Pambuyo pa kutayika koopsa kwa Hillary Clinton pafupifupi miyezi isanu ndi umodzi yapitayo, mabwenzi ake amphamvu kwambiri a Democratic adawopa kuti ataya ulamuliro pachipani. Kuyesetsa kwa lip-synch economic populism pomwe kukhala ogwirizana kwambiri ndi Wall Street kudapangitsa kuti kugonjetsedwe koopsa. Pambuyo pake, maziko achipanicho - odziwika ndi Bernie Sanders - anali okonzeka kuyamba kuwongolera gulu lamasewera.
Pogwirizana ndi Clinton, akuluakulu a Democratic Party adayenera kusintha nkhaniyi. Kuwunika komveka bwino kwa kulephera kwa tikiti yadziko kunali kowopsa ku chipanichi. N'chimodzimodzinso ndi zifukwa zokanira mwayi wachuma wopanda chilungamo. Momwemonso zinali zokakamiza kwambiri kuti chipanichi chikhale mphamvu yeniyeni yotsutsa mabanki akulu, Wall Street ndi mphamvu zamabizinesi onse.
Mwachidule, bungwe lodana ndi Bernie la Democratic Party linafunika kukonzanso nkhaniyo mwachangu. Ndipo - motsatira ndi media media - zidatero.
Kukonzanso kutha kufotokozedwa mwachidule m'mawu awiri: Kutsutsa Russia.
Pofika kumayambiriro kwa nyengo yachisanu, nkhani yapoyera inali kupita chammbali—zopindulitsa kwambiri kwa akuluakulu a zipani. Meme yodzudzula Russia ndi Vladimir Putin pazisankho za a Donald Trump idagwira bwino ntchito kuti utsogoleri wokomera wa Wall Street wa chipani cha Democratic Party achoke. Pakadali pano, kuyesa kwakukulu koyang'ana njira zomwe zimapweteketsa demokalase ku United States zadzibweretsera - kaya kudzera munjira yandalama za kampeni kapena kuchotsa anthu ochepa pamipukutu ya ovota kapena kusalungama kwina kulikonse - zidayikidwa pambali.
Kuchoka pakuwunikidwa kunali kukhazikitsidwa komwe kunapitilirabe kulamulira chipani cha Democratic Party. Panthawi imodzimodziyo, kudzipereka kwake kwa akuluakulu azachuma sikunathe. Monga Bernie adanena mtolankhani pa tsiku lomaliza la February: “Ndithu, pali anthu ena mu Democratic Party amene akufuna kusunga mkhalidwewo. Akufuna kutsika ndi Titanic bola akhale ndi mipando yapamwamba. ”
Pakati pa zovuta zazikulu komanso zoopsa zomwe zikubwera, akuluakulu achipanichi apereka ndalama zambiri pazandale powonetsa Vladimir Putin ngati munthu woipa kwambiri. Zoyenera m'mbiri zinali zosafunikira, kunyalanyazidwa kapena kukanidwa.
Ndi kutsatira mosamalitsa kuchokera kwa ma Democrat ambiri ku Congress, akuluakulu achipani adachulukitsa, kuwirikiza katatu komanso kuwirikiza kanayi ponena kuti Moscow ndiye likulu la, ndi dzina lina lililonse, ufumu woyipa. M'malo mongoyitanitsa zomwe zikufunika - kufufuza kodziyimira pawokha pazabodza zoti boma la Russia lidasokoneza chisankho cha US - chipanicho chidakhala. hyperbolic ndi unmoored kuchokera ku umboni womwe ulipo.
Poganizira zamphamvu zawo pazandale potengera ziwanda Purezidenti wa Russia Putin, atsogoleri a demokalase amayang'ana kuwona kuthekera kokhala ndi Russia kukhala kopanda phindu malinga ndi njira zawo zamasankho a 2018 ndi 2020. Ndikawerengero komwe kumawonjezera kuopsa kwa kuwonongedwa kwa zida za nyukiliya, poganizira kwambiri za zisankho za XNUMX ndi XNUMX. zenizeni kuopsa kukulitsa mikangano pakati pa Washington ndi Moscow.
