WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange lashed out at the Democratic Party on Sunday, accusing party leaders of imposing centrism on them. That's why Democrats are “doomed,” he said. wrote in a TwitLonger post.
The Democratic establishment has turned the party's narrative energy into hysteria about Russia (a state with a lower GDP than South Korea). It is clear that if not for this hysteria, insurgent narratives like Bernie Sanders would quickly dominate the party's base and its public relations. Without the slogan “We didn’t lose—Russia will win,” the party elite and those who exist under its patronage would be purged for electoral incompetence and an ideologically outdated approach. The collapse of the Democratic vote over the past eight years has occurred at every level: city, state, Congress and presidency.
Assange may be right, as the Russia narrative has consumed so much of the media that it may have overshadowed Democrats' efforts to win back the 1,000 or so legislative seats they hold. lost over the past nine years.

“Without collusion, we are left with the Democratic establishment blaming the public for being repulsed by the words of Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party establishment,” Assange wrote.
There is an obvious reversal here: Assange and WikiLeaks likely played a role in the election outcome by releasing hacked Democratic Party emails that were allegedly provided by Russian intelligence either directly or through an intermediary. But the questions Assange posed are nonetheless relevant.
“Is it a problem that the public learned what Hillary Clinton said to Goldman Sachs and what the party elite said about fixing the DNC primary against Bernie Sanders?” Assange wrote. “Party elites who claim it is the 'crime of the century' for the public and its members to find out how they behave and what they believe are despicable.”
Assange ended with a call for the creation of a new party. “The Democratic base must begin to build a new party as the party elite shows no signs of relinquishing power.”
