Enter the Midterm Disaster
An awakening theme associated with the Democrats-- I found three Democrats who are talking sense amidst a scene of denial over the coming eclipse of the Democratic majority Congress.
Tulsi Gabbard has arrived on Substack, leaving the Democratic Party:
I can’t find anything to disagree with, though; I wonder when Gabbard will leave the WEF and disavow her association with Klaus Schwab.
I found a few other honest Dems who are being truthful about the upcoming midterms.
Leighton Woodhouse and Ruy Teixeira:
The mid-terms are not remotely shaping up as a Democratic triumph driven by voter backlash against the Dobbs ruling.) Joe Biden’s low approval numbers, the high percentage of voters who say the country is “on the wrong track,” and widespread popular concerns about inflation and the economy more broadly – there are classic indications of coming Democratic defeat only softened a bit by the Dobbs backlash
Always start with reality, head out of the sand. Here’s the real deal: abortion ranks below other concerns including inflation, crime, jobs, immigration, voting rights, and infrastructure at the top of voters’ minds on the eve of the elections.
Cook is still too optimistic. Abortion aside, I maintain that about 15% of the electorate that followed and voted Democratic is done. I’ll provide some data below. As for myself, the forced masking of children and mandating experimental vaccine injections passed the rubicon of sanity.
As for abortion rights. Democrats need first to figure out why they abandoned bodily autonomy. What a catastrophe that seemingly unalienable rights to one's autonomy of body has gone the way of Big Pharma's $$ to politicians and media. Coney Barrett and Kavanaugh went along with it too. And most Dems cheered losing such autonomy, and now it has arrived at the doorstep of women over abortion.
The Democrats are going into a semi-wilderness moment. As a party and collective plurality, it will have to figure out how to become the champion of free speech and bodily autonomy for all again before it gets out of the coming wilderness.
NBC ran a poll showing support among blacks for Dems has dropped significantly in the past two years, down 15%, and support by Hispanics has been halved. Republicans are not the solution, but the going trend is to get rid of the problem in front of you first, and that's what is incoming this midterm. And Republicans are broadening their appeal. Republicans Set Record for Black, Latino Candidates.
The Republicans are nearly giddy:
Steve Bannon with Steve Cortes: “Big Plan= destroy the Democrat Party as a national political institution….”
It's not that Republicans have convinced the nation that they are the solution. However, the Democrats are the problem, and they have no solution!
This collective herd of Democratic Party leadership, having figured out more ways to turn off supporters than any political party in the history of politics, is going headlong over a cliff.
What this country needs is to get back to focusing on the things we have in common. It’s much more than those in power have provided to divide everyone. But that healing seems a long way off, unfortunately.
