On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Beat,” DNC Chair Ken Martin stated that the Democratic Party’s job right now is to win elections, and if “we are truly in a dictatorship and an authoritarian regime here has completely shredded the Constitution, then party doesn’t matter, and then elections don’t matter and then the resistance looks completely different” “and we may be nearing” that moment, but for now, their job is winning elections.

Martin said, “[L]et me say to you, what is the role of the Democratic Party in this moment? Our job is to win, to win elections. That is our role. That is our responsibility, and where I have to put my attention and focus, Jason, is on those pieces.”

He added, “If we reach that break the glass moment when all of our democratic institutions have failed us, right? And we are truly in a dictatorship and an authoritarian regime here has completely shredded the Constitution, then party doesn’t matter, and then elections don’t matter and then the resistance looks completely different. But until we reach that moment, and we may be nearing it, Jason, don’t get me wrong, the role of the Democratic Party is singular, to win elections, to recruit candidates in every election up and down the ballot throughout the country, to build power back so we can actually stop this guy.”

I love it when they claim the constitution has been shredded and democracy is dead, but in the same sentence say they need to win the next elections.

There wouldn’t be any next election if what they’re claiming is true.

Looks like Soros and Obama’s plan to destroy the country is nearer than I thought.

And if they go there, Trump should take his third term, with one mandate only: preserve the free republic of the USA by all means at his disposal. With another CW we’ll need another Lincoln (a good one this time).

If the left wanted peace, we'd have peace

if the right wanted war, there'd be no left.

[bobbo666]

OK. 80M armed Americans.

Versus what? A few hundred militia and some soyboys?

OK.

[Noumenon]

Democrats’ moral compass is a ceiling fan.

[JimRed]

Your “job” is not to win elections. Your JOB is, after you’ve won an election, to serve the people in their best interest, not to fill your pockets.

[daku]

America hasn’t had free and fair elections for decades

[AlaskaErik]

Basically saying that if they can’t win steal elections that the resistance will become civil war.

Fixed it for you.

Yes these remarks are troubling. BUT fortunately these Commies are losing followers lately. I hope the trend continues.

nine-tenths of the battle is getting the young to see them for the Commies that they are. And if possible, get them to realize that they have been Commies all along, from before Wilson to the present day.

FDR and LBJ hid behind patriotism, these guys certainly hate the US and anything patriotic or religious. It isn't hard to dislike them if you come to the argument with an open mind.

OUR goal as conservatives should always be to flip the other side's disaffecteds, AND capture all the ambivalent, all the newbies to politics, and all the youth.

Our side is constructive, inventive, optimistic, and good natured. It is a good starting point to attract nonconservatives who are open minded.

Sounds like a threat to me - an empty one. Because the ability of the heavy donors to put thousands of geriatric losers in the street with cutesy pre-made signs doth not a revolution make. Yes, they can make a mess when their local governments turn the streets over to them for tantrums. That isn't a revolution either.

They're panicking because the other-people's-money spigots are being turned off. That threatens crooked politicians even more than street thugs. They who cannot create must steal. And the suckers are getting tired of it.

[cpdiii]

He is advocating insurrection.

The left uses violence as a political tactic. With very rare exceptions the right is peaceful. However, if the rule of law breaks down and we are in danger, the right will become a savage beast. Many on the right are armed and experienced shooters.

[struggle]

>The Dims know they are on the way out and will try to start a color revolution to regain power, mark my words.

I think they’re begging for it. Look at that U-haul attack. They have crazies they definitely are mobilizing.

“Basically saying that if they can’t win elections that the resistance will become civil war.”

That’s pretty clearly what he meant.

[yuleeyahoo]

The Democrat party should have been abolished over 150 years ago.

[Bob Wills is still the king]

“Basically saying that if they can’t win elections that the resistance will become civil war.”

Even with enough power generation, it is routed through sudstations and step down transformers.

Sub.

[cowboyusa]

Bring it, bitch. Then we can do what should have been done in the 50’s.

[ckilmer]

These guys should be taken seriously. Democrat success since the 1960’s has been based on unspoken threats. Republicans have always caved ..- that’s what a rhino is. Trump has changed that. He has called their bluff. They don’t have the ability to wage war. But they do have the ability to sow chaos. So expect them to sow as much chaos as possible.
