Probably more like Obrador in Mexico.

Democrats, their only concern is to return to power,
their only enemy, those who currently hold it.

Democrats, their only concern is to return to power, their only enemy, those who currently hold it.

Too many Democrat "camp followers" earn their living from government - the longer the party is out of power, the longer they have to work at Starbucks while waiting for one of those treasured Junior Policy Analyst positions to open up in the next Democrat Administration. I think it was Dick Morris who made the point a while back that if the Democrats don't win elections, they don't eat. It's life or death for them. They don't have real jobs to return to like the rest of us.

So they have villainized Bush as the lone man standing in their way of their economic success, and that amplifies the irrational hatred they feel for him. They've now gotten so irrational about the issue that they are completely ignoring the enemy who wants to blow them up - they just need to get their hands back on the levers that dispense government money, no matter what. Losing New York to a nuclear terrorist attack wouldn't be as bad to them as losing another election and being denied access to that money.

The good news is, their numbers are already shrinking, and another loss might just drive the "camp followers" out of politics altogether.

Democrats, their only concern is to return to power...

A quote of Lord Taylor of Warwick: "Leadership is about action, not just position."

Per this statement, the (Socialist) Democrats offer no true leadership. They want a place of power, and when they get it, their strategy involves popularity. They don't aim for doing "good", they aim solely to maintain their position. This means [1] they don't do anything that might offend even the evil (even to the point of employing desperate, security-threatening pacifism), and [2] they bend over backwards to maintain a large crowd of useful idiots that readily accept dependence on government. Take a look at the Democrats (Socialists) in Congress now. What solutions have they offered? What alternatives to (Presidential or Republican) proposed programs have they suggested? They only attack, attack, attack. See? [1] Don't offend (i.e., don't take a risk of offering solutions), and [2] do anything appeal to the entitlement crowd.
