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.
