Panic!

The Saturday, February 22, 2020 results from the 2020 Nevada Democratic caucuses have the corporate, Democratic Party Establishment in—as is the title of this blog—Panic!

I am reminded of something that was said by Lionel Nation. (For a time, I watched some of his streamed content on YouTube.) This was in, if I correctly remember, the year 2017. 

Nation said, of the corporate, Democratic Party Establishment, “They are losing their party.” 

I interpreted it as: “They are losing their party.” 

Italicizing that word is necessary. It recognizes there is a distinction. They don’t want to lose their party.

On pace for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, Bernie Sanders already has a coalition. 

Sanders is winning the 18–29 while losing the 65+ voters, here in the primaries, which is what usually plays in general elections. 

(65+ are the first to vote Republican. They were the only commonly recorded voting-age group which carried nationally in 2008 for John McCain in an election in which the Republicans had the presidency and saw it flip Democratic for Barack Obama. And, since Democrats like to brag about how they won the U.S. Popular Vote in six of the last seven presidential elections of 1992 to 2016, the one cycle in which they lost—a 2004 John Kerry—saw the 18–29 voters as the only commonly recorded voting-age group nationally carried by the Democrats.)

A complaint about Sanders, in 2016, was that he was better with White than Non-White voters. Here in 2020—thus far with Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada—Sanders is receiving stronger percentages of votes by Non-Whites than Whites. 

This is really good.

I am enjoying the Panic!

The Democratic Party Establishment—and I count their allies in the media (with an example being MSNBC)—should lose their party.

Their party is not a political party. Their party is a corrupt business—with an elite culture of graduates from prestige universities (especially Harvard)—of individuals who are disconnected with the have-nots because they are among the haves. This means they are disconnected with governing for the people especially in a period of crises and great need. They have been running the Democratic Party like it is only a business. That business happens to be politics. Keeping their party requires them to continue succeeding with their usual method of gaslighting against a sufficient number of people nationwide, when they dissent, to get them [Democratic voters] to feel they need the corrupt, corporate Democratic Party Establishment.

We, the have-nots, need to be represented.
