WikiLeaks
founder Julian Assange says the Democratic party is “doomed,”
while warning its Trump-Russia collusion narrative is a “political
dead end” that is consuming all its energy. Assange took to Twitter
on Sunday to list six reasons he believes the party is sabotaging
itself, why.
“The
Democratic establishment has vortexed the party’s narrative energy
into hysteria about Russia,” he wrote, calling the rhetoric a
“political dead end.”
“Despite
vast resources, enormous incentives and a year of investigation,
Democratic senators who have seen the classified intelligence at the
CIA such as Senator Feinstein (as recently as March) are forced to
admit that there is no evidence of collusion,” he wrote.
The
WikiLeaks founder went on to address other issues he believes are
leading to the party’s demise, including the collapse of the
Democratic vote over the past eight years, which he says has occurred
at all levels – city, state, congressional, and presidential.
“This
short-term tactic has led to the inevitable strategic catastrophe of
the white and male super majorities responding by seeing themselves
as an unserviced political identity group,” he wrote, noting
that Trump received the votes of 63 percent of white men and 53
percent of white women.
Assange
also listed the many shortcomings of the Trump administration,
including “broken promises, inequality, economy, healthcare,
militarization,” saying the Democrat party can’t really
address those issues, either, because “all its energy and it is
entangled with many of the same groups behind Trump’s policies.”
The
45-year-old went on to say that the Democratic party has integrated
itself with the “security sector and media barons,” which
leads to the perception that Democrats “act on behalf of an
entrenched power elite.”
“The
Democratic base should move to start a new party since the party
elite shows no signs that they will give up power,” he wrote.
Assange
tweeted the six points from the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where
he has been holed up for the past five years.
Although
Sweden dropped an investigation into Assange’s sexual assault
allegations last month, he has remained in the embassy to avoid being
extradited to the United States. WikiLeaks published 391,832
classified documents relating to the war in Iraq in 2010, the biggest
leak of its kind in military history.
