The Democrat's Next Two Years

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags, 2026 Election, ,

Over at Townhall.com Terry Paulson published this piece, The New Democrat Congress Will Produce a Disappointing Scorecard, asking readers to view sixteen of the goals and views of the "New Democrat Party" and show their approval or disapproval.   After I read his piece I added ten more making it twenty six, but since I wanted to comment on all these positions I decided it would be better to combine them topically ending up with seven categories. 

Then after reading both commentaries ask yourself this:  Are you really happy that these are the people running this country?  Remember, they had two rants for their platform, affordability, and they hate Trump because he's a tyrant, in spite of the fact none of them have ended up in jail for the many crimes of the Biden cabal.  

1. Energy:  What's their vision for lowering the cost of energy?   The left supports more energy regulations, embraces the New Green Deal that ends the use of fossil fuels, embraces globalist environmentalist schemes as in global warming initiatives, all of which not only will raise the cost of energy, such endeavors will seriously restrict energy availability, devastating the economy.  How does that mesh with their rants about 'affordability"?

2. Lawfair: For two years all we've heard is we will impeach Trump, and now they want to impeach Hegseth, and investigate his family, every member of his administration, and any individual or commercial enterprise that supported Trump.  Is that justice or is it vicious banana nation tyranny out for revenge?  And they called Trump a tyrant? 

3. Crime:  Every Democrat running for office in Democrat strongholds claim they want to abolish the police or seriously restrict their ability to enforce the law.  San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, Portland and other leftist strongholds acted on that and turned their cities into sewers of out of control crime.  They want to abolish ICE and ignore the nation's laws on immigration and deportation, demanding deportation end, and anyone who wants to come into America should be allowed to cross over the border without restrictions and be funded by our system of welfare, and be allowed to vote even if they're not citizens.   

4. Government restructuring:  They want to pack the SCOTUS which ill destroy the Legislative and Executive branches of government as the judges chosen will be on the far left effectually legislating from the bench.  They're even discussing impeaching any Supreme Court justice aren't leftist lackeys.  They will end the Senate filibuster, which should have happened long ago,

5. End the war with Iran no strings attached.  Then what solutions will they offer when Iran resumes their undeclared war on the world via their terrorist proxies, and acquires nuclear bombs?  How they handled the withdrawal from Afghanistan might be a good example. 

6. Economics:  They want to end the tariffs that have actually had a positive impact on the economy, embrace globalism giving more control over America's sovereignty and economy to the United Nations,  End all the  fraud investigations that are costing taxpayers billions and billion of dollars.  Pass a Constitutionally dubious minimum wage income guarantee, even for those not working, including universal health care, all of which will be the vanguard of total bankruptcy.   Impose a wealth tax on the rich that will eventually be expanded to everyone, and impose an unrealized capital gains tax. 

7. Culture: They want to make abortion on demand a national right, force men into women's sports, undermine merit and accomplishment with DEI mandates, and force education all levels to lower their academic standards.    

So, how does any of that address their rants about affordability, and tyranny?   Paulson ends his article with this paragraph:  

With the presidential veto hanging over every change Democrats initiate and an inadequate majority to overcome that veto, significant success on key Democratic promises remains unlikely. They don’t even have agreement on what their agenda ought to be. The most radical socialist candidates will want more and will refuse to settle for any negotiated agreement with Trump. The Democrats may have won the midterm battle, but winning the war on the road to 2028 will be much tougher! Their success is clearly unlikely to produce the results their voters expect. With Trump having time to solidify the country’s economic success and end the war in Iran, Republicans may very well be the answer the 2028 voters will want when Democrats disappoint.
