Time to Put the Democratic Party on Suicide Watch?

A week ago this was recognized as a fringe idea even among staunch Democrats, the fringiest fringe around, but then something happened: One Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shocked the Democrat establishment by defeating the favored 20-year incumbent, House Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.), in last Tuesday’s Democrat primary in New York’s 14th district. She ran, in part, on abolishing ICE, so now this has become the “[n]ew rallying call for 2020 Democrats,” as the AP put it.

Now, I really shouldn’t say this — I mean, I really shouldn’t. I want nothing more than for the Democrats to continue marching toward their cliff, but, alas, honest commentary is my bag. And here’s reality: If you leftists think avowed socialist Cortez’s win had mainly to do with abolishing ICE, you’re putting your electoral chances on ice. Cortez won, largely, for a simple reason.

Bigotry.

She had the right profile: a young, female, Hispanic in a district 70 percent non-white — a figure no doubt even higher among its Democrat electorate — and in which the incumbent was a wizened old white fellow (Crowley is 56 and looks 66). It helped that she’s attractive and articulate, but she shamelessly played the group-identity card, too, sending a message that no one should vote for an old white male. She even retweeted the picture of an attorney who expressed the sentiment that “all white people are racist.”

The Washington Post pointed this phenomenon out, by the way, running a Wednesday article titled “The worst thing to be in many Democratic primaries? A white male candidate.” The paper writes, “Democratic voters have been picking women, racial minorities, and gay men and lesbians in races around the country at historic rates.”

Seriously, I honestly think Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is good for America. Actually, I think she needs to run for prez next time around. This sweetie makes Hitlery look good. (barf) We need to get this total destruction leftist crap out in the open so all can see. This would give Trump one of the biggest landslides ever.

I am wondering if that is best. The more these POS get exposure the more they influence the lowest of the lowest.

Sure. I’ll watch. Glad to.

That’s what is happening. They’ve crossed the tipping point of bigoted minorities taking control of the party and only attracting the same kind.

If you’re a straight white male and still vote Dem...what are you doing?? As they see what is going on they will walk away, along with their spouses. Yet the DNC is, apparently, too stupid to understand this.

It’s a death spiral. I would have never guessed this would be happening a few years ago. This is the result of their identity politics.
