and not those that take money out of their pockets.
We shall let the Republicans take care of the wealthiest 1% of Americans and serve as apologists for an army of rich, powerful, and politically connected Jeffrey Epstein pedophiles. We will take care of the other 99% of Americans and advocate for justice for all major crime victims, without apology.
We shall make sure every person and corporation pays his/her/its fair share of income taxes.
We shall support federal, state, and local police departments with adequate funding and much needed legal protections for police officers. No person who assaults and seriously injures a police officer will be pardoned by a Democrat president.
We shall support and protect American consumers from the tsunami of Trump-inspired rip-off schemes in retail marketing and sales practices.
We shall end the hundreds of billions of dollars each year in corporate welfare (i.e., generous taxpayer subsidies) for Wall Street firms.
We will ensure that federal prosecutors administer criminal justice to child molesters, child rapists, child pornographers, and sex traffickers, without regard for their socio-economic status and/or political affiliation.
We shall resurrect the U.S. Department of Education and award financial support to state and local school systems, particularly those that are located in rural areas and inner cities.
We will restore Trump's cuts to Medicaid and other "safety net" programs.
We will treat our allies with dignity and respect, while subjecting our enemies to iron fist treatment.
Democrats should not try to be all things to all people. The Hollywood crowd, big-name entertainers, customary political hustlers, and fringe groups cannot get your nominee elected as president. Likewise, Democrats must evolve into a bona fide alternative to Donald Trump and his MAGA cult and not merely a kinder, gentler version of them.
Democrats must stop being weak-kneed political punks. Nobody respects a punk.
If Democrats cannot do these simple things, they will collapse as a national political party immediately after the 2028 presidential election.
I agree with you that the Democratic Party is on the verge of extinction. Their lagging ability to halt the President lawless action allows irreparable harm to thousands and millions of the poor and vulnerable Americans.
Sit by idly and watch the president dismantle Medicaid, food assistance, and shutting down the education department in amidst of an economic tsunami crisis is preposterous.
Cuts in Medicaid mean millions of low income Americans elderly and disabled will no longer be insured. It also mean closing of hospitals and nursing homes especially in rural areas..
There has to be action on the part of the Democratic Party to prevent further erosion in government. If steps aren't taken now, I fear it'll be to…
So that we are clear, I do not have a warm place in my heart for people who commit genocide and war crimes against babies, infants, children, women and men, or those who use the starvation of children as a weapon of war, or those who welcomed and embraced known child molesters, child rapists, and child pornographers as their friends. I have NO exceptions to these personal conduct rules.
