Emva kwelahleko ebuhlungu kaHillary Clinton malunga neenyanga ezintandathu ezidlulileyo, awona mahlakani akhe anamandla eDemokhrasi ayesoyika ukuphulukana nolawulo lweqela. Iinzame ze-lip-synch economic populism ngelixa zihlala zibotshelelwe ngokusondeleyo kwi-Wall Street zikhokelele ekoyisweni kwentlekele. Emva kwesiphumo, isiseko seqela esiqhubela phambili - esimntwisiweyo nguBernie Sanders - sasikwimeko yokuqalisa ukutsiba ibhodi yemidlalo yeshishini.
Ngokuhambelana noClinton, i-elite yeDemocratic Party kufuneka itshintshe umxholo. Uvavanyo olucacileyo lokungaphumeleli kwetikiti lesizwe lube yingozi kubume beqela. Kwakunjalo nangezizathu zokuchaswa kwelungelo lezoqoqosho elingafanelekanga. Kukwanjalo ke noxinzelelo olusezantsi lokuba itheko libe ngamandla wokwenene wokucela umngeni kwiibhanki ezinkulu, iWall Street kunye namandla oshishino ngokubanzi.
Ngokufutshane, ukusekwa kweDemocratic Party's anti-Bernie kuye kwafuneka ukuba iphinde iphinde iqale intetho ngokukhawuleza. Kwaye-ngokuhambelana nemidiya yoluntu-yenzile.
Ukuhlengahlengiswa kwakhona kunokushwankathelwa ngamagama amabini: Cala iRashiya.
Ekuqaleni kobusika, intetho yesidlangalala yayisiya ecaleni—inceda kakhulu abo bakwiqela leqela. Imeme yokubeka ityala iRussia kunye noVladimir Putin ngonyulo lukaDonald Trump ngokusebenzayo ukuyekela ubunkokeli obunobuhlobo beWall Street yeqela lesizwe leDemocratic Party. Ngeli xesha, iinzame ezinzulu zokugxila kwiindlela amanxeba kwidemokhrasi e-United States azenzele wona-nokuba kungenkqubo yezemali yephulo okanye ukucocwa kwabancinci kuluhlu lwabavoti okanye naliphi na inani lenkqubo yokungabikho kokusesikweni-kwabekelwe bucala.
Ukuphela kokuphononongwa kukusekwa okuqhubekileyo ukulawula ubume beqela leDemocratic Party. Kwangaxeshanye, ukuzinikela kwayo kubantu abakumgangatho ophezulu kwezoqoqosho akuzange kuthotywe. Njengoko UBernie xelelwe intatheli ngomhla wokugqibela kaFebruwari: “Ngokuqinisekileyo kukho abantu abathile kwiDemocratic Party abafuna ukugcina imeko ikhoyo. Bangathanda ukuhla neTitanic logama nje benezihlalo zodidi lokuqala.”
Phakathi kobunewunewu obukhulu kunye nentlekele ezayo, ulawulo lwangoku lweqela lityale imali enkulu yezopolitiko ekuboniseni uVladimir Putin njengendoda ekhohlakeleyo. Efanelekileyo imbali yayingenamsebenzi, ingahoywa okanye yaliwe.
Ngokuthobela ngokunyanisekileyo uninzi lweeDemokhrasi kwiCongress, iqela labaphezulu liphindwe kabini, liphindwe kathathu kwaye liphindwe kane kwibango eligxininisayo lokuba iMoscow likomkhulu, ngalo naliphi na elinye igama, ubukhosi obungendawo. Kunokuba ubize nje into efunekayo - uphando oluzimeleyo ngokwenyani kwizityholo zokuba urhulumente waseRussia waphazamisa unyulo lwase-US - umgca weqela waba. I-hyperbolic kunye ne-unmoored kubungqina obukhoyo.
Ngokunikwa utyalo-mali lwabo lwezopolitiko olunamandla ekudambiseni uMongameli waseRussia u-Putin, iinkokeli zeDemokhrasi zijolise ekuboneni ukubanakho koxinzelelo kunye neRussia njengento engalunganga ngokwesicwangciso sabo sonyulo luka-2018 no-2020. yokwenyani iingozi ngokunyuka kwengxabano phakathi kweWashington neMoscow.
