The economy looks like a homeless camp after a hurricane, and all Democrats can do is point and shout, “look, abortion!” I’ve already pegged that as little more than a desperate get-out-the-vote strategy for low-info Lefties, though it may not be working.

At least a few Republican candidates the Democrats backed with millions in primaries (‘cuz they thought they’d be easier to beat) are tied or polling better than their Democrat opponents. Primary meddling appears to have failed. Killing babies as a right isn’t fairing too well as a strategy. How about saving “The Democracy™”?
Democrats can’t shut up about it and how that’s what they are doing, but we’ve got bad news. America disagrees.
The Daily Signal, in a report fact-checking Biden’s latest Teleprompter-read-passed off as presidential wisdom, had some unpleasant news for the political Left. While many Americans are concerned about “The Democracy™,” Democrats and the Media are viewed as more significant threats to it than Republicans.
A recent New York Times/Siena College poll found that 71% of Americans believed democracy faced some risk and that only 28% believed their votes would be properly counted. However, the Times story characterized the concern as “remarkably apathetic” compared to concerns about economic issues.
But, the poll found about one-third, or 33%, viewed Democrats as a threat to democracy, while fewer, 28%, think Republicans are a threat. Also, 59% of respondents said the mainstream media was a threat to democracy. …
Overwhelmingly, 81% of those who think democracy is in danger believe it can be saved by existing laws and institutions without the need to go outside the law.
In a nutshell, the corporate media represents a substantial threat, followed by Democrats – and a supermajority of those polled believe existing law can pull us off the ledge. Not a single thing Democrats want to hear or have planned fits with the results of that poll. Quite the opposite.
Once achieved, their version of Democracy will have as little Democracy in it as possible and a good deal of lawlessness. I won’t go so far as to say people are beginning to see that. Survival demands that you abandon boutique political tangents and focus on the basics. The Left’s gloomy economic cloud has obscured almost any other issue that might otherwise move the needle for many Americans.
Even pro-abortion Democrats need to get by, and people have, are, or are worried about falling behind. You can pretend to blame the pandemic or Putin, but when it comes to the electorate, it’s what you have done TO me lately.
The Left has done a lot, none of it good, and inherited or not, possession is nine-tenths, as they say.
The US economy is in shambles, with fresh storms lined up on the horizon, many directly resulting from things about which Democrats like to brag.
The election is in five days, so if their version of Democracy isn’t holding water, what have Democrats got left on which to run? Sexualizing children instead of educating them?
