Americans of ALL races, sexes, sexualities, religions, nationality.... deserve so much more than a bunch of uber liberals assholes claiming only they can "save" them....

But here’s the fun part: No Democrat, including the party’s new critics, dissents from the notion that their common cause is protecting “our democracy.” Nancy Pelosi on ABC: “Nothing less is at stake than our democracy.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to the New Yorker magazine: “What we risk is having a government that perhaps postures as a democracy, and may try to pretend that it is, but isn’t.”
This is almost wholly about Donald Trump’s clinical obsession that the 2020 election was “rigged.” If that’s the Democratic Party’s unifier, then by all means they should ride the Trump voting-fraud horse until it drops.
History may thank former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey for pulling the plug on the Trump Twitter account. With Mr. Trump’s post-midnight tweets no longer blotting out the U.S. political sun, Democrats have to stand before voters with their own policies and behavior. The recall vote in San Francisco was a portent, summed up in this remark to the Washington Post by a recall organizer:
“I’ve always thought of myself as a progressive—until now, recently, when I’m looking at this situation,” said Siva Raj. “I’m shocked—like, how can progressives be for something like this? This is not me. These are not the values that I buy anymore.”
Democratic self-reflection after the startling schools defeat in San Francisco and Glenn Youngkin’s gubernatorial win in Virginia may reflect the natural ebb and flow of American politics. But it isn’t enough.
The progressive problem is deeper than the Democratic Party’s loss of independents. The left achieved a fundamental ideological transformation that has gone unanswered by liberals for years, starting in the universities. Liberal academics who spoke out were censured by administrators and shunned by colleagues.
Then when novel ideas about identity, race and gender—now being criticized as a liability because they alienate non-base voters—marched toward the country’s cultural and corporate institutions, liberals held the doors open. Coercion had become king.
A midcourse November correction won’t change that. Only a resounding midterm defeat will force a necessary revision of these destructive ideas. The Democrats deserve to lose. They’ve earned it.
