Democratic Voters Won’t Be Happy With This Harsh Truth
John Bolton says Democrats committed ‘impeachment malpractice’ and now faces a bipartisan rebuke for telling the truth.
It’s not surprising Bolton is exposing Nancy Pelosi’s and her fellow, long-serving Democrats’ intentional screw-ups in their lackluster attempt at impeaching the impeached (but not convicted) president trump.
The long-serving Democrats benefit immensely being the minority party, especially with a Republican as president. For this reason long-serving Democrats are joining with congressional Republicans in b!tching out John Bolton for spilling the beans.
Bolton was not called to testify, but not due to legal threats from his attorney, but because he had too much firsthand knowledge of many impeachable offenses committed by the crooked and corrupt trump. The minor charges the Democrats did bring against the impeached president trump made acquitting him an easy task for Moscow Mitch.
That acquittal guaranteed the long-serving Democrats (Pelosi included) would retain their ability to plead “helplessness” in fighting GOP policies that favor the billionaire class and Big Business. This method of feigning opposition as they sell out their constituents, all the while collaborating with congressional Republicans, has been a very successful reelection strategy for many members of the Democratic establishment.
Yes, Democratic voters will adamantly disagree with the above assessment, but, read on and see what the long-serving Democrats have planned for the next few years, and the screwing they’ll give their constituents.
Polls consistently prove that, from workers’ rights to universal healthcare, a progressive policy agenda is supported by a majority of American voters. But even with so much voter support, the Democrats refuse to make any effort in this direction,
Unfortunately, the long-serving Democrats rely on their constituents to blindly accept their pleas of helplessness in fighting GOP policies, which screw working people and give trillions-of-dollars in tax cuts and cash handouts to Big Business and the billionaire class. However, these so-called “helpless” Democrats regularly do everything they can to assist congressional Republicans in reinforcing obstacles to long-term progressive change.
This screwing over their constituents by the long-serving Democrats can best be seen in their enthusiastic support for Republicans’ legislative response to the coronavirus crisis. Democrats’ entire 2018 electoral campaign told America that the opposition party needed to win back Congress in order to block the impeached president trump’s regressive agenda. And yet, when the Republicans proposed a bill to let the impeached president trump’s appointees dole out government cash to their corporate allies with no strings attached, this same opposition party was unable to muster a single recorded vote against the package. Not one.
The impeached president trump’s appointees and the Federal Reserve can now hand out $4 trillion to the impeached president trump’s cronies and other politically connected corporations as they lay waste to our economy and steamroll progressive reforms necessary for the survival of all life on our planet. Private equity firms and fossil fuel companies get new tax breaks as they buy elections to move government towards locking in permanent climate change.
These bailouts were part of a larger legislative package that included good things like expanded unemployment benefits. So, it could be argued that Democrats simply had to swallow a bitter pill and vote yes. Except, they subsequently proposed their own standalone legislation that would further strengthen the corporate opponents of progressive reform.
The Democrats crafted the language in this legislation so as to disguise their altering of the so-called paycheck protection program (PPP). Originally created to help employees of mom-and-pop enterprises throughout the country, House Democrats’ new stimulus legislation would open up the small business loan program to, what are called “small nonprofits”. This is where language of the legislation provided these forgivable loans to industry trade associations. Such lobby groups represent the planet’s biggest corporations – and their political action committees have delivered more than $191m of campaign cash to lawmakers in the last two decades.
The Democrats really want to deliver on Status Quo Joe’s promises to the billionaire class that, “Nothing would fundamentally change,” is he is elected, and, “No one’s standard of living will change.” In this, an election year, Democrats want Washington power-players to fully understand that money meant for workers at neighborhood restaurants, local shops and other mom-and-pop concerns can be easily raided by the front groups representing giant drug companies, health insurers and Wall Street firms. If the legislation passes, it would not merely be an epic tale of greed – the new funding stream for corporate lobbying groups would bolster the very forces that assure federal policy dis-empowers workers, maximizes private profit and generally protects the ruling class.
Here are a few more harsh facts to increase the Democratic voters’ disappointment. As 43 million Americans face the prospect of losing private health insurance, Democrats chose to ignore a huge opportunity. When the impeached president trump implied he wanted the government to pay healthcare providers directly for treating uninsured COVID-19 patients, did the Democrats call his bluff? No way. Rather than passing existing legislation to expand a Medicare program that provides actual medical care, House Democrats passed a bill to support lightly regulated private insurance marketplaces and to subsidize existing private insurance plans through a Rube Goldberg machine known as Cobra – and they passed this giveaway just after receiving an infusion of campaign cash collected by insurance lobbyists.
The Democrats chose to protect the poor quality service provided by corporate insurance, routing yet more public money through their private bureaucracy in hopes that medical care eventually trickles down to Americans who desperately need it. Such a system is totally inadequate during a pandemic and the Democrats, just like the congressional Republicans, know this. There is no actual guarantee of healthcare, only the guarantee of insurance coverage. Coverage, which is so often denied or restricted when a medical claim is actually filed. Moreover, corporate health insurance has far higher administrative costs than single-payer programs like Medicare. When the Democrats “negotiated” with the, then minority, congressional Republicans, the minority party steamrolled the “helpless” Democrats, forcing them to agree to a provision in the Affordable Care Act, which permits insurers to siphon up to 20% of customers’ premiums into corporate profits rather than actual medical care.
Additionally, Democrats’ Cobra plan is not merely a financial bailout for insurers – it is also a political bailout when the industry needs it most. At a time when popular support for Medicare for All is surging – when even a Republican president feels the need to make rhetorical (if empty) gestures toward the concept of government-funded healthcare – the Cobra plan would use public money to firm up the private health insurance industry’s dominance over the healthcare system, Again, the Democrats acting like Republicans, protecting the fat cats’ profits while screwing their constituents.
Status Quo Joe is the candidate with the most conservative and corporate-friendly record running for the Democratic 2020 nomination. His nearly fifty years in D,C. have proven he is, occasionally, willing to support a policy of minuscule benefit to average Americans, but only when that policy is of massive benefit to Big Business and the billionaire class.
If the Democrats don’t get a great deal of new blood into congress by kicking these “helpless”, long-serving Democrats (Pelosi included) to the curb, the only reason for Democratic voters to go to the polls will be to help Status Quo Joe and the Democratic establishment maintain the...status quo.
Conservatives have a long history of catering to the whims of Big Business and the billionaire class. They will work for slave wages under hazardous conditions and then thank their benefactors for their overwhelming generosity, all the while blaming the impoverished for all that ails society. Democratic voters must elect representatives, senators, and most importantly, a president determined to end this, or very soon this Democracy will become a plutocracy, or worse, a fascist dictatorship.
We know, except for a select few, the current crop of Democrats and all of the congressional Republicans have us on a course to end our Democracy. Anyone who cannot, or will not see this is a bigger part of the problem than the politicians.
