That the priorities of Democrats are different from those of normal people should come as a surprise to no one, as most people don’t obsess and swear loyalty to the idea of cutting the genitals off children. But this is what the left lives for – condemning anyone who won’t grab a scalpel and join in. So, the idea that we normal people don't have much in common with them is not shocking; it’s a testament to our sanity.
On Christmas Day, I got an email from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) under the subject line, “re: Postal workers’ thank you card.” When I read it, I kind of stopped and wondered what it was, above and beyond their jobs, the Post Office had done to warrant a thank you. The answer was a resounding “nothing.”
Honestly, the people who have spent years demonizing the police at every turn – all police, no matter the reason, no matter the cause, without exception – never sent out an email telling donors to “thank police.” Could you imagine the absolute fecal storm that would happen if an intern accidentally sent an email like that? I can see the marches and cities burning already.
But, instead of the police, it’s the postal employees. Nothing against postal workers, but I don’t recall them doing anything other than their jobs, and there is nothing special about simply doing your job. The “thanking” is the pay, the benefits and the pension. (Not to mention the massive subsidies from taxpayers to cover the operating costs.)
To Democrats, however, the email opens, “Postal workers are the HEROES of our holiday season!” Jesus isn’t the reason for the season, it’s your mailman!

“Sign the card to thank our nation's postal workers for working tirelessly to deliver millions of gifts and holiday cards this season,” it continues.
Weirdly, the Democrats didn’t thank the people who actually delivered the vast majority of gifts (by a lot): Amazon delivery drivers. I don’t know about you, but I see the mail truck come through my neighborhood once per day and Amazon trucks and just drivers delivering in cars about 20 times. My family’s Christmas didn’t come with a stamp; it came with an Amazon label.
How about yours?
Why not thank Amazon drivers, or at least thank them too? They aren’t unionized, so they don’t have dues taken by “leaders” and given to Democrats as the run for reelection like the Postal Union does.
It all goes to Democrats, including worthless people like Rashida Tlaib, Jon Tester and Kamala Harris. That’s why Democrats care, and it’s the ONLY reason they care.
The email continues, “come snow, rain, heat, or gloom of night, the USPS has tirelessly ensured that Americans receive the mail they need. From delivering prescription drugs to Social Security checks to holiday gifts, our postal workers always get the job done.”
Hilariously, I’ve seen the mail canceled over snow, and who still gets physical checks?
They go on, “That's why this holiday season, we want to show our gratitude with a MASSIVE thank you card for our dedicated public servants. We need 250,000 signatures before we can send it, and we're counting on you to help us get it to the finish line!”
Notice the word they don’t use? It’s “Christmas.” Never once is it mentioned. I mean, they sent the damn email on Christmas Day and they never once typed the word.
It ends, “Please, Derek, help us show our appreciation: Sign the card before midnight to thank postal workers across the country for their hard work!”
The only way to “sign” the card is to donate to the DSCC, by the way. That’s how you know they care.
Years of “Defund the Police” have never led to “Thank the Police” from Democrats, because why would you thank something you despise? But postal workers? Well, police unions don’t unilaterally and uniformly “give” to Democrats, but the postal workers union does. And, as is always the case with Democrats, with money comes absolute loyalty.
Without money, as the police have learned, comes indifference, both to their existence and their murder, and appointed leadership more interested in a political agenda and racial demographics than qualifications. Democrats demand police leadership as incompetent as postal leadership, and the people who do the actual work are left out in the cold, in both cases.
Thank whoever you want, but note how Democrats only ever use the word to their advantage, which cheapens it and says everything you need to know about them.
