Ignorance and incompetence are sweeping through America…

… and you Blue Dog Democrats should cut it out. You’re being ridiculous.

America in November 2016 faces a great peril. Across this land forces of stupidity and superiority, the idea that one people is better than another, is firmly entrenched in its love of power and is willing to bring the entire world crashing down at its feet rather than recognize that we are all equal, to respect the rule of law, and be true to the traditions of American democracy.

I refer, of course, to Blue Dog Democrats.

Trump has been elected. He hasn’t actually done anything since then other than make a perfectly acceptable speech and take his call for banning Muslims off his website. I fully expect mischief and foul play from Trump with a Republican congress, but it hasn’t happened yet. So, there is nothing to protest, yet. Hold your fire.

Meanwhile, Obama is reportedly getting ready to try to pass TPP in the lame duck session. That is something to protest. He could with a stroke of a pen stop the pipeline in North Dakota. He isn’t.

We should right now be protesting Obama, not Trump.

Obama had a majority in both houses in 2008. There was a financial crisis. This situation should have called to mind 1933, if not on such a grand scale. Crisis offers an opportunity for reform. This was the moment when the Democrats could show the people that they are the party of working families. Instead, Obama and the DNC passed the TARP bailout to help their friends at Citibank and Goldman Sachs and pushed Obamacare so as to not bring down the stock prices of the health insurance companies while claiming to have done something about health care.

Because Obama blew it then and showed his hand, that he was a bank employee and not the president of the United States, the Democratic Party went into 2016 in a weak position. If the party had been loyally with the people and aggressively against banks, there would be no chance of any Republican beating any Democrat in 2016.

The Democrats had a chance to make up for Obama never being a leader and never representing the people who elected him, instead preparing to get a big check from Michael Froman at Citibank now that he is out of office (which hopefully Wikileaks messed up). That chance was called Bernie Sanders. Instead of embracing Bernie, the pro-banker faction of the party stole the nomination he actually won from him to put out a candidate who was clearly a criminal.

The leadership of this party is as bad as any leadership of any party ever in the history of the world. When your leadership is this bad and you are a member of that party, it is your duty to turn on your leadership immediately. But Blue Dogs are not.

If you are a Democrat or lean left, you should protest Obama on TPP. You should demand Donna Brazile resign. You should demand that Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Keith Ellison be party leaders in congress and Tulsi Gabbard and Nina Turner get key roles at the DNC. If you don’t, if you let these clueless corrupt drifters continue to run the party into the ground, it will be harder to oppose Trump.

Do not yell at your friends who didn’t support Hillary. She’s gone now. Forget her. Get over Obama. They both suck. Good riddance. We who knew that, who told you that Hillary was not going to fly are telling you now to do something about this DNC catastrophe.

You should start listening to the people who have been consistently right, us, the left. We offered you a great candidate that would have stopped Trump, and probably given the Democrats majorities in both houses again. Bernie.

The leadership is terrible. Abandon them. Join us Berners in demanding popular programs for the people. No tolerance for corruption.

The truth has been here right there on the Wikileaks website. That was true BEFORE the DNC convention. Hillary should have been yanked out the position in July. I said so then. She cheated.

You ignored us then. You are ignoring us know.

Blue Dog, you gave us Trump. We told you so.

Blue Dog. No TPP. Obama is no progressive. He’s not honest. He’s not good.

No pipeline. No pardon.

The most dangerous force in the American politics is not Trump and his supporters, not right now. It’s Blue Dogs who just got the biggest slap in the face possible and still didn’t wake up.

Blue Dogs: world’s best sleepers. Also, stop feeling sorry for yourself and crying. Did you cry for us when you stole the nomination and treated our elected delegates like shit in Philly in July?

What will it take to wake you Hillary Blue Dogs up? She’s a criminal. Stealing elections is not okay. Bankers out. The people need stuff. We want education and health care and not a criminal talking out the side of her mouth about education and health care or a smooth dancer pretending to be a progressive.

You are just a member of the Democratic Party. Not a leader. You can’t be blamed for the corruption and failure of the past. But if you enable this group of losers to stay in power in the party, you are preventing the unified opposition to Trump and guaranteeing that you will lose for 20 or 30 years.

You lost the young with Hillary. No awake person could be “with her.” If you were, wake up now. That fight is over and you lost. If you can’t admit you were wrong, at least stop making the same mistakes you made before.

Just beacuse something looks official or powerful, doesn’t mean anything. CNN can be completely and totally full of shit and some guy on a blogging platform or some wierdo hiding in an embassy can be right.

Obama looks nice. But maybe he sucks. Possible?

Maybe it’s good that Bernie doesn’t comb his hair.

Obama is a loser. Hillary was a loser. The DNC are all losers. They like bankers and money. That’s all they like.

Losers lost. Bankers are against the people. We don’t want Goldman Sacks and Citibank to pick the cabinet. We aren’t down with them.

Now try some winners. We want the Bernie Sanders positive agenda. Join us, don’t prop up crooked insiders.

You’re being ridiculous.

Last line in the dialogue below from July 25, 2016 on the eve of the convention, “Trump will win. I garauntee it.” Conventional wisdom didn’t work then. Sticking with unimaginative leaders like Obama failed then. Why not try something other than losing, a new strategy?

Should have yanked Clinton before the convention when the DNC Wikileaks dropped. But… we don’t do that… we don’t change our plan… just because… new evidence emerges… we bury our heads in the sand… silence the critics… and continue forward… and VERY IMPORTANT people say that this is the way we should be and… we always do that…

And it didn’t work. Try rolling with events as they emerge. Try facing the truth and dealing with it as best you can and not trying to use your media connections to bury the truth known as Wikileaks.

Democracy is messy. You cleaned up your convention for TV. No one under 30 watches TV.

It was a nice show.

It was a show.

And you lost.

And you deserved to lose.

And yes we don’t think Hillary was better than Trump.

But that’s history.

We still don’t think the DNC is better than Trump.

So you will lose again in two years.

You won’t reform.

You will lose again in four years.

You will call us wild eyed radicals and say an old socialist isn’t serious or that Nina Turner only served in the state government or some other stupid thing.

And you will lose forever.

There aren’t enough of us to win, us progessives. We need a coalition with you Blue Dogs. But you have to let our guys run things.

No more getting rich off politics. No more Barney Franks.

None of those kind anymore.
