✪ Modern-day Democrats have to go through the motions of campaigning, and they have to go through the motions of trying to win the hearts and minds of voters. And they resent the Hell out of it. In their world, it’s the one thing standing in their way: This need, the insistence to win elections. As soon as they can figure out a way to eliminate elections, they’ll do it.”
Today’s Democrats are engaged in a full-court press to pass legislation that would brush state election safeguards aside and codify the shenanigans of 2020 into Federal Law. They’ll nuke the filibuster if they can, a step never taken previously for high-priority legislation but pursued now in a bill that nobody is marching in the streets for. Anything to cement themselves into a permanent position of power.
As Joe Biden himself said, “It’s about election subversion, not just whether or not people get to vote. Who counts the vote? That’s what this is about, that’s what makes this so different from anything else we’ve ever done.” Indeed.
The Voters Aren’t Clamoring For Democrat Priorities
It’s hard to be a Democrat today. Just ask Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. After promising to hold a vote to eliminate the filibuster and force through passage of their “voting rights” bill by Martin Luther King Jr. Day (January 17), he had to push his deadline back yet once again.
Of course this comes on the heels of a stinging rebuke of by the Supreme Court over the the Biden Administration’s Covid vaccine mandate. Another failure preceded by the “Build Back Better” failure stalled in the Senate, perhaps forever.
Party leaders are upset, but the truth of the matter is voters have very little enthusiasm for any of this. There are no marches or protests in support of the mandates. Nor is there any grassroots demand for Build Back Better or the federalization of state elections. In a recent poll, support for the filibuster has only grown the fastest since the Democrats began their push to eliminate it (53/27 approval to disapproval margin).
Democrats Mistakenly Double Down
Democrats may be failures at policy, but they’ve always been reliably competent at the political gaming by devising new ways to misrepresent votes with great precision. Have you noticed lately they haven’t quite been themselves ?
Even after a brutal shellacking in Virginia & New Jersey statewide elections last November when most sane politicians typically learn from defeat; they doubled down instead. In her usual well-reasoning manner, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., commented after the electoral bloodbath how Democrat candidates were not defeated because of the President’s agenda, but because they hadn’t done enough to “excite, speak to, or energize a progressive base.”
Never mind voters knew what was at stake and clearly rejected it.
One would think older and more seasoned politicians might have guided the young House member back to reality, but the ragin’ Cajun himself, James Carville, only sparked her outrage by saying that “stupid wokeness” had cost the Democrats. James comes from the era of old-school politics, one that abided by the cardinal rule: “Never piss off voters.” He’s surely aware of its corollary: “If you do, then turn back – ASAP.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should have also known better, but she responded, “no, no,” when asked if the election results in Virginia and New Jersey would cause Democrats to rethink their plans. Full steam ahead.
The Democrats Are Out Of Touch
The President lamented how his big ticket bills still hadn’t been passed before Election Day; and then concluded, “but I’m not sure I would have been able to change the number of very conservative folks who turned out in red districts that were Trump voters.”
For a politician who’s already been in public office for almost 50 years, that kind of logic seems disturbingly unhinged. How exactly does one surmise both the party’s losses were due to not passing the big agenda soon enough (AOC’s position), and that it would not have mattered anyway because, you know, the red wave was coming? Excuses, blindness, or something else? It’s hard to know.
So we’re left to ponder: Have Democrats lost their ability to navigate the public opinion? Does it really even matter to them anymore? With the midterm elections just 10 months away, and the polls moving away from Democrats, will they continue to walk off the electoral cliff or bring themselves back to reality?
No Compromise
To his credit, former president Bill Clinton, who also experienced a party shellacking in a midterm, reacted sensibly. He called the new Republican Speaker of the House and asked how they could best work together. The result was a Democrat president signing on to welfare reform and abandoning his unpopular quest for government-run universal health care. Voters rewarded him with re-election.
Nothing seems to faze Joe, though. No compromise ever seems possible. There are, of course, times it’s noble to dig one’s heels in. Faced with an ever approaching enemy, Winston Churchill proclaimed, “Never give in, never give in, never, never, never — in nothing, great or small, large or petty — never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.” Where is the honor and good sense in ignoring the sentiment of voters who now give this president only an embarrassing 33 percent approval rating?
Instead of finding common values to unite the nation, Biden name calls those who disagree with him a bunch of racists. “Do you want to be the side of Dr. King or George Wallace?,” Biden pontificated in a speech pushing his “voting rights” bill. “Do you want to be the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor? Do you want to be the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis? This is the moment to decide, to defend our elections, to defend our democracy.”
Churchill battled the Nazis. Biden battles half of the country who simply disagrees with his party on matters of policies — that is, who should control state elections — and whether we should suddenly abandon a Senate rule that’s existed for more than 200 years.
This Is Not The Will Of The People
Instead of being who his moderate voters mistakenly believed him to be and simply engaging Republicans to find common ground legislation policy for which voters would reward him, Biden remains ideologically rigid & ensconced in a White House driven by leftist special interest groups — venturing out to speak only to his own party’s caucus.
Facing a headwind of opposition, he told a group of fellow Democrats on the Hill, “I don’t know that we can get this done … but I know one thing, as long as I have a breath in me … I’m going to be fighting to change the way these legislatures have moved.” Perhaps that’s the problem, Mr. President. You’re pushing an agenda rather than the will of the people.
Real Clear Politics notes that “it isn’t accidental that, in the generic ballot … the Democrats’ current vote share is 42.8%, nearly mimicking Biden’s.”
And “what does [RCP’s model] tell us about 2022? … a Republican-controlled Senate starts to come into the picture when Biden’s job approval falls to around 51% and becomes the most likely outcome at around 48%.” Biden is now at 42 percent approval in the RCP average, and that math should be clear to Democrats — but somehow, they seem to be unconcerned.
Maybe there’s logic in their reason, & a method to their madness. After pulling off the statistic-bending, six-fold swing-state wonder in the wee hours of election night 2020, Democrats now have reason to believe they’re no longer accountable to anyone. Public opinion and polls become meaningless when you control the election process, when the courts turn a blind eye, and when the media blocks any honest inquiry.
Rush was right. Democrats are now working harder than ever to change the election system instead of changing your mind about them because as their actions demonstrate, they really don’t care what you think. They just want to win. ✪
