The Democratic Party is facing criticism from various angles as it reaffirms its new platform perceived as increasingly socialist, with costs estimated at $4 trillion, prompting concerns about its potential impact on American society. Critics, including former Trump adviser Sebastian Gorka, describe the party as a 'cult' that prioritizes party affiliation over policies, while others note a shift in political ideologies, suggesting that conservative stances are now being adopted by the left. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris's evolving stance on immigration has sparked debate, particularly as she prepares for the presidential race following Joe Biden's withdrawal. The recent Democratic National Convention has rejuvenated party enthusiasm, driven primarily by fears of Trump's policies rather than confidence in the Harris-Walz campaign. Opponents argue that the party's direction mirrors authoritarian regimes, raising alarms about the implications for civil liberties and governance. Amidst this political turmoil, there are calls from the left for a more radical alternative to challenge the existing political duopoly in America.
