The DNC And The “Establishment”

In a recent post Andrew Wilson(https://bit.ly/4qzHsam) takes the Substack audience through the most recent polling numbers of Cheeto’s declining demise But what struck me was American’s faith in Congress This is on top of the numbers earlier in the year of support of the Democratic National Committee which was in the 20’s And it’s taken a diabolical character like Cheeto to awaken the sleeping giant/American electorate to get out of its van Winkel slumber to begin to take back our country hijacked by the DNC “Establishment” ie political strategists like Simon Rosenburg(of Hopium Chronicles which I wouldn’t recommend) who pose as consultant but have a distinct dark underbelly agenda of acceptance of Palestinian genocide and taint the party’s agenda with dishonesty and personal hidden agendas that control the party’s narrative

America is waking up to this dishonesty by the party supposedly supporting the truth and values that WE the People hold dear Now WE witness spikes of consciousness who represent those ideals that have been spurned by the “Establishment” Politicians like Zohran Mamdami, Graham Plattner, and Dan Osborn are not embraced but lead the way to support the ideals and policies that made America great And WE the People who are on the front lines at protests are insisting a return to politicians who have integrity and speak the truth without the need for a “party endorsement” because they know when they speak for the American middle class they will win!!!

Thank you, Peter, thank you Zohran. You both model what it meant to be an American patriot.

And if Mamdani succeeds, what a good demonstration this will be to Israel, of an American response to multi-culturalism with a genuine respect for diversity underwritten by legal equality for all.

Based on the IHRA definition of antisemitism and recent polls, an estimated 33% of Jews in New York are antisemites.

Peter, thank you very much. You are so inspiring. As a Jewish Israeli, I wish most Jewish Israelis thought like you. I wish. Unfortunately, I don't see it, and therefore I have no hope or optimism.
