The Agenda That Dare Not Speak Its Name
WFB ^ | 17 Aug 2018 | Matthew Continettii

The Democrats have decided that agendas are overrated. Back in May, the party unveiled its "Better Deal" program, calling for expanded broadband access, an increase in the minimum wage, and paid family and sick leave. Voters didn't bite. So last month the Democrats came up with "For the People," which simplifies the platform to infrastructure spending, lowering health care costs, and draining the swamp.

Again, crickets.

What to do? Party leadership has declared that it's every cis-het man for himself. "We trust our candidates to know their districts and the challenges facing their communities better than anyone," House campaign chair Ben Ray Luján tells the New York Times. Translation: If you are Conor Lamb, run as a gun-friendly champion of the working class. If you are Rashida Tlaib, feel free to announce that you would vote against aid for Israel and to call for bi-nationalism that would end the Jewish State. Texas Democrat Colin Allred, following Hillary Clinton, says everyone should be able to buy into Medicare. Maine Democrat Jared Golden, following Bernie Sanders, says, "We need to move towards a universal health care system, like Medicare-for-all."

Democrats: "We're For The People!"
The People: "In what way?"
Democrats: "Shut up!"

Voters can’t handle the truth that the DINOs are Socialists that have been rejected for over 70 years

The truth, though, is that the Democrats do have an agenda. They just can't say it aloud. The reason Democrats seek power in 2018 is to obstruct President Trump wholly and without exception, to tie down his administration using the subpoena powers of a dozen committees, and ultimately to lay the groundwork for his impeachment. The Democratic grassroots expects nothing less.

Thanks Rummyfan. Socialism for the serfs, special privs for union goons and the single party ruling class; single payer with death panels and other rationing; open borders with no law enforcement on illegals; #metoo, unless the perp is a muzzie or homosexual pedophile; whimsy to replace rule of law.

In other words, Democrats are running like chickens with their heads cut off.

Gee, that's funny, because it's always democrat reps and Senators who ruin people's lives and communities more than anyone. And they do it every single time they get in power.

So candidates at the local level know how to run in their districts because they are... local.

BUT, the local American Citizens in those very same districts can not run their lives the way they wish because gigantic federal Central Commities know MUCH better how to run the lives of the local American Citizens because they are gigantic federal Central Commities one to two thousand miles away that know nothing of the local American Citizens.



And somehow these proglib comrats actually believe THAT will make normal American Citizens reject the President that lowered taxes, pushed employment to new all time higes and lit a bonfire under the American economie?



They actually believe that?

I can hear Bill Clinton say, “The era of Big Government is Over” like it was yesterday.

DRAINING THE SWAMP! Really.

No wonder they lost all credibility.
