Primary Day: Socialism is on the Ballot and Voters Are Fed Up
The United States is not just facing a political crisis—it’s undergoing a cultural unraveling, with socialism not just on the ballot but being celebrated as a solution to America’s deepest problems, despite the economic and social wreckage that has followed in its wake. From Los Angeles, where reality TV star Spencer Pratt—no political experience, no policy background—is surging by promising to end homelessness and crime, to Maine, where former fitness CEO Ben Midgley is challenging bureaucratic stagnation with a business-first message, the nation is witnessing a revolt against the political establishment. But this isn’t a movement for reform—it’s a reckoning with a Democratic Party that has embraced radical left candidates with extremist pasts, violent histories, and ties to terrorist organizations like Hamas, all while accusing conservatives of Nazism. Julian Epstein exposes the hypocrisy: a party that once championed free enterprise now glorifies deconstructionism, resentment, and anti-Israel rhetoric, driving away Jews, centrists, and moderates. The White House’s failure to engage music promoters for the 250th anniversary celebrations isn’t a minor oversight—it’s a symptom of a deeper dysfunction, while Iran uses ceasefire talks to expand Hezbollah’s power in Lebanon, and the Biden administration’s silence on Joe Biden’s cognitive decline feels less like leadership and more like a coordinated cover-up.
Spencer Pratt, a reality TV host with no political experience, is gaining momentum in Los Angeles by promising to fix homelessness and crime, backed by celebrities like Bill Maher and Doug Ellin.
Ben Midgley, a former Crunch Fitness CEO, is running for governor in Maine as a business outsider, appealing to voters disillusioned with bureaucratic failure.
The Democratic Party is embracing over 30 left-wing candidates with extremist backgrounds, including ties to Hamas and violent pasts, revealing a dangerous ideological hypocrisy.
Julian Epstein argues that the Democratic Party’s embrace of socialism reflects a political class that doesn’t understand wealth creation and instead promotes resentment and deconstructionism.
The Biden administration’s continued presence is seen as a cover-up of Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, with Jill Biden’s public defense of her husband labeled a 'con job'.
