What happened to the Democratic party?

 

Great read about all the shady sh *t the Left has done. Does the Right go scorched earth after the midterms?

Victor Davis Hanson is a 21st century Jefferson. There must be something about being tied to the land. Too bad that so many little idiots are taught now to see Jefferson first as a former slave-owner, and little more.

That is a great laundry list of Dewmarxist failure since the Biden term began.

If we end up with neocons in the lead, it will be all deal-making and dilution, when we really need a lot clarification and a bit of destruction.

#11 now transitioning to Marxism.
 
Obummer sez -

“It is difficult for me to see how we win the contest of ideas if in fact we are not able to agree on a baseline of facts that allow the marketplace of ideas to work,” he said. In other words, liberal control of the media is essential to liberalism’s political victories. What Obama calls a “baseline of facts” is nothing more than the ratified propaganda of a self-appointed liberal ruling class. He is in effect saying that liberal elites should have the unfettered power to tell the people what they can and can’t discuss.

This conception of the media is, of course, totalitarian, not democratic. Under it, the arbiters of the “baseline of facts” exist to stifle the speech most critical to the safeguarding of democracy. Anne Applebaum’s haughty dismissal of the Hunter Biden laptop story is a perfect illustration of Obama’s preferred media at work. Applebaum, who appeared at the same conference as Obama, didn’t deny the story’s accuracy but simply declared it unworthy of consideration by the peasants in selecting a president.


This guy hates the very concept of America. He definitely needs "new ideas" in place of history. History is a bigger enemy to his goals than even free speech. He needs dummies.

edit - I guess his particular brand of "dummies" are already named. "Useful Idiots"

The collective mood of Democratic insiders has darkened appreciably in recent weeks.


Pollsters and prognosticators are forecasting increasingly dire results for their party in the November midterm elections. Inflation, the No. 1 issue on the minds of voters, is accelerating. And despite a booming job market, the president’s average approval rating hasn’t budged since January, when it settled into the low 40s.


“Are you calling to ask me about our impending doom?” one Democratic strategist quipped at the outset of a recent phone call.


“The vibes just feel very off,” said Tré Easton, a progressive consultant.


Others use words like “horrible” and “debacle” to describe a political environment that has gone from bad to worse over the last three months. Many fault the White House for steering President Biden too far to the left as he sought to pass social spending legislation stuffed with progressive priorities. Some see the president as a wounded figure who has failed to establish himself as the unequivocal leader of his fractious party.


“It’s going to be a terrible cycle for Democrats,” said Doug Sosnik, a former political adviser to Bill Clinton. Democrats have only a matter of weeks, he said, to try to alter the contours of a race that will largely be determined by factors beyond their control.


One sign of the alarm rippling through the party: Some Democratic politicians have begun creating distance between themselves and the president. Senate candidates are stampeding to break with the administration’s immigration policies, for instance. Other moves are more subtle, such as those of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, who quietly removed the president’s name from news releases about federally funded infrastructure projects.


“What you’re seeing is people feeling like it’s time to head for the lifeboats rather than trying to steer the ship,” said Robert Gibbs, a former White House press secretary who worked under Barack Obama.


A sense of fatalism is setting in among many, with discussions centering increasingly on how to limit the party’s expected losses rather than how to gain new seats. In Arizona, for example, some Democrats are losing confidence that they will be able to flip the State House, a major target for national party strategists this year.
 

New York’s Gerrymander Gets Whacked​

A Democratic plan to pick up four House seats is voided by the courts.​

When Albany passed a House reapportionment plan in February, we called it a jerrymander, since it forced Rep. Jerry Nadler’s New York City district to perform contortions worthy of Cirque du Soleil. Democrats drew that map intending to send four congressional Republicans into early political retirement.

But the Legislature was too obviously eager to take partisan advantage, and on Wednesday a majority on the state’s highest court blocked the gerrymander. Voters in 2014 amended New York’s constitution to hand redistricting to an independent commission, as well as to prohibit the drawing of lines for raw partisan ends. Albany thumbed its nose at voters the first chance it got.

The redistricting commission hit a stalemate and offered two competing plans. Then the Democratic Legislature, as Chief Judge Janet DiFiore explains, “responded by creating and enacting maps in a nontransparent manner controlled exclusively by the dominant political party.” The judicial majority says new lines will have to be drawn by a nonpartisan special master, overseen by a lower court. Primary elections on June 28 might have to be postponed.
What a mess Democrats in Albany made for themselves. President Trump won 38% of New Yorkers in 2020. Republicans now hold eight of its 27 House seats, or 30%. The Legislature’s map would have given the GOP an advantage in only four districts, or 15%. Maybe if Albany had been less greedy, it could have gotten away with something.

GOP Rep. Nicole Malliotakis is probably reveling in her improved shot at re-election. Under the Legislature’s plan, her Staten Island district would have swept up to include liberal Park Slope, Brooklyn. Executing that maneuver is what turned Mr. Nadler’s district into a drunken snake. Who knows how a special master will redo the map, but it will probably be better for Ms. Malliotakis.

The broader point is that this rebuke by New York’s top court, with every judge appointed by a Democratic Governor, puts the lie to the party’s holier-than-thou pose on redistricting. For years gerrymandering generally favored Democrats nationwide, and back then it was treated as a brute fact of political life. As soon as it looked as if Republicans might gain an edge, Democrats began calling it a danger to the republic. New York proves that was a charade all along.
 

Always cheating.....getting very scared... ? :LOL::ROFLMAO:


Amazing how Eric Holder and his Soros-funded Act Blue marxist organization doesn't bother with the gerrymandered blue states - they are ok; but by God he tries to run roughshod over Ohio and our process by buying off leftists justices.

These are SICK people. Keep an eye on them, everywhere, all the time.
