Do you remember who the last chair “person” of the Democratic National Committee was? Don’t spend a lot of time on it, you don’t remember Jamie Harrison, nor should you. Be grateful he held the job – the Cabbage Patch doppelganger was just about as worthless as a DNC Chair could be, overseeing the collapse of the party in historic ways. In short, I would’ve picked him to lead the party if I had a vote. The only thing better – for Republicans, anyway – might be the people Democrats picked to lead them next.
Before Democrats switched leaders, I would have preferred they keep Harrison – he was so singularly awful. But I made a mistake: I underestimated the ability of Democrats to fail; to be able to find people worse than what I figured had to be the worst possible.
I was wrong. Just when you thought Democrats had hit bottom, you realize there is no bottom for them to hit.
Their new leader is a white guy named Ken Martin. Where Harrison was a rabid leftist, Martin takes that to an extreme.
Martin came out of Minnesota, where he was the leader of the Democratic Farmers Labor Party, the DFL, which is how Democrats organized themselves up there, presumably because the old Democrat Party wasn’t radical enough.
Minnesota is in the United States, but it is not really indicative of the United States – they, unlike the country, actually elected Tim Walz, for example. Martin is more in tune with California or Massachusetts than he is where Democrats can’t win elections.
His strategy? He’s trying to sell meaningless “membership cards” that read “Proud Democrat,” that have all the officialdom of a handwritten certificate of membership in the “He-Man Woman-Haters Club,” which is now doubly funny as Democrats have “evolved” to the point that they have no idea what either of those things are anymore.
But Martin is just one symptom – an inconvenient wart that indicates deeper problems – for the party. They also picked some real winners to be his deputies.
David Hogg – who’s apparently been using DNC contacts to raise money for his own “non-profit” where he draws a hefty salary – sent out a fundraising email where he bragged, “We helped elect the first openly transgender member of Congress ever, Sarah McBride, even as millions were spent by the GOP on hate-filled, transphobic ads.”
I looked it up. “Sarah,” aka Tim, raised more than $4 million for the House race in Delaware, where John Whalen, the Republican candidate, raised $20,030. Why? Because Delaware is a liberal state known for electing morons. They sent Joe Biden to Washington for decades, and while a case could be made that they did that to get rid of him, it’s unlikely they would tolerate a moron being their voice in DC for that long simply because they didn’t want him or his family around them. Delaware is small, but it’s not that small.
No, those people are leftists and Republicans aren’t going to toss good money after bad trying to win an election where the deck is stacked, and neither would Democrats.
But Democrat voters and supporters don’t know that, an email from someone “famous” in party leadership will tap the wallets of dumb people willing to max out credit cards to fund rich people staying in positions of power so they can further enrich themselves while whining about rich people. I did mention these people are dumb, didn’t I?
Honestly, take a look at the leadership Democrats just elected – nine officers and biographies and that’s it. What kind of organization only lists names and titles with a picture of their leadership? People with nothing to show for their existence, as far as accomplishments goes. More accurately, the party elite don’t want their base to know what these people have done, as it would make the party even less popular than they already are with the American voting public.
If Republicans were able to appoint the people to lead Democrats I’d support every single one of those people. So, thank you, Democrats, we really are very grateful for your help in accomplishing our goals, keep up the great work! And please keep being obstinate on issues where 70-80 percent of the public is against you. We really appreciate it.
