With the recent turns in the Mueller investigation, many of us are celebrating what may be the earliest beginning of the end of the cooperative take over of our government by Russians , Banksters, pseudo-Christians, Nazis and other Republicans.  Some of us may think that with so much corruption and scandal from the Republicans, Democrats can walk in and take over.  The past shows clearly how mistaken that is.  Unless we offer something worth having, any victories we enjoy will be temporary at best.  To prevent that, we need to turn left!<\/font><\/p>\n

\"1031Left\"<\/p>\n

A new poll shows<\/a> most Democratic voters want their party to move left, with new people in charge. In other words, they want a political revolution.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve got the right idea.<\/p>\n

If the party establishment thinks Robert Mueller\u2019s investigation will save it, it\u2019s probably wrong. After President Richard Nixon and Vice President Spiro Agnew were both removed from office for malfeasance, Jimmy Carter barely eked out a win in 1976. Four years later, Ronald Reagan\u2019s victory ushered in 12 years of Republican leadership in the White House.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a lesson for today\u2019s Democrats. High crimes and misdemeanors don\u2019t automatically translate into enthusiasm for the other party, especially in today\u2019s murky political environment.  Corruption is more likely to lead to cynicism than to citizen involvement, unless voters are given something to believe in.<\/p>\n

A Left Majority Led By Women and People of Color<\/h4>\n

Democratic voters apparently know what they believe in. In the latest Harvard-Harris poll<\/a>, a sample of the party\u2019s base voters was asked: \u201cDo you support or oppose movements within the Democratic Party to take it even further to the left and oppose the current Democratic leaders?\u201d<\/p>\n

52 percent of those polled said they support those movements, while 48 percent said they oppose them. That\u2019s a call to political insurrection. These voters want to change the party\u2019s ideology. They \u201coppose\u201d (that\u2019s a strong word, \u201coppose\u201d) the people who have been running it for decades.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the implications for the party\u2019s upcoming races seem clear, the long-term implications are even more stark:  69 percent of voters aged 18 to 34 said they support those insurrectionary movements.<\/p>\n

Among other things, the Harvard-Harris poll disproves the \u201cBernie Bros\u201d canard so beloved by the party\u2019s establishment. Democratic insiders have repeatedly insisted that the party\u2019s left is dominated by white males. The implication is that the left is somehow sexist and\/or racist.<\/p>\n

But the poll shows that support for the left is greater among female voters (55 percent), Hispanic voters (65 percent), and African-American voters (55 percent) than it is among whites (46 percent) or men (49 percent)… [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
