Wisdom teeth are painful (Between the hammer of the leftist and the anvil of liberals, the Democratic Party has fallen victim to hate)

8 Dec 2020

The Russian novelist #Anton_Chekhov said once upon a time: "Love, friendship and respect don't unite people as hatred for something do" the German philosopher #Karl_Marx said also: "The ideas of the ruling class in every era are the dominant ideas. The ruling class that possesses the material strength of society is at the same time the intellectual force" Democrats, with all their ideological roots, have gathered in a fierce hatred of US President Donald J. Trump but they didn't search for the roots and the lamp of the Trump businessman's candle and did not think much about how Trump's ideas were possible?! Of course, the result is that their ideas are united only in removing Trump in any way but they didn't think how their mission would be possible after Trump?! This came from one of the most important funders of the Democratic Party, #George_Soros, when he said that Trump's victory in the presidency of the White House was a fatal mistake that must be corrected!!!,

Whoever watches the internal dialogue in the Democratic Party closely cannot ignore the conflict that is increasing in intensity between the leftists on one hand, and the liberals and moderates on the other hand The Republicans fought a similar struggle in the years after the victory of former US President Barack Obama in 2009, presiding over the Oval Office, specifically since 2010 when they regained the majority of the House of Representatives. The republican conflict ended with the victory of hardliners As they were able to prevent the party from taking any step or decision that contradicts their agenda, and this led to paralysis in Congress throughout the past period, during the Obama and Trump period, respectively, Even when the Republicans controlled both houses of Congress and with them the White House in the years 2017-2018, the party failed to pass many of its agenda items, did not pass new laws related to immigration and health care and did not finance the southern wall, and the point of tax reduction remained the only legislative success for the Republicans Will the same scenario be repeated with the Democrats??,

Some use the expressions of liberals and leftists interchangeably, and this is a mistake. Although there is an overlap between leftists and liberals on one hand, and liberals and moderates on the other side, they are different factions, in their entirety the overwhelming majority of the Democratic Party Historically, liberals sympathized with leftists more than moderates because they see that the Democratic Party went to the right too much, but the recent period has witnessed the tendency of the liberals -which can be argued that they are the largest group in the party relatively- towards the moderates as they see that the leftists are extremist too much.  This damaged the party’s message, its ability to reach the rules and convince it to support the party They attack certain propositions, foremost of which is the cancel culture and the call to stop financing the police (defund the police), and above all, raise the slogan of Social Democracy.  There is simply not enough popular support for her except that they are not convinced of the principle of completely canceling commercial insurance that this idea leads to Certainly none of these ideas will be implemented or even seriously presented during the current legislative session. The presumed President # Joe Biden is against all of these ideas and has not put any of them in his agenda on which he was elected,

But this does not negate the existing question about the extent to which this internal democratic conflict affects the party’s ability to function as a single bloc and pass some of its important agenda items, whether at the level of economic reform, reform of tax, immigration and healthcare laws, or even launching Biden’s ambitious program towards rebuilding the infrastructure.  And the launch of projects for the transition towards alternative energy These are all items that the Democrats can agree on and then work to pass some or all of Congress, whether by the commitment of all party members if they win the state of # Georgia, or to win over some moderate Republican senators to make deals with them on some of the agenda items that make them vote in favor of passing them if they lose Georgia But all of this is first linked to the internal Democrats ’agreement, and the liberals were able to neutralize the hardening of the more extreme leftists. The presidential elections 2020 showed that this is possible. Much stronger than any internal disagreements between the party wings, so it is natural to doubt that the 2020 Alliance is still standing and that the wings will actually be able to agree Biden and Pelosi will be the most prominent players in finding this consensus, and each of the two has proven in the past that they are able to gather votes and achieve consensus within Congress, which makes the possibility of their success in that again possible, but it is not at all certain. The left has never been stronger than it was in  The period 2019-2020 Despite the failure to achieve satisfactory results in the last congressional elections, and this being blamed by many for him, he is still strong and the rule (militancy does not produce anything but tighter than it is because it is behind every bidder who bids it) is valid and casts doubt on the Democrats ’success in doing all or even  Some of what they want to do in the next two years.
