The Democratic war party driven by neocons in Washington and a president beholden to the Israel American lobby, continued United States war policies that was the modus operandi for nearly 80 years. For example, of the seven Democratic presidents in office since 1945, only one-term president Jimmy Carter managed to avoid war. Today, Democrats and Republicans are all in with military adventurism all over the globe with proxy wars in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon and the Ukraine. It's a booming business for war profiteers in the military industrial complex. Even on his way out of office one of President Joe Biden's last foolish and irresponsible acts was to make sure that there was a dangerous escalation in the Russia/Ukraine war that now threatens to directly involve its European quisling colonial client states.
Biden and his war hawks in the Administration have scuttled what's left of America's moral compass as they continue to give Israel an exception from international law and United Nations condemnation. But drunk with their own self-aggrandizement, political hubris and hegemonistic impulses, Democrats are unlikely to change course given the duopoly of American political life. Indeed, the only difference between the Democratic and Republican parties is the degree to which they are prepared to go in the quest for more and more power. They many disagree with processes, some policies and strategies, but in the end, they are simply two faces of the same corporate party.
Now that one party controls all three branches of government plus the United States Supreme Court, there is the very real possibility that the Democratic Party will be in the political doldrums for more than a decade. That is unless it abandons its present war politics and trajectory in favor of respect for its own "rules-based world order." On its present course the party will continue to lose elections and heighten the disillusionment of the base that it so foolishly abandoned in 2024.
