Socialism And The Demise Of The Democrat Party

Original Article

Posted By: Dodge Boy, 11/4/2025 8:30:05 AM

With Zohran Mamdani’s ascension in New York City, Bernie Sanders nearly capturing the Democrat presidential nomination in 2016 and 2020, and the rapidly expanding number of Marxist-indoctrinated candidates and elected officials, socialism—or its latest euphemism, “Democratic Socialism”—is now the dominant philosophical underpinning of the Democrat party. This is a philosophical capture that will not result in transforming the United States but in the fracturing and demise of America’s oldest political party.

The demise can't come soon enough. The party stopped being about democracy over a century ago. They can call it democratic socialism, but it's nothing but a Marxist organization.

It's largely Democrat policies that made New York City too expensive for most residents. But the population thinks even more Leftism will solve the problem. In reality it's like drinking more Kool-Aide laced with more toxins.

I am no so sure. There is to much love of socialism in our population (Not having experienced it) that it may actually make the Democrat party dominate the political spectrum.

For someone who hates capitalism and loves communism, Bernie Sanders certainly has done well under the weight of capitalism. I suspect Mamdani and his family are guilty of same. Hypocrisy? Oh yeah.

If the 'Rats had run honest primaries, Crazy Bernie (who was an 'Independent' to avoid paying the 'Rat party dues until he wanted to use the 'Rat party machinery and run in the 'Rat primaries) would have been the 'Rat nominee in 2016. The 'Powers Hidden behind the Green Curtain' stuffed him that time, instead installing the HildeBeast as the 'Rat candidate. Crazy Bernie tried again in 2020..... and again would have won, but again the 'Powers Hidden behind the Green Curtain' manipulated the process and 'stuffed' him again, this time selecting 'One Percent Joe' -the HairSniffer himself, the Dimmest Bulb in the Senate- as the 'Rat candidate. That time the 'Rat Powers outdid themselves, not only corrupting the 'Rat primary, but also conjuring up FIVE MILLION BALLOTS (Ballots, not Votes) -more than any other Presidential candidate in history, before or since- to install the HairSniffer in the Oval Office. We all lived through the Disastrous results, and the mess that President Trump is working to clean up. I am reminded of the words of a French observer who said, I think in the late 1800's, that: "The American Republic would endure until the bulk of the population figured out that they could vote themselves free money from the National Treasury." That process began with the 'Rats 1965 'Great Society' welfare laws, and is continuing today. The Federal government is $38,000,000,000,000 in debt, and a Dollar now buys less gold than a Penny did in 1964. Can the situation be saved? Let us Hope So! The alternative is Worldwide Catastrophe!

Charlie Kirk and Cancel Culture 0 replies

The public exposure campaign against those who expressed malignant delight in the public execution of Charlie Kirk has prompted the usual facile harangues against “cancel culture” from the typical cast of tripe merchants. These characters are astonished that their stock of free speech clichés has been found inadequate to address the fact that several thousand Americans found it perfectly acceptable to relish the murder of a 31-year-old father of two, simply because he held the political beliefs of the median Republican voter.

In 1776, American colonists, despairing that their rights as British citizens were being trampled upon by their overbearing king, George III, decided to secede from the British Empire. Thomas Jefferson wrote down their grievances in the Declaration of Independence. Just a few of them include the cutting off of trade, imposing taxes without consent, depriving the people of trial by jury, suspending colonial legislatures, and waging war on the colonists. [snip] In 2025, there are rumors that we may yet see another civil war.

One never knows for sure beforehand, but I think Charlie Kirk’s assassination may be something of a tipping point in American politics and culture, or, at a minimum, an inflection point. Why? Because Charlie wasn’t a radical, he wasn’t a firebrand, he wasn’t a bomb thrower… No, Charlie was—in a relative sense—a lamb. And now, that lamb has been slaughtered.
Why the Democrats Really, Really Hate
RFK Jr.

Posted by Dodge Boy 9/9/2025 10:53:09 AM Post Reply
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has become the rare figure who draws as much raw hostility from Democrats as Donald Trump ever has. That fact alone is remarkable. Democrats once celebrated Kennedy as the scion of a legendary political dynasty. They now treat him as a menace to society. His break from the blue ranks last year, and the populist movement he has built, mirrors Trump’s earlier rebellion against establishment Republicans. That similarity explains why both men are uniquely loathed by Democratic insiders. The fury stems not just from Kennedy’s decision to leave the Democrat party, but from how he left.

On Tuesday, President Trump took umbrage at a question about the Justice Department’s assertion that there are no Epstein tapes, there is no client list, and there is nothing more to be released. The Twitterverse has been brutal towards AG Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and his #2, Dan Bongino. Many people were saying they felt betrayed, given the fact that, before the election, we were told that the files would be released and the criminals held to account.

