I’m and I’m sure others feel left out of the loop.<br /><br />In general I’m in agreement with the much of the stated policies of Progressive wing of the Democratic Party. But I agree with many of the goals of groups further to the left such as the Green Party and certain variants of the Social Democrats.<br /><br />After the Hillary fiasco which in my mind started with Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and the freezing out of Bernie Sanders which meant it was not listening to the “base,” I’m not inclined to trust the Democratic Leadership. Recall: we had a reminder of the problems within the Dems a few weeks back when Donna Brazil went on her pre-book release tour. So forgive me if I am skeptical of the Schumer / Pelosi Axis which is aligned with whom exactly?<br /><br />When the opposition party doesn’t press the president with his unstable pronouncement, with his failure to provide financial disclosure, and doesn’t press the president with his daily dose of lies, and doesn’t press the president with his sexual improprieties what good is that party?<br /><br />When understanding actions is elusive, the problem may not be with those trying to understand but with deceptive actors (who may just be less clumsy than Trump.)<br />Andy Shizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15215297395548845513noreply@blogger.com
