Editorial Opinion By Charles Allen, Chief Editor, Between Community News

Between GA:     The Democratic Party, as it stands today, seems to attract only a narrow cast of characters: criminals, those struggling with mental health, illegal immigrants, and citizens unwilling to question the party’s motives. Beyond these groups, the true power lies with the politicians and corporate elites who benefit most from the party’s direction. If you’re not among those political insiders or corporate beneficiaries, ask yourself: which box are you being put into? Are you comfortable with that label, or proud to call yourself a Democrat or a liberal today?

     A closer look at the current political landscape shows that criminals are fast becoming the party’s leading voices, closely followed by those suffering mental distress and individuals oblivious to what’s happening around them. Illegal immigrants round out this coalition—yet ironically, it is these immigrants who may possess the strongest desire to contribute positively. Many were enticed and manipulated by Democratic leaders, encouraged to cross our borders illegally under false pretenses. Unlike those who misuse their status, a good number would, given a real opportunity, likely choose to follow the law, build honest lives, and expose those who have used them for political gain.

     What makes this situation so troubling is that the Democratic Party’s leadership and its corporate backers appear content to manipulate the vulnerable and exploit confusion for their own advancement. This isn’t public service—it’s exploitation disguised as governance.
