The world is laughing at Democrats after their televised national convention was a parade of unbridled wokeness that proved they’re only going to double down on their most ridiculous policies that led to their collapse in the last election.
They took gender fluidity to its absurd conclusion and used “non-binary” rules to exclude women; elected a toxic nutcase their vice chairman; condemned themselves for holding a convention on “stolen Indian land”; denied the basic reasons that Kamala Harris lost as badly as she did.
Instead of reflecting on how out of touch they’ve become, Democrats appear prepared to spend the next two years attempting to… overturn the will of the American voters. Again.
As the Wall Street Journal put it:
The Democratic brand is in the toilet, with a recent Wall Street Journal poll showing 60% of Americans view the party unfavorably while only 36% see it favorably. Democrats lost ground with nearly every demographic group last November, including minorities, women, low-income voters and those without college degrees. […]
Yet as the would-be leaders bickered over party mechanics, the very pathologies that many critics argue have alienated Democrats from the American heartland were on display: a party captive to leftist activists, obsessed with divisive litmus tests, out of touch with regular people’s concerns and in thrall to a patronizing identity politics that alienates many of the very minorities it is meant to attract. Nor did anyone dare to argue that the prior administration’s failures might have contributed to voters’ sour view of Democrats, that Biden dragged the party down or that Harris was a mediocre candidate. The party’s outgoing chairman, Jaime Harrison, has been giving interviews standing by his view that Biden should not have dropped out of the presidential race; his would-be successors had nothing but praise for his tenure. The party’s leaders were vowing to turn the page, but it was clear many things have yet to change.
Good times ahead for Republicans!
