The Democratic Party, a straw house carried by Hurricane Trump? – release

« On the full rout »analyzes the expert that Release Asked about the state of the American Democratic Party. « Missing scope »make fun of the tabloids by evoking the silence of Kamala Harris since His resounding defeat in November. Where did the Democrats go, just wonders anyone in the face of the absences of the American left since the enthronement of Donald Trump? It is true that the Democratic Party looks like a straw house carried by Hurricane Trump. Some are surprised by this prolonged KO. It is however in the order of things after an electoral defeat of such magnitude, which, all guarded, resonates for us French with the punch received in 2002 by Lionel Jospin. That such a rout puts the HS democratic apparatus, and that its main personalities remain in absent subscribers, is not surprising. The blow was tough. It will take a little time on the left to recover.

Above all, she will need a little time to think about the reasons for this defeat, analyze them, offer levers to bounce back. It is obviously contradictory with the tactics imposed by the American president, a sort of XXL version of the permanent agitation proposed by a Sarkozy with us from 2005, even if, again, comparison is not right. Taking the time is especially not very compatible with the not so distant perspective of midterms, generally favorable to opposition. But one thing seems almost certain: to be content to denounce the « Debbles » Donald Trump will certainly have fun (since they are very real!), Certainly not to bounce back and offer an alternative to the popular electorate that believed in the Mirage Trumpist. No doubt the Democrats can also make their backs round and count on the consequences of the errors at work at the White House. This bet would not only be lazy, but risky and not up to par, as the reactionary wind blows hard, and so much the democratic software needs to be regenerated from the inside.