Ali m'njira, akuluakulu a chipanichi akuwoneka kuti akufuna kubwerera kumtundu wina wa kampeni isanachitike Bernie. The wapampando watsopano wa Democratic National Committee, Tom Perez, sangathe kunena kuti mphamvu ya Wall Street ndi yotsutsana ndi zofuna za anthu ogwira ntchito. Izi zidadziwika bwino sabata ino pomwe adawonekera pawailesi yakanema mdziko muno.
Pakulumikizana kwa mphindi 10 kuyankhulana pamodzi ndi Bernie Sanders Lachiwiri usiku, Perez anali mawonekedwe ndendende amtundu wa mawu opanda kanthu komanso mawu otopa omwe adadzaza injini za kampeni yoyipa ya Clinton.
Ngakhale Sanders anali wolunjika, Perez anali wozemba. Pomwe Sanders amalankhula za kupanda chilungamo kwadongosolo, Perez adakhazikika pa Trump. Pomwe Sanders adalozera njira yopitira patsogolo pakusintha komwe kukupita patsogolo, Perez adangoyang'ana njira yachipongwe yomwe ikuwonetsa kuthandizira omwe akhudzidwa ndi vuto lazachuma popanda kuvomereza kuti alipo omwe akuzunzidwa.
M'njira yodabwitsa nkhani lofalitsidwa ndi Nation magazini, Robert Borosage analemba sabata yatha: "Pazopempha zonse zachangu za mgwirizano pamaso pa Trump, kukhazikitsidwa kwa chipani nthawi zonse kumawonetsa kuti akutanthauza mgwirizano pansi pa mbendera yawo. Ichi ndichifukwa chake adalimbikitsa kuti mtsogoleri wa Congress Progressive Caucus, Woimira Keith Ellison, asakhale mtsogoleri wa DNC. Ndichifukwa chake mipeni idakalipo kwa Sanders ndi omwe adamuthandizira. "
Wpomwe Bernie sakhala wotsutsa mfundo zankhondo zaku US, amatsutsa kwambiri kulowererapo kwankhondo kuposa atsogoleri a Democratic Party omwe nthawi zambiri amathandizira. Borosage adanenanso kuti kukhazikitsidwa kwa chipanichi kudatsekeredwa m'zipembedzo zankhondo zomwe zimakonda kupitiliza kubweretsa masoka omwe United States yabweretsa ku Iraq, Libya ndi mayiko ena: "Mademokalase ali pakati pa kulimbana kwakukulu kuti asankhe zomwe akuyimira komanso omwe akuimira. Zina mwa izo ndi mkangano wokhudza mfundo za mayiko akunja zomwe zalephereka kwambiri."
Kwa mapiko a chipani cha Democratic Party omwe ali ndi hawkish kwambiri - otsogola kuchokera pamwamba mpaka pansi komanso ogwirizana ndi njira ya Clinton yokhudzana ndi mfundo zakunja - boma la US lomwe lidachitika pa Epulo 6 pabwalo la ndege la Syria chinali chisonyezero chothandizira nkhondo zambiri. Kuukira kwa mnzake wapamtima wa Russia kunasonyeza kuti sikutha Kuthamangitsidwa kwa Trump ku Russia atha kupeza zotsatira zokhutiritsa zankhondo kwa akuluakulu a demokalase omwe sachita mantha pakulimbikitsa kusintha kwaulamuliro ku Syria ndi kwina.
The zandale kuukira kwa mizinga ku Syria kunawonetsa momwe owopsa ndiye kuti asunge Trump yemwe akumuvutitsa ku Russia, kumupatsa chilimbikitso pandale kuti atsimikizire kuti ali wolimba bwanji ku Russia. Zomwe zili pachiwopsezo zikuphatikizapo kufunikira koletsa mkangano wankhondo pakati pa mayiko awiri omwe ali ndi zida zanyukiliya padziko lapansi. Koma ma hawks omwe ali pamwamba pa chipani cha Democratic Party ali ndi zofunika zina.
