Bernie Sanders Refers to Democratic Party as Sinking Ship (and they don't know what to do about it)
Washington Free Beacon ^ | March 17, 2017 | Sam Dorman

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) implied in a recent interview that the Democratic Party is like the ill-fated Titanic, adding that some Democrats want to go along with the "status quo" and sink with the ship.

[Snip]

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.), another member of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party suggested to the Times in the same article that President Donald Trump's election reminded Democrats that they should focus on their values.

"Our values are more in line with most of America," Warren said.

[Snip]

"We're at the point now where we are not even a national party at this point," Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan (Ohio) said days after the presidential election. "We have some support on the coast, but we lost the support of Middle America."

Imagine that. It’s acceptable to them to openly and proudly boo God at their convention.

It defies reason.

Doubtful. There has never been a shortage of democrats, deceivers, conmen, criminals, malcontents, marxists, punks, progressives, ‘rats, regressives, socialists, scumbags, tyrants, totalitarians in this world.

DEPOPULATE above from the body politic. It’s easy to...

live - free - republic

"“Our values are more in line with Marx and Lenin” Warren said."

Did she actually say that?

The solution is really simple Democrat Party, start to care more about Americans than immigrants. But we know you are too wedded to the immigrants, so not enough Americans will be coming back anytime soon. You have forgotten who your base was and the values you used to have. While you used to at least convince the lower middle class that you were for them, you now openly display your disdain for them, especially if they are white.

“Our values are more in line with most of America.”

I find this unlikely, as most Americans do not ritually adhere to a failed, 19th Century philosophy, nor are filled with burning hate and envy and the other seven deadly sins.

There’s good news and bad news about electing the first black globalist, socialist president.

The good news is that he’s the first black president.

The bad news is that, because he’s black, the Democrats heard no negative feedback (honesty/reality) about Obama’s globalism and socialism because any criticism of Obama was dismissed as racist.

Because they heard nothing but clapping, they got big heads, thinking they were the cleverest, smartest and most wonderful people on the globe. They fell into mindsets of minority racial and female/homo sexual superiority. Ugly.

The Democrat Party has been veering left for a long time. It is time to rename the party to match what they are really about. How about The Socialist Party of America? You won’t even need to change their party platform.

So, they are showing their butts. Blubbering, sobbing,
demonstrating, pitching a tantrum, showing their butts,
acting like a bunch of babies, doing Sore-Ass’s bidding,
marching like Nazis, what else? I’ve never seen anything
like it in my life! All because HITLER-Y failed to break
that glass ceiling in a fake special effects light show.
GET OVER THE CLINTONS! What a waste of breath & energy!

Sinking ship!

Party on deck 13.

And have the MSM report there is no need for concern, the ship is sitting firmly on the bottom.
