I keep wondering about the leadership & power void on the left. Did the clinton machine do to the DNC that Saddam did to Iraq? That is, destroy any possible opposition and thus create a situation where there is no viable leadership from the left?
-
Interesting possibility. One does tend to think "power vacuum" when looking at all the Democrats could scrape up to run for President this year. It could easily be that all opposition to HRC was silenced. But then how did Bernie and that other forgettable guy get past the wall? Were they allowed in as no-real-threat candidates to make it look like HRC actually had to compete?

It would appear the power vacuum that exists is being filled by people cut from the same cloth as Hillary, if not worse, in the likes of Representative Keith Ellison. He's announced his intent to become the next DNC chair.

There will likely be 6 or more candidates vying for DNC chair.

I suspect that the Keith Ellison candidacy is a smoke screen so people think the real candidate to run the DNC is so much less deplorable that he/she will not get nearly the push back.

I dunno. The Dems are good at choosing the most deplorable candidate.

I'm not sure, but I see a sea change going on in the Democratic Party. The party is now populated by the far left turd throwers, and are being backed up by more and more radical leftists.
I think most moderates strongly reject this movement, and are looking at a different place to hang their hat.
We'll see if I'm right at the mid-term elections.

I don't know what is going on with the Democratic party. IMNSHO, they got beat because they were too far left (not to discount their disqust with Hillary's crime spree). But their response seems to be to go even further left. But as you said, that is going to leave a great many of the not-so-far-left Democrats looking for a new home.
Wasn't it just a few months ago everyone was saying the Republican party was dead?

Like every political party, the people with the loudest voices and biggest mouths get the most attention. We might be just seeing (reading, hearing...) the biggest jerks being quoted.
