SO, HOW FAR LEFT WILL THE PLATFORM TILT ?

by Bob Walsh

This week we will see (if we bother to watch, which I probably won't) an orgy of anti-Trump psycopathy with possibly very little else.  I will be interested to see what sort of formal party platform emerges from the Democrat Party Convention.  Besides WE HATE TRUMP.

Will they actually keep up the Medicare For All position.  I noticed that Kamala backed away a little tiny bit from that position a few days back and allowed as maybe a few people might get to keep their existing insurance.  

Will they actually keep their OPEN BORDERS plank?  I noticed that Kamal backed away from that a little bit too.  She now says she was "decriminalize" illegal border crossing, making it a civil offense rather than a criminal one.  Say HELLO to another 2 or 3 million undocumented Democrats from Central and South America if that happens.

Last I heard she still wants to regularize (.grant amnesty to ) ALL current illegal aliens.  Also the DACA people.  And of course once they are here and paying taxes they should be allowed to vote, right?  Of course right.

Reparations.  Kamala wants to have that conversation.  (Joe probably doesn't know what the word means.)  

Criminal Justice Reform.  Empty the prisons.  Take apart ICE (because they are Nazi stormtroopers).  Reimagine the police.  (Meaning less of them, with less funding, less support, less legal protection.)  Make sure law enforcement looses their qualified immunity.  If you even THINK a cop MAY have done something wrong you can sue them personally and drive them into bankruptcy even if they are eventually found not guilty of any wrongdoing whatsoever.

Are they crazy enough to actually say this shit out loud?  Can they hang on to the Bernie Bros if they DON'T actually say this out loud?

This could be fun, but it could also be terribly scary.  What if these crazy fucks actually win?.