Endleleni, amagosa aphezulu eqela abonakala ezimisele ukubuyela kuhlobo lwe-doldrums yangaphambi kwe-Bernie. I usihlalo omtsha weKomiti yeSizwe yeDemokhrasi, uTom Perez, akakwazi ukuzisa ukuba amandla eWall Street aphikisana neemfuno zabantu abasebenzayo. Loo nyaniso ifike ekukhanyeni kabuhlungu kule veki ngethuba ebonakala ngqo kumabonakude wesizwe.
Ngexesha lokudibanisa imizuzu eyi-10 udliwanondlebe kunye noBernie Sanders ngoLwesibini ebusuku, uPerez wayeyifonti yohlobo lwe-trite ye-slogans engenanto kunye ne-platitudes egugileyo eyayifake ii-injini zephulo elibi likaClinton.
Ngelixa uSanders wayethe ngqo, uPerez wayebaleka. Ngelixa uSanders wayethetha ngokungekho sikweni kwenkqubo, uPerez walungisa uTrump. Ngelixa uSanders wayekhomba indlela eya phambili yotshintsho oluyinyani nolufikelela kude, uPerez wabambelela kwifomula ebonisa inkxaso kumaxhoba ocwangco lwezoqoqosho ngaphandle kokuvuma ubukho bamaxhoba.
Kwi-incisive inqaku papashwa ngu Wesizwe uRobert Borosage wabhala kwiveki ephelileyo: “Kuzo zonke izicelo ezingxamisekileyo zomanyano ebusweni bukaTrump, ukusekwa kweqela bekusoloko kucacisa ukuba bathetha umanyano phantsi kwebhanile yabo. Yiyo loo nto baye bahlanganisana ukugcina inkokeli yeCongressional Progressive Caucus, ummeli uKeith Ellison, ukuba abe yintloko ye-DNC. Yiyo loo nto iimela zisaphumile kuSanders kunye nabo bamxhasayo. "
WNgelixa uBernie engengomchasi othembekileyo wemigaqo-nkqubo yemfazwe yase-US, ugxeka kakhulu ungenelelo lomkhosi kuneenkokeli zeDemocratic Party ezihlala ziyintshatsheli. U-Borosage uqaphele ukuba ukusekwa kweqela kutshixiwe kwiimfundiso zomkhosi ezithanda ukuqhubeka nokuzisa uhlobo lweentlekele ezithe i-United States izisa e-Iraq, eLibya nakwamanye amazwe: "Iidemokhrasi ziphakathi komzabalazo omkhulu wokugqiba ukuba bamele ntoni kwaye bamele bani. Inxalenye yaloo nto yingxoxo-mpikiswano ngomgaqo-nkqubo wamazwe angaphandle ongenelele kabini oye wasilela ngokugqithisileyo."
Olona phiko lweDemocratic Party lwe-hawkish - elona lilawulayo ukusuka phezulu ukuhla kwaye lidibene nendlela kaClinton's de facto neocon kumgaqo-nkqubo wangaphandle - urhulumente wase-US ngo-Epreli we-6 uhlaselo lomjukujelwa ngenqanawa kwibala leenqwelomoya laseSyria yayiluphawu lokwenyuka kokwenyani kwimfazwe eyongezelelekileyo. Olo hlaselo kwihlakani elisondeleyo laseRashiya lwabonisa ukuba alupheli Ukuhlaselwa kukaTrump eRussia banokufumana iziphumo ezonwabisayo zasemkhosini kubaphathi beDemokhrasi abangoyikiyo ekuxhaseni kwabo utshintsho lolawulo eSyria nakwezinye iindawo.
The eqhutywa yipolitiki uhlaselo lomjukujelwa eSiriya lubonise indlela nobungozi kukugcina i-Russia-baiting Trump, imnika inkuthazo yezopolitiko ukubonisa ukuba unzima kangakanani eRussia emva kwayo yonke into. Into esemngciphekweni iquka ukunyanzeliswa kokuthintela ungquzulwano lomkhosi phakathi kwamazwe amabini anamandla enyukliya ehlabathi. Kodwa ookhetshe abaphezulu beqela leDemocratic Party banezinye izinto eziphambili.
