Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared on “Late
Night With Seth Meyers” just recently and she complained that there are too
many people in the Democratic Party, who will not vote in the general election
against Donald Trump. According to Fox News:[1]
U.S. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez says she’s “been
concerned” about some Democrats not wanting to support her candidate – Sen. Bernie Sanders –
if he eventually wins the party’s presidential nomination.
But she also said she is afraid that many Sanders supporters
won’t go out and vote for Joe Biden if he wins the nomination. Her fears are
justified. I know of a lot of people who want to support Sanders, but will
refuse to vote for Biden, if he wins the nomination.
Voting out Trump seems like the logical course of action. He
is the most despicable person to hold the presidency since Richard Nixon. He is
not only a far-far-far-far-far to the right conservative he is just plain
disgusting. He is misogynistic, racist and completely anti-poor. Unlike Ronald
Reagan, another conservative president I hated, Trump is deeply hated by almost
all Democrats. Reagan was popular with the so called “Reagan Democrats.” That
alone demonstrated one thing the Democratic Party had problems with. There is
no real ideology to being a Democrat.
To some extent, Biden and his supporters deserve the
problems they have inherited. While Sanders has addressed a number of issues
that many households have problems with, Biden has just glossed over them.
Worst of all is his stand on Medicare for all. Sanders promises to get rid of
the middlemen (or women) who are the insurance companies that have bled a lot
of people dry. My wife and I spend about a fourth of all our income on diabetes
medicine. A lot of people are having the same problem. And Joe promises to do
nothing to fix that. He is more concerned about middle class people who don’t
want their boats rocked and the pharmaceutical companies who like to profit off
of those of us who are sick and dying.
As we get closer to the general election, maybe Democratic
Party members will realize how important it is to remove Donald Trump from his
job. He has served his corporate masters well and he needs to be removed.
