Democrats Have Handed Republicans The Keys To Their Party

Democrats continue to align themselves with Republicans as we approach the 2020 election, with Cindy McCain being named to the Biden transition team. This could ultimately prove to be an instance where they win the battle but lose the war. They are handing over the keys to their Party to Republicans and corporations, and it might prove to be impossible to wrestle those keys out of their hands when this is all over. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Number six three, two one earlier this week, uh, Joe Biden's campaign announced that Cindy McCain, the wife of late Senator John McCain had been named to his transition team, uh, should Joe Biden. When Cindy McCain's going to be in charge of, you know, helping draft ideas about, uh, women and children, which is great, you know, nothing wrong with that at all. Unless of course you want the democratic party to flourish for years to come. The sad reality we're living in right now, folks, I fear what's happening with the democratic party is that they're willing to win the battle yet lose the war. The battle, of course, being the 2020 presidential election, the war being the longterm health of the party, they are welcoming in too many Republicans and too many corporatists and too many corporations themselves. You have corporations within the chamber of commerce that has been a staunchly Republican group for decades that are now endorsing Joe Biden.

They feel welcome in Joe Biden's democratic party because Joe Biden's democratic party is openly embracing all of these Republicans and all of these corporations and bringing them in under the big tent of the democratic party where everybody's welcome and less, of course, you're a progressive and I gotta say, yeah, I, I don't like what I'm saying at all. Now I have made it clear and I have not changed. In fact, I've only gotten more steadfast in my decision. I will be voting for Joe Biden in November a hundred percent. And then beyond that, I was hoping as so many other progressives are that we'll be able to work and push Biden to the left. I'm starting to think that that may not be able to even happen because of how many Republicans McCain is only the second Republican owner's transition team. But then you have the Lincoln project folks who are actually good with Donald Trump SCOTUS pick judge Amy, Coney Barrett.

They like her. And I told you, they would just, like I told you almost a year ago that George Conway, while he's also going after Trump, he's not our friend. I told you before the pandemic even hit, I was doing videos about the Lincoln project is not our ally, just because we have the same enemy. We don't embrace them. We can laugh at what they do. We can appreciate it, but we don't invite them to the table. But the democratic party invited them to the table and look at what's happening. The party is already morphing into something that I don't know if it can be fixed, because I truly believed everything that was wrong with the democratic party before bringing in these Republicans, I thought over time, we could fix them. Eventually. Most of them, I don't know if that's possible anymore. Are we witnessing in real time, a political realignment that's entirely possible.

What we could be seeing is the democratic party realigning itself as the new moderate Republican party. They're good on social issues. They're bad on corporate issues. So you'll have rights, but the right to clean air and water, won't be one of them. You can marry whoever you want. You just probably won't be able to breathe. And half the country, you know, women will be free to make choices about their own body. Unfortunately, if you drink the water straight out of the tap, you might get cancer. That I think is what the democratic party is morphing into.
