There Is a Revolution on the Left. Democrats Are Bracing. [Barf.]
New York Slimes ^ | July 21, 2018 | Alexander Burns

For Rachel Conner, the 2018 election season has been a moment of revelation.

A 27-year-old social worker, Ms. Conner voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 primaries, spurning the more liberal Bernie Sanders, whom many of her peers backed. But Ms. Conner changed course in this year’s campaign for governor, after concluding that Democrats could only win with more daring messages on issues like public health and immigration.

And so on a recent Wednesday, she enlisted two other young women to volunteer for Abdul El-Sayed, a 33-year-old advocate of single-payer health care running an uphill race in Michigan to become the country’s first Muslim governor. […]

Voters like Ms. Conner may not represent a controlling faction in the Democratic Party, at least not yet. But they are increasingly rattling primary elections around the country, and they promise to grow as a disruptive force in national elections as younger voters reject the traditional boundary lines of Democratic politics. […]

In Maryland, Democrats passed over several respected local officials to select Ben Jealous, a former N.A.A.C.P. president and an ally of Mr. Sanders who backs single-payer health care, as their nominee for governor. …

There is a revolution on the left. It’s called #WalkAway. Go to YouTube and see all the testimonials. Democrats, of course, are claiming it’s all about bots.

They make it sound so magical now. And, after their clocks get cleaned for running as Commies, they will blame the Russians.

The Millennials voting for outright communists.

Lack of an education in history will do that.

Violent leftists rampaged unchecked during the eight disastrous years of Obama.

Heck, the Obama cabal encouraged them.

I never would have thought Trump Derangement Syndrome combined with identity politics runaway freight train would have the Democrats lose they minds to the point of absolute political suicide.

The trick for us is to tag the moderate swing state Dems with the radicalism of the far left candidates running in their safe districts.

I think a lot of people roughly breakdown the electorate something like this:
33% Republican
33% Democrat
33% undecided

Elections are about getting out your base and about selling yourself to the undecided.

1) The Democrat base is NOT primarily Trotskyite Revolutionaries. Some of the base will stay home.
2) The Republican base HATES Trotskyite Revolutionaries and will certainly come out to stop these crazy mofos.
3) The undecideds are pretty much decided AGAINST Trotskyite Revolutionaries. They don’t want bizarro extremist politicians.

One of my predictions after the Trump election is that the Democratic party would experience a Bolshevik-Menshevik split. This appears to be happening and I think the Bolsheviks will win.

The Dems are finding out the hard way that if you cultivate illegal immigrants from Mexico as your core constituency then they will turn you into a socialist party.

Democratic party would experience a Bolshevik-Menshevik split.


It was the Bolsheviks who created the terms. Like the Communists they were they called themselves ‘Bolsheviks’ which means ‘majority’ even though they were a minority, and called their opponents ‘Mensheviks’ or ‘minority’ even though the Mensheviks were in fact the majority. Up is down, right is left, who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?

“There Is a Revolution on the Left.”

The “left” can’t figure out which bathroom to use or which sexual identity honorific to embrace.

That’s not a good start for a revolution. Idiots.
