HAMMER: The Democratic Party Is Fatally Attracted To Hardcore Leftism

The 2020 Democratic Party presidential candidates finally return tonight to the debate stage. And boy, are the American people in store for a treat.

The modern Democratic Party is, at its core, fundamentally unfit to govern the United States of America. In its present form, it is, as I put it in July, "a ragtag potpourri of anti-nation-state/pro-open-borders activists, devoted prenatal infanticide cultists, neo-Marxist economic 'class warfare' grievance-mongers, and identity politics-centric racial identitarian hucksters." The man currently leading Democratic presidential primary polling is a senile liar and faux-"moderate" ad hominem straw man-slayer with a firm decades-long commitment to perpetually reaching new heights of brazen immorality. The woman upon whom a plurality of bettors are placing their wagers is a politically disingenuous, shrill harpy with all the likability of venereal disease. And the septuagenarian loonbag who seems to be rising to near the top of much national and statewide polling is an actual Sandinista-loving communist radical who honeymooned in the Soviet Union and openly shilled for America's arch geopolitical foe at the height of America's existential standoff with that foe.

Hold aside for a moment all the sundry problems with the incorrigibly feckless Republican Party. Focus, for now, on the profound maladies of the Left. The Democratic Party, which has never seen a criminal alien sex offender that it hated or a third-trimester unborn child that it loved, is a political party in very, very, very bad shape.
