Unfortunately the Democrat Party is not doomed. It is the perfect party which appeals to people who do not want to honor God in their lives and want to run away from the laws of nature which have been established on this planet. And there are many many people who fall in that category. It also appeals to people who are fundamentally angry about life and view everything through the prism of victimhood. Again there are not a shortage of those people
Don’t count on it. The GOP is like the Falcoms in the Super Bowl. They’ve got a big lead but you know they’re gonna do something stupid to squander the lead.
If true, I guess it doesn’t matter. We have plenty of liberals in the pub party that can break off and take up the socialist banner.
It died in 1992 when they transitioned over from being a semi-recognizeable party that you remember from the days of Truman and JFK, to one that went full ID politics with crap like the “year of the women” in 92 to seeing the CBC ramp up the racial rhetoric after the GOP sweep in 1994, to the whole sex in the Oval Office was “no big deal” talk.
The 2000 election brought out the radicals bent on revenge. The Iraq War reignited the mass protest movement. Obama mainstreamed the kook fringe while decimating the elected ranks and alienating the old blue-collar base, and Trump has pushed the remains of the party over the mental edge.
As far as Trump embracing dictators and robber barons, if that’s what he really has done, they all did it. There’s a pretty long history of the US snuggling up with dictators. Assange stirring the pot. There are some people who just want to agitate no matter who’s in office.
I agree, the Democratic party is not doomed. Their demographic strategy is working like a charm.
The Demonicrat Party should be declared a criminal organization and placed under RICO.

What you said. They are the victim party, and will not diminish until false victimhood does.
It’ll take a great calamity (war, pestilence, earth event, communism) to wake them to what actual victimhood feels like. Then, it sure won’t be pussy hat-wearing Democrats they’ll go to for help.
Thank you. Here’s a text format for copying:
Why the Democratic party is doomed:
1. The Democratic establishment has vortexed the party’s narrative energy into hysteria about Russia (a state with a lower GDP than South Korea). It is starkly obvious that were it not for this hysteria, insurgent narratives of the type promoted by Bernie Sanders would rapidly dominate the party’s base and its relationship with the public.
Without the “We didn’t lose—Russia won” narrative, the party’s elite and those who exist under its patronage would be purged for being electorally incompetent and ideologically passé. The collapse of the Democratic vote over the last eight years is at every level, city, state, Congressional and presidential.
It corresponds to the domination of the Democratic decision making structures by a professional service class and to a shocking decline in the health and longevity of white males, whom together with their wives, daughters, mothers, and sisters comprise 63% of the US population (2010 census).
Democratic campaigns have conspicuously promoted racial and sexual identity politics (for everyone but whites and males). This delineated and alienated white and male identity grievance classes, pushing these majorities into the arms of the GOP dog racial and sexual dog-whistling (53% of all men voted for Trump, 53% of white women and 63% of white men according to PEW research). Unlike other industrialized countries, US male real wages (all ethnic groups combined) have not increased since 1973.
2. The Trump-Russia collusion narrative is a political dead end. Despite vast resources, enormous incentives and a year of investigation, Democratic senators who have seen the classified intelligence at the CIA such as Senator [Dianne] Feinstein (as recently as March) are forced to admit that there is no evidence of collusion.
Without collusion, we are left with the Democratic establishment blaming the public for being repelled by the words of Hillary Clinton and the Democratic party establishment.
It is a problem that the public discovered what Hillary Clinton said to Goldman Sachs and what party elites said about fixing the DNC primaries against Bernie Sanders?
A party elite that maintains that it is the “crime of the century” for the public and their membership to discover how they behave and what they believe invites scorn.
3. The Democrat establishment needs the support of the security sector and media barons to push this diversionary conspiracy agenda, so they ingratiate themselves with these two classes leading to further perceptions that the Democrats act on behalf of an entrenched power elite.
Eventually, Trump or Pence will ‘merge’ with the security state leaving Democrats in a vulnerable position having talked up two deeply unaccountable traditionally Republican-aligned organizations, in particular, the CIA and the FBI, who will be turned against them.
Other than domestic diversion and geopolitical destabilization, the primary result of the Russian narrative is increased influence and funding for the security sector which is primarily GOP owned or aligned.
4. The twin result is to place the primary self-interest concerns of most Americans, class competition, freedom from crime and ill health and the empowerment of their children, into the shadows and project the Democrats as close to DC and media elites. This has further cemented Trump’s anti-establishment positioning and fettered attacks on Trump’s run away embrace of robber barons, dictators and gravitas-free buffoons like the CIA’s Mike Pompeo.
5. GOP/Trump has open goals everywhere: broken promises, inequality, economy, healthcare, militarization, Goldman Sachs, Saudi Arabia & cronyism, but the Democrat establishment can’t kick these goals since the Russian collusion narrative has consumed all its energy and it is entangled with many of the same groups behind Trump’s policies.
6. The Democratic base should move to start a new party since the party elite shows no signs that they will give up power. This can be done quickly and cheaply as a result of the internet and databases of peoples’ political preferences.
This reality is proven in practice with the rapid construction of the Macron, Sanders and Trump campaigns from nothing. The existing Democratic party may well have negative reputation capital, stimulating a Macron-style clean slate approach.
Regardless, in the face of such a threat, the Democratic establishment will either concede control or, as in the case of Macron, be eliminated by the new structure.
In the near future, the Democrat party will be nothing but minorities, misfits (queers and feminists) and wealthy megalomaniacs (Soros, Zuckerberg, etc.)
When it becomes obvious that the Democrat base (minorities/crazies) is not big enough to win elections, the Megalomaniacs will stop the funding.
That is when the Democrat party will implode. It could be less than 10 years from now.
Later
There’s a lot here I hadn’t really thought about.
I assume Assange is talking about rich members of his cabinet, and the Saudi conference he went to. As for his cabinet, he has several billionares, all who have run large organizations, working in the administration. Some of them are working for free, and almost all of them took a step down to be a cabinet official. They are at an age and level where they don't need money, and don't seem to be working to further their business interests. They seem to have the same motivation as Trump does, to fix problems with the economy and government. Who was he supposed to put in his cabinet, homeless drunks?
As for the Arab dictators, yes he did embrace them. Obama and Bush wanted to overthrow dictators and put in democratic Muslim Brotherhood dictators. How did that turn out? Saudi Arabia is changing remarkably fast, and is now recognizing that it needs to get with the twenty first century. Why shouldn't Trump recognize that and be willing to work with them?
not as long as one person has their hand out and another person is willing to take whats yours and give it to them... after they take their cut that is
Good points. On the other hand, liberal-minded Kushner has brought in Wall St. shark Gary Cohn.
So it is true that President Trump is allowing others to bring in people that are reprehensible or checkered. But as many close to him have said, he is in control as the tamer.
The thing we’ve learned about Donald Trump in the past two years is that he can be fooled now and then, but not for long. He quickly realizes when he’s been misled, and promptly acts to repair any damage.
An even more emphatic attribute of Donald Trump is summed up as:
WHEN DONALD J. TRUMP GETS THE CORRECT INFORMATION, HE MAKES THE CORRECT DECISION.
As far as Trump embracing dictators and robber barons, if that’s what he really has done, they all did it. There’s a pretty long history of the US snuggling up with dictators. Assange stirring the pot. There are some people who just want to agitate no matter who’s in office.
*******************
That statement is accurate ,, however Trump has done so in order to advance American interests ... I saw that quote as Assange leveraging his argument with the rats by making statements they would undeniably agree with.
