That Same Ol' Party

Day 1 of the New Democratic Era, saw the newly elected DNC chair, Tom Perez, taking after Donald Trump.  "New Party leader ridicules Trump's tweet..."  bannered the L.A. Times.

Hillary warmed over.  Blame the other guy is what you do when you haven't got anything to say for yourself.  That was Hillary's tactic during the primary and the election: shift focus.  And she did so in a nasty, gutter-level way by finding something negative to outrage over.  SWITCH AND BLAME.

So what does the "new" DNC offer?  More of the same, indicating that once again the Demorats hope to make progress not on the strength of their convictions (as if) but by playing FEAR and SMEAR.

“Frankly, what we need to be looking at is whether this election was rigged by Donald Trump and his buddy Vladimir Putin,” said Perez

Oh really?  This is what working people should be worried about?
 

Parties worth the name have something affirmative to say and to peddle.  But the Demorats don't stand for anything; or more precisely, they are spread eagles for the corporate plutocracy.

And thus, the usual blather about "coming together, inclusively, under a rainbow, to fight Trump."  Not a word about fighting for those specific things that would actually benefit people and save the planet,  rendering Trump superfluous.

Meanwhile, Sweinstein was in town, meeting her constituents.  Per the Chron, "The hour-long, ticketed event, billed as a conversation with Feinstein with mostly preselected questions, wasn’t good enough for the protesters, who called on the senator to hold an open town hall meeting and answer questions from all comers.  Feinstein backed away from [that] request ..., but said she’d try to work something out the next time she was in the area."

 

Puke.
