Democrats Will Never Win Without Doing Something For The Left. Also, They Will Never Do Anything For The Left.

I would have thought that those who place women’s rights as their primary issue might have worked to find common ground with those who oppose genocide and nuclear war. Like, even if nuclear war wasn’t your #1 issue, it might at least check in at #5 or maybe #7. After all, most people who don’t want to support a candidate who abets a genocide — and who certainly has done nothing to oppose it — also support the right of a woman to choose what she does with her own body.

They were — all of them — willing to vigorously defend his competency to do the job and badmouthed anyone who even slightly suggested he was not. But the word came down from the establishment Democrats and the Hollywood elite like George Clooney, and they pivoted as effortlessly as a dervish to support another candidate with a similar level of awareness. Joe Biden has been put so far in their rear view mirror it’s as though he never existed. Old wine, new bottle.
I have tried to get to the heart of the reason Democratic voters are so slavishly obedient…
