They are vile human beings. Make white supremacists look like saints.

A car in front of me recently at a traffic light had a political sticker on its rear bumper that read, “Leave no one behind — vote Democrat .” The message isn’t new, and I’ve seen the sticker before, but I found it freshly notable because it has surely never been more obviously false than it is today.
It expressed the quintessence of the party’s message that Democrats are for the masses, the millions of little guys, rather than the big guys who have too much power already. The Blue party supposedly considers everyone and ensures that all stragglers are given a helping hand.
In one form or another, that’s the core of almost any Democratic slogan you read or debating point you hear expressed by their legion of TV pundits. It is the justification for every item on the Left’s agenda — we’re making sure no one is stranded, hurt, forgotten, or dismissed.
But the reality is that there is an adamantine vein of contempt in Left-liberal politics for the opinions and concerns of ordinary people, who are regarded as too stupid or selfish to know what is good for them. In theory, it may be that no tiny niche is neglected, no outré caste is too small or unworthy of the Democrats’ balkanizing attention. But the great and sensible majority will, almost as a matter of principle, be ignored.
The inflation that President Joe Biden and the Democrats unleashed with two years of spending that added more than $5 trillion to the national debt, for example, has left everyone behind who hasn’t received an 18% pay increase since he took office. That would be most people.
The Left’s response to the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down racial affirmative action in college admissions is another case in point. More than twice as many members of the public oppose racial preferences in admissions than support, and a clear majority (52%-32%) support the justices ruling.
Yet the Left responded angrily to it as though the party commanded the moral high ground on behalf of enlightened and majority opinion in its opposition. Vice President Kamala Harris said the decision was “about being blind to history, being blind to data, being blind to empirical evidence about disparities, being blind to the strength that diversity brings to classrooms and boardrooms.”
