James Comey Warns Democrats Not to Embrace Socialism

James Comey – a man who spent most of his adult life as a registered Republican before switching sides when Hillary didn’t get elected – now finds himself as a man without a party, despised by conservatives and liberals alike.

Those on the left fault Comey for costing Hillary Clinton the Presidency by re-opening the investigation into her emails just days before the election while those on the right dislike Comey for the biased and partisan manner in which he handled both the investigations into Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton during his time as the director of the FBI.

In spite of the fact that they don’t seem to want him, though, Comey has embraced the Democratic Party, urging voters to vote Democrat in the 2018 midterms. However, he also has a dire warning for his newfound party: don’t embrace socialism.

In a tweet published July 22, James Comey said, “Democrats, please, please don’t lose your minds and rush to the socialist left. This president and his Republican Party are counting on you to do exactly that. America’s great middle wants sensible, balanced, ethical leadership.”

Whether you like Comey or not, there’s some truth to this message. As frightening as it is to see the Democratic Party openly adopt an increasingly-socialist platform, it also plays right into the GOP’s hand, giving them that much more ammunition to scare people away from voting for Democratic candidates. “If you don’t want to end up like Venezuela and every other ruined socialist country, vote Republican” certainly makes for a powerful campaign message.

Socialist candidates such as Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may still represent fringe elements of the Democratic Party, but they are the ones in the spotlight, and Republicans likely wouldn’t have it any other way.

So far, though, Democrats don’t seem to recognize the threat that this new image presents and instead see it as an opportunity to reach out to young voters who have grown increasingly distrustful of capitalism. In truth, only time will tell whether or not the Democratic Party’s bold gamble to embrace socialism will pay off. For the good of the entire nation, one can only hope that it comes back to bite them in a major way, making candidates such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez nothing more than a blip on the radar of American politics.

If socialism does indeed become a mainstay in the Democratic Party and a platform that brings them success in the elections, the results could be devastating. The two-party system in the United States pretty much guarantees that Democrats are going to have varying degrees of power in the government for the foreseeable future regardless of how disastrous their policies are. If the Democratic Party continues shifting further and further to the left in its embrace of socialism, socialist policies and ideals will no doubt play a larger and larger role in US politics.

Of course, the dire consequences that these policies bring with them are well-documented and aren’t worth rehashing here. Suffice it to say, though, that few things are able to bankrupt a wealthy and powerful nation such as the United States quite as quickly as the failed system of socialism.

Democrats would do well to listen to Comey on this issue, no matter how poor his judgment on other matters has been. So far, though, they don’t seem to be very receptive to the advice that the disgraced former FBI director is giving them. His tweet urging Democrats to steer clear of socialism was met with immediate backlash from the left, with even Brian Fallon, the press secretary for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, tweeting back at Comey, “Democrats don’t want your endorsement, but thanks.”

As the liberal media continues to fawn over Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other socialists like her, no one on the left seems to be able to see the writing on the wall: if the Democratic Party embraces socialism, either the party will fail thanks to American voters willing to fight socialism at all costs or the country will fail thanks to inevitable results that socialism brings every single time it is implemented.

Republicans who are already rolling out campaign ads tying the entire Democratic Party to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her socialist comrades are hoping that it’s just the Democratic Party that socialism ends up destroying rather than the entire nation. Anyone who knows anything about socialism and its consequences is hoping for the same.
