The Democrats Are to Blame for the American Workers Joining the Mistaken MAGA Hordes.

I am NOT a Democrat. I could never bring myself to identify as a member of a hypocritical political institution that stands to enforce any such deceiving, two-faced, lukewarm, wishy-washy, center-right policies as the Democratic Party traditionally stands for.

The betrayal that the American working classes are constantly the object of from the part of the Democratic Party is one of the primary reasons that today’s American Democracy is under the very real threat of falling in shards at the feet of Republican Fascist Demagoguery.

The so-called “American Left” is not a “left” political institution at all. It is only an intelligence-insulting, bad-taste joke. Just a thinly-veiled, in-your-face, constantly-flown, sociopolitical and economic middle finger the American upper classes give to the American working classes.

By international political standards, including those currently in place in England, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Nordic countries and elsewhere, the “American left” socio-econo-political platform barely constitutes a bundle of “left-over” policies that the American financial elites are willing to tolerate as a way of fencing-off any serious working-class revolt, thereby perpetuating the fallacy that American Democracy works for the benefit of all Americans and not mostly for the benefit of the ones at the top.

In spite of any serious Democrat shortcomings, however, I will still vote Democrat across the board in November. I simply have no other choice.

I am an avowed capitalist. But having the American Government constantly give unneeded financial benefits to the financial elites is NOT capitalism. That’s shameless upside-down socialism. The Marxist main motto proposes that “from each according to his abilities, and to each according to his needs”. But the main motto in America seems to be “from each according to his abilities, and to each the more he has the more he gets and the rest of them can go F- themselves”. And that’s completely undemocratic.

Along the same line of thought, I could never in a trillion years bring myself to become a Republican. The Republican Party and its MAGA members are the clear and only beneficiaries of the Democratic Party’s ultra-hypocritical, shameful, unconvincing “left-wing-Party” pantomime. There is NO such thing as an American “left-wing” political institution in the United States, but that doesn’t make some of us stupid enough as to join the Republican Fascist forces.

That the Democratic Party stand for abortion rights, universal voting rights for all legal Americans, freedom of speech at University campuses, DEI, LBTQ rights, BLM, pro-working class tax policies, and pro-Democracy foreign policies, may be perfectly OK and might even be absolutely needed. But that’s all relatively minor stuff.

The plight of the American working and middleclass people won’t cease to worsen for as long as we don’t have in place in the country Universal Healthcare that includes dental, affordable prescription drugs, affordable childcare, affordable education for all citizens and affordable housing guaranteed for every single American in the country.

And none of those policies will ever come to be enacted as long as the Democratic Party continues to betray the American working and middle-classes. In other words, as long as there is NO real leftwing political Party in America, the American electorate will continue to sleepwalk down the road toward a populist, Fascist, dictatorial form of government.
