The founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, had strong words for the Democratic Party on Sunday, blaming the party leaders for having forced the centrism policy on their basis. This is why the Democrats are “condemned”, he wrote in an article Twitlong.
The Democratic establishment has seen the narrative energy of the party at hysteria on Russia (a state with a GDP lower than South Korea). It is very obvious that it was not for this hysteria insurgent accounts of the type promoted by Bernie Sanders would quickly dominate the basis of the party and his relationship with the public. Without the story “we have not lost – Russia”, the party’s elite and those that exist under its patronage would be purged to be electorally incompetent and ideologically passed. The collapse of the democratic vote in the past eight years is at all levels, city, state, congress and presidential.
Assange may have one point, insofar as Russia’s account consumed a large part of the media landscape that he may have overshadowed the efforts of the Democrats to regain the approximately 1,000 legislative seats she has lost in the past nine years.
Democrats have also lost the four special congress elections since January, and the sharp increase in the rate of democratic participation has failed to materialize. As Andrew O’Hehir de Salon pointed out, the reason why the races was close is that the Republicans had an equal worse turn out.
“Without collusion, we end up with the democratic establishment accusing the public of being rejected by the words of Hillary Clinton and the establishment of the Democratic Party,” wrote Assange.
There is an obvious return here: Assange and WikiLeaks have probably played a role in the electoral result in the run of emails from the pirated Democratic Party which were probably provided by Russian intelligence, either directly or by an intermediary. But the questions that Assange has asked are nevertheless valid.
“Is this a problem that the public discovered what Hillary Clinton told Goldman Sachs and what the party’s elites said about the repair of DNC primaries against Bernie Sanders?” Assange wrote. “An elite of the party which argues that it is the” crime of the century “so that the public and their adhesion discover how they behave and what they believe invite to contempt.”
Assange finished by calling for the formation of a new party. “The democratic base should move to start a new party, because the party’s elite shows no sign that they will abandon power.”
