Op-ed:
The
Schism Within the Democrat Party

It
had to happen, the only question was when, but there is an answer to
the question, “When will the Democrat Party start to implode
within itself”...with the answer being, “the time is now.”And
here I speak of the growing partisan fracture within both the
Democrat hierarchy and within the party faithful itself, along with
their opposing visions for the party's future. And said fracture has
now turned into a no longer being veiled fight between what are
Democrat centrists...“Blue
Dog” or
“moderates”
if you will...and the now growing in number so-called
“Democratic Socialists,”
as in those trying to take over and control the party, and bring it
even more to the socialist far left than it is already.
But
let's be honest here in the fact that the words “Democratic Socialist,”
while being somewhat new to the political discourse, is actually just
the newest reincarnation of Barack Obama's infamous “fundamental
transformation of America”
jargon and agenda. Remember, these “Democratic Socialists”...New
York City's disgrace of a mayor, Zohran Mamdani, proudly bills
himself as one...want
nothing more than to now see our beloved America being brought down
to what they hope, and what Obama had hoped, would be her blood
stained knees.
So
while most of the centrists,
and what's left of the original JFK style Democrats...do tend to
view the actions and words of “Democratic Socialists”
as being both too progressive and quite extreme in their actual
intent, when melded together they still tend to view our country
eventually moving away
from
the very concept that has made us such an economic success. And here
I speak of “capitalism”...which
on an economic level is indeed “profit
driven,”
a concept Democrats, to one degree or another, so love
to hate. And
if “capitalism”
cannot be fully replaced, the “Democratic Socialists”
hope
that it can at least be politically manipulated
enough to lean to the left so that it becomes a partnership of
sorts...a partnership based more upon what the “Democratic Socialists”
consider to be “societal
needs”
than it is on rightfully being “profit
driven.”
But, in my opinion, I believe what the “Democrat Socialists”
really
want
to see happen
is that what starts out as being classic “interventionist”
economic reform...as in the “share
the wealth”
philosophy that I already view as being “socialism
light”...
eventually
morphs into “socialism”
in
its purist form, and then into
“communism”
itself where the government has full control of each and every aspect of one's life.
And
it was at this point that we saw both mainstream liberals and overtly
far-left progressives doubling down on their belief that the
government should and must play an active and domineering role in
regulating both the sum of our nation's economy, its foreign affairs,
as well as having to tend to the welfare of all our citizens...and
here might I add
that in this case “Democratic Socialists”
believe said welfare extends to“illegals”
as
well.
Simply,
“Big
Brother is watching you”...albeit
in a slightly different guise...does seem to be the moniker of these
so-called
“Democratic Socialist” sorts.
And with this growing faction deeply embedding itself within today's
Democrat party, what can no longer be hidden is the fact that not
only do these folks hate what America...in their opinion...has
become, but that they see their hoped for “re-transformation”
already
having
begun in earnest, courtesy of an increasing number of
“Democratic Socialist”
candidates who are now starting to win key primary elections across our nation.
And while currently said wins are mostly in what already are long
held “blue”
cities
and states, the “red
flag” is
that these
folks have been successful in usurping long held
“traditional / establishment”
Democrat seats.And
to complicate the scenario even more so is the fact that these
candidates are being helped in their endeavors courtesy of big money
donors...big money donors like the DSA (“Democratic
Socialists of America”), the
“American Priorities Super PAC,” and
of course the infamous avowed America-hating
“George Soros”
courtesy of his “Open
Society Foundations,”
just to name a few. And with the dollars continuing to grow as
“Democratic Socialists”
continue to win more and more primary elections, we are indeed
bearing witness to
Barack
Obama's
original
“transformation of America”
objectives getting a new and now expanding lease on life...which is
both sad and angering at the same time.
So
here in order to truly understand what's happening in our country
today, one must know the fundamental differences between not only both the Democrat
and Republican
parties,
but also between the “Democratic Socialists”
and actual avowed “Socialists”...with
said differences primarily being within each given party's “governance factor”
itself. For
example, what we refer to as today's Democrat party, continues to
strive for larger, more invasive government interference,
interference which not only inserts itself into ones personal whelm,
but continues to focus on what they deem to be “wealth
inequality“ (as
in we'll take from the rich and give their hard earned wealth to the
poor without the poor having to lift a finger to work for it). On the
other hand, the Republican party always strives for smaller
government interference while at the same time championing free-market
capitalism and enterprise, plus focusing on individual liberties and
responsibilities minus all the needless Democrat wanted regulations
involved in the actual running of the government.
Simply,
the line between Democrats and Republicans is in actuality an
invisible line between tangible logic, common sense, and what is
questionable societal norms, and governmental transformation.
Now
as for the differences between the new to the political discourse
so-called “Democratic Socialists,”
and those who actually do politically champion full-blown “socialism.”
While the economic and societal differences in their wants and agenda
are not as far apart as one might think,“Democratic Socialists”
want socialistic change, especially on the economic front, to where
the economy itself is collectively managed in what they alone deem to
be the public interest, all in an effort to realign existing
government policy more towards the overtly progressive left.And
while “Socialists”
do strive for that as well, the main difference between today's
“Democratic Socialists”
and
those
politically aligned with the DSA is two-fold. First,
“Democratic Socialists”
want
said realignment to happen via the
voting booth...while true “Socialists”
always see the act of revolution as an option more times than not.
And second, the former view themselves as being somewhat altruistic in
that they favor “collective
governmental management”
if it's what they deem to be in the public interest; while the later
want the government to actually takeover the ownership of all key
industries and infrastructure “on
behalf of the people”...communism-lite
if you will.
And
how exactly should we Republicans do that? The answer is not as
complicated as many would like to think, because sometimes the
simplest, easiest, and most readily available solution turns out to
be the best solution of all.
In
this case we should continue to play up the obvious political
differences not only within the different factions of the Democrat
party itself...which will help widen the fracture...but do so while
we keep pounding home the major ideological differences between the
actual “right”
and
“left”
side of the political aisle. And we should also bring major attention
to the overt failures of the Democrat party's overall agenda while at
the same time heralding Republican successes (prime of which was the
much needed sealing of our Southern border).
And
as for the Democrat candidates running, whether they be "Democratic Socialists" or not, we should stay focused on
their political stances alone, and not sink to their always used
personal level for we have one thing going for us that the Democrats
and the "Democratic Socialists"
do not, as in we still encompass the "Silent
Majority,"
and we always reawaken and unite together when the going gets tough. And know 2026 and 2028 will surely be tough, so let's show these unpatriotic sorts true American patriotism and love of country at its very best! Bring it on...we are
ready, willing, and of course able. Case closed.Copyright @ 2026 Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / All Rights Reserved.
