Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor: Protecting the status quo until rotten, bitter end. This is the DP’s strategy in a nutshell: maintain the status quo and hope that the horrors of Trump are enough to discipline the base into turning out in the midterms. The DP is so craven; so utterly corrupt and bankrupt and lacking any hint of a notion of the deep wells of bitterness and anger in this country that they continue to thumb their nose at those who have the ability to turn around its dismal fortunes. The Democratic Party is as worthless as the carcass of the ass that is the symbol of their party. As a Left, we should abandon them with the same vigor with which they readily abandon us.
