MACDONALD: If Pappas Isn’t Old Guard, What Is He?

The Democrats’ moderate party dress is ripped and torn to shreds. Always an affectation, their increasingly radicalized base has smeared the lipstick on the Marxist pig and shredded all pretense. The DSA is the Democrat Party; it’s just a matter of time before the next primary election and having enough numbers to rape and ravage the Republic.

There’s been much talk of a “Democratic Civil War” going on, but I’m just not seeing it. The war is over, and much like they often do in the Middle East, the Islamist insurgents have won.

Democrats have had some heated primary fights. Mamdani v. Cuomo, the New York DSA challengers, El-Sayed v. Stevens. But even then, prominent leaders in the party have largely stayed out. To Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s credit, she was really the only heavy hitter to outright endorse Stevens over El-Sayed. …

Now, after his victory, every top Democrat is getting in line.

And?

El-Sayed hasn’t moderated an inch.

He is taking the party hostage, and rather than resist it, the party is handing him the zip ties and machine gun he’s going to do it with. …

Schumer is behind him. Kamala Harris is fundraising for him. Michigan’s other senator, Elissa Slotkin, ostensibly a moderate and definitely a presidential hopeful, is supporting him. …

Any Democrat who defends Jews can expect to get primaried by a more energetic DSA-inspired base, and why wouldn’t they? Since Trump trounced Harris, the National Party has fumbled nearly every opportunity while it loses money. It is running on not being Trump, which was how they lost in 2024. And the DSA, for all their dangerous ideas, at least has some. So, here’s the question.

We know Chris Pappas lacks the spine to push back to protect his own moderate affectations, even if they were real. I took him to the wood shed a few times on GrokTALK! Just a few hours ago. We should expect another round of aging Democrat retirements to save themselves the embarrassing burden of a brutal primary against some young DSA Bolshevik. Is a vote for Pappa a vote for the end of the Republic?

And here’s another question. If Pappas is the moderate he claims, why isn’t the DSA challenging him here? Because they know he’ll vote with them.

You don’t have to wonder if it’s true. He’s a spineless weasel. When Pelosi was Speaker, he voted with her something like 90% of the time. Current leadership is a joke, and they don’t have the majority, so it is safe to be a bit less radical, but the moment he’s confronted with radical leadership, he’ll be just like them.

New Hampshire can’t take that chance. Not in federal races, and certainly not in local and state races.

New Hampshire is a shining light of opportunity. A diamond surrounded by progressive shit. Democrats would race to undo all the good and make us indistinguishable from the managed decline that surrounds us.

Let’s not do that, eh?

It’s your money, you earned it, you should decide where it gets spent. Democrats will do anything and everything to make sure they get to do that instead. State level. Federal level. They’re all the same, and the DSA is officially the tip of the Democratic Party spear.