It seemed fitting that President Jimmy Carter’s state funeral took place only days before President Trump’s second inauguration. Carter has often been described as one of the nation’s worst executives — a pejorative epithet now firmly attached to President Biden’s name as well. So it was painfully symbolic for the lost and confused outgoing president to eulogize his often-disparaged predecessor. One could be forgiven for wondering whether, at the end of his remarks, Old Joe might try to scooch Jimmy’s body to one side and join him in the casket. Both literally and figuratively, we buried two terrible presidents this January.

As Barack Obama slowly fades from the landscape, let’s consider how he has helped to destroy Western civilization, especially the United States of America. He did this via his fealty to Iran, which allowed unchecked, deadly drug trafficking into America while giving Iran the time, space, and funds to develop its nuclear weapons. The Obama Administration killed hundreds of thousands of Americans by allowing the Iran-founded and funded terrorist organization Hezbollah to operate in the Western Hemisphere, where it built a narco-terror network that shipped illegal drugs into this country. The Middle Eastern threat is now below our southern border, something obvious as far back as 2011

After the Trump assassination attempt at Butler, I’m having an unexpected crisis of faith. What’s unusual is...I’m an atheist.

From a young age, I wanted things to make sense with reason my guiding principle.

I would argue that, aside from 1860, 1984 was the most important election in American history. Ronald Reagan was running against Jimmy Carter’s vice president, Walter Mondale. At the end of the Carter administration, America was beleaguered, both emotionally and economically. When Reagan took office, the Iranian Hostage countdown had Americans glued to their television sets, and the combination of double-digit inflation and interest rates would knock them for a loop through the first couple of Reagan’s years. But then Reagan’s policies began to kick in.

New Yorkers elected their first socialist mayor Tuesday, handing far-left Democrat Zohran Mamdani an historic victory — as he claimed a mandate for his potentially budget-busting progressive agenda and all but declared war on President Trump. The Associated Press and NY1 called the race for the 34-year-old Mamdani about 40 minutes after polls closed at 9 p.m., inspiring cheers from his supporters at his campaign’s Brooklyn watch party. “New York, tonight you have delivered a mandate for change, a mandate for a new kind of politics, a mandate for a city that we can afford and a mandate for a government that delivers exactly that,”

Former US Vice President Dick Cheney who was a leading advocate for the invasion of Iraq has died at the age of 84, his family has said. The hard-charging conservative passed away last night due to complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease. Cheney served alongside Republican President George W Bush for two terms between 2001 and 2009. He was the chief architect of the 'war on terror' and was in office on the morning of 9/11.

Dick Cheney, who died on Monday, was one of the most prominent and polarizing Republican vice presidents in history -- and in recent years a blunt-spoken critic of Donald Trump. Dick Cheney and his daughter, former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, voiced their opposition to Trump after his push to deny the 2020 election results and the pro-Trump mob attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. In 2024, Dick Cheney and Liz Cheney endorsed Democrat Kamala Harris over Trump.

The Vatican’s doctrinal office said Tuesday the titles of “Co-Redemptrix” and “Mediatrix” are not appropriate ways to describe Mary’s participation in salvation. In “Mater Populi Fidelis” (“The Mother of the Faithful People of God”), the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) said when an expression requires frequent explanation to maintain the correct meaning, it becomes unhelpful. “In this case, the expression ‘Co-redemptrix’ does not help extol Mary as the first and foremost collaborator in the work of Redemption and grace, for it carries the risk of eclipsing the exclusive role of Jesus Christ,” according to the doctrinal note, released Nov. 4.

The White House offered no public condolences Tuesday on the death of former Vice President Dick Cheney — saying flags were lowered to half-staff at the executive mansion because the law requires it. President Trump has repeatedly attacked Cheney, who died Monday at age 84, as a “warmonger” and sparred with his daughter, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) who served as the top Republican on the House select committee that investigated Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Both Dick and Liz Cheney endorsed then-Vice President Kamala Harris in last year’s election, with the former VP saying Trump was the greatest threat to the country since its founding.

Far-left Democrat Zohran Mamdani has won New York City’s mayoral race — winning a mandate to move to enact his budget-busting, socialist agenda, according to preliminary projections. The Associated Press called the race for Mamdani, 34, about 40 minutes after polls closed, and with at least a few hundred thousand votes still to be counted. Mamdani carried 50.4% of votes to Andrew Cuomo’s 41.3% at around 9:40 p.m. The projection — which came with 75% of votes counted — also found GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa with rock-bottom 7.5%. The Uganda-born Mamdani will be the Big Apple’s first Muslim and first socialist mayor, as well as one of the youngest.

Dem Rep. Mikie Sherrill walloped Republican Jack Ciattarelli in a stunning victory Tuesday after making her New Jersey gubernatorial campaign all about President Trump. Despite Ciattarelli mounting an aggressive, well-funded campaign and polls showing the race neck-and-neck, he fell dramatically short on Election Day — marking a reversal from four years ago when most polling significantly underestimated him. Sherrill led by 12 points with 90% of ballots counted on Tuesday night after the highest turnout in a Garden State gubernatorial election in over a decade. Her electoral triumph marks the first time in the modern era that her party will control Drumthwacket for more than two consecutive terms.
