Democrat Party Headed to Far Left, Off the Deep End

Post by UpstateSCHokie »

This is how dictatorships like in Cuba & Venezuela start. Leftwing agitators build up a dumbed down populace, the seize power by promising goodies to their rabid mob base from the government largess in exchange for unlimited power. The left talks about the threat of "right wing Nazis" in this country, but the truth is the far left is far more real threat to this country than anything going on on the right. The right does not have nearly the power of mass media that the left does (the MSM, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, etc), and the left has an unlimited supply of 3rd world illegals that they can bring in and agitate on their behalf.

40 years ago, California was the envy of the world. Today it is ranked dead last in terms of quality of living. The gap between the rich and poor is the largest of any state in the country. Poverty & crime now rampant from the importation of the illegal alien crime gangs. But that doesn't matter to the state's Democrat party because they have total & complete control of the state as a result of these terrifying policies & ideology.

California is the left's blueprint for the entire country. It's already working in Virginia. They are trying to get it jump started in Texas. Because they know that if Texas falls, the whole country goes down.

California Dems’ hard-left turn could be the whole party’s future

California Dems’ hard-left turn could be the whole party’s future

How far left is the Democratic Party headed? Look to California, where last month’s state party convention went off the deep end.

The first sign of lunacy was the delegates’ refusal to endorse impeccably liberal Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

She lost out by 37 percent to 54 percent to Kevin de Leon, president pro tempore of the state Senate, who promises mainly to be obsessively anti-Trump.

Similarly, the delegates put former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa last among the party’s four candidates for governor — even though he’s tied in polls of Democratic voters with former San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, who came out on top at the convention.

Villaraigosa’s sin? As mayor, he supported charter schools and jousted with the teachers unions, rightly calling them “the largest obstacle to creating quality schools.”

Finally, the convention took a sharp anti-Israel turn, adopting planks in support of the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions movement and slapping the Israel Defense Forces.

Historically, the Golden State has been a harbinger of national trends. If that holds true, the whole Democratic Party is headed right . . . er, left . . . off the cliff.

Agree. California is producing so many millennial millionaires in tech that they are driving some of the most extreme income inequality in the country. They are struggling to figure out how to cope with it.
