This is a nice thought, but, if I know the modern Democratic Party; it will accomplish nothing at all.
Detroit — Michigan Democrats are gathering Saturday at the Cobo Center in Detroit, where they’ll look to regroup after a series of stinging election losses and choose new officials who will lead the party into the 2018 cycle.
State party chairman Brandon Dillon is not expected to face a significant challenge in his bid for re-election, but new activists and current leaders will compete for a series of caucus, congressional district and central committee seats.
Two separate groups inspired by Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, a 2016 presidential candidate and democratic socialist, are hoping to breathe new life into the party by engaging the grassroots. The two organizations are at odds, however, and are promoting separate candidates for various party positions.
Leaders of Michigan for Revolution have blasted “establishment” Democrats and say they want to “revolutionize” the state party. Michigan to Believe in, meanwhile, has worked with labor leaders to develop a joint “progressive unity slate” of convention candidates.

What needs to happen with the Democratic Party, as a whole, is this: The Democratic Party needs to chase these radical leftists, of the Barnie Sanders/Barack Obama stripe —- the New Left, out of that Party with torches and pitch forks! They have ruined what was once, what Ronald Reagan called, “An Honorable Party” and turned it into a socialist, far left-wing party.
From the time, when I was eligible to vote, when I was 18; I voted Democrat. I was born into and raised in a Democratic Party voting household. My Father is a retired UAW worker.
So, I think I more than qualify to talk about what is happening in that Party. In 2007, after basically watching the Democratic Party turn into a parody of its former self and then after watching that Party embrace the mantra of the far left, in the warm embrace of Barack Obama and using tactics straight out of Al Sharpton’s playbook to get him elected and watching the progressive biased media go lockstep with that Party —- I said, “I have had enough!” and stopped voting for Democrats for good.
I hear being said among Democrats, “The Angry White Male Voter.” Well, I have news for the Democratic Party; we have a darned good reason to be angry! The white race has been vilified by the Democratic Party, to the point of ridiculousness. The whole underlying, but nuanced, rhetoric that all white people are inherently racist; has been destructive to the Democratic Party. This sort of rhetoric has driven many a long time white Democratic Party voter away from that Party —- many of whom I know personally.
Not only that, but the policies of Barack Obama and the Democratic Party, during their 8 year reign of terror — have left many working class white people poorer than they were, when President George W. Bush was in office. The much maligned “Obamacare” being a perfect example of that. Small Businesses have been taxed to death, which caused many of them to have to layoff employees and some of them to have to go out of business.
The Bottom Line: The Democratic Party needs to go back to square one, look at their founding documents and see what that party was originally about and go from there. Because now, they are in a mess and if they do not fix the mess. They might just find themselves unable to get elected to anything.
