So why is the Democratic President playing along?
 Why?

I mean this is the party of the people right?

WRONG.

What we are watching is the rise of a new Democratic Coalition, and it does not include us. This happens every so often in US History. If the pattern holds, the Rs, who are already fracturing, will see the rise of a new POPULIST party. You don't believe me? Study the 1840s and 1850s Pay close attention to the Whigs, who became just as crazee as the Rs... and study what happened to the Dems and HOW the Republican party rose.

As they say... history does have patterns... but this is why the Dems are betraying their base. We are truly fully no longer the base. Either we retake it from the DLC... or wait for the process to finish, or both.

Do patterns have trends? Or do trends have patterns?
It's all so confusing and parenteral. A tempest in a tea   pot dome.

My question to nadinostradamus is this:

Since when has the Democrat been the party of the people?

One combs the history books for the answer, and comes up empty.

The Democrat party since Aaron Burr has always been a few sharpsters and con-men adept at convincing the common herd that they have the people's interests at heart.....while robbing, plundering, them blind.

Frank, the democrat party has always been the party of the people...  Except when they stood for slavery, secession, segregation and socialism.

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Every party is a "Party of the people."  Some people.

And always led by rich plantation owners seeking to protect their hold on those they enslaved for their power and profit.

It was democrats that insisted slaves count for purposes of determining how many seats in the House of Representatives they were allowed to have even though slaves could not vote. The welfare state is based on people who are not part of the system being forced to prop it up for the exclusive power gain of the dems.
