Several Democrats honestly believe that the reason they were drubbed in recent elections was because they hadn't been able to pass most of the agenda they were pushing. They seem to have no clue that the voters thought they were going too far in the first place. So, they believe that what they have to do is make sure they pass the far left socialist programs they were pushing. And, the funny part is, they also honestly believe that their BBB will decrease inflation. What a joke.
Nah, they just have to find a new way to cheat.... and the next time the GOP loses an election...by golly...that means they would have found it!
I love that the GOP has lost every popular vote since 1990 for President (except 2004) but somehow the DNC is the one with a messaging problem. Wow.
That being said, the DNC is tone-deaf in more ways than one when it comes to
joe lunchbucket. Two things come to mind.
I was listening to
Wait Wait Don't Tell Me a few years back. For those of you who don't know, it is a game show on NPR where they have listeners call in and play games. One of the games is called "bluff the listener" where their 3 panelists tell a story from this week's news...but only one of the three stories is true. If the listener picks the right story, they get a prize. Well, the set up for this game was interesting vacation offerings (I promise I'm getting to the point) for those on a budget. The host is not playing the game. He's making a statement. On this segment, he sets up the game by stating the following--paraphrasing--"As most of us know, $4,000 isn't going to go very far on a vacation...." and the 3 panelists each told a story of someone offering a unique vacation for $4K. I don't know about you guys but for $4K...I can have a ******* incredible vacation. Maybe I'm just a savvy traveler...
At about the same time, another show I listened to--a news podcast--has these commentators. The host can bring up topics that they discuss for 10-15 minutes and at the end they each get about 3 minutes to talk about whatever they want. The host brought up the fire at Notre Dame and these three commentators (I think you could call them all left or center-left safely) sat around and whined about losing this cathedral for a good 15 minutes citing the "many times" they were over there. Again, I don't know about you guys but Notre Dame catching fire didn't make me sad. I wish it hadn't burned of course but did this really shake the timbers of someone's life so much that it warranted this sort of attention? I would imagine many just kind of rolled their eyes at this caterwauling. What's next...are they going to interrupt regular programing to announce that Zabar's is closing their upper west side location? The horror...the horror.
I'm sure there are many others that are out there--examples of left wing tone deafness but these stick out, to me, as very good examples because it isn't really a matter of a liberal saying to a conservative... "Can you believe _____________"? to where the conservative is thinking....
duh. But this was liberals talking to other liberals--it's not secret that one usually seeks the entertainment that aligns with their values-- and saying "Can you believe ______________" and myself and I think a lot of other wage earning lefties who were listening are thinking..."What in the hell are you talking about?" and "Get over it" respectively.
As for losing Virginia...Macullife isn't exactly an uber popular guy so I'm not too devastated by this loss. The midterms are usually a blood bath for whomever holds the Oval and 2022 will be no different. If Biden is a one-term President...you can probably start writing the first draft of the current makeup of the DNC's eulogy. Clinton's triangulation strategies are clearly gone in favor of gender confusion and a political machine that looks like it's herding cats.
Sorry for the tangent. LOL
