No matter how crazy Trump gets, the DNC (Democratic National Committee) wants to keep him in power. Instead of taking its cues from the vast majority of Democratic voters, the committee refuses to consider ending military aid to Israel. And despite an ongoing genocide in Gaza, the committee won't condemn the bloodbath. This despite polls that show 77% of Democratic voters think that Israel is the cause of the slaughter.
Is the majority of the DNC just keeping Trump around long enough to run against him in the next election? Palestinians be damned, as long as the Democrats gain control of the Congress?
I think the truth is worse than that. To understand what really motivates the DNC, we have to learn the meaning of an unusual word: "kleptocracy." It is really a combination of two Greek words, one for "thief" and one for "ruler." Of course, no one fits that definition better than our current scoundrel in chief. But we can identify other elected official much closer to home.
Representative Pat Ryan thrives in our current kleptocracy. He talks endlessly about human rights, despite spending most of his career in the US military occupying foreign countries in the Middle East. He was also a contractor for Palantir, an AI company linked to the killing of 120 school children in Iran. Not surprisingly, Ryan's top two campaign contributors were the Israel Lobby and Palantir. Together, they lined Ryan's pockets with about 269,000 dollars for the last election. Our hometown grifter is doing very well.
