When I worked in retail, I was good at my job. I used to joke that I “could sell finger food to a proctologist during a latex shortage.” I never tested that theory because, well, gross, but with the right amount of marketing, a skilled marketer can sell just about anything to anyone. And depending on the return policy, customers can end up stuck with something they can’t use and didn’t really want. That’s kind of what Democrats are hoping will happen with Kamala Harris.
Once you mark your ballot and hand it in, it’s over. It’s like buying food, then eating it – trying to return it is an impossible, frankly crappy, proposition that is just not going to work out well for anyone involved.
Democrats are hoping to sell Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to the public based on vague promises and lies. They’re the empty calories of American politics – Twinkies and Ding Dongs that might taste good at the moment, but leave you feeling gross, wishing you hadn’t eaten them.
The left just hopes you don’t have that sugar hangover until November 6th. They don’t give a damn what you think of their ticket after the election, there’s a no return policy on that. They just want your vote, what happens next is irrelevant.
That may sound cynical, but having grown up in Detroit, then lived for more than a decade in Baltimore, most of my life has been spent in the wreckage of the empty promises of Democratic politicians. You’d think the people in those cities would recognize they’re being lied to at some point in their 60+ year decline, but they haven’t.
They largely haven’t because for a couple of reasons: 1) the people who did notice got the hell out of there. The populations of both cities has collapsed over the last few decades, as people who could afford it ran as far away as possible. And 2) Democrats scare the hell out of people. You have to wonder what it would take to cause people to continually reelect people ruining their city and it’s fear of something else, in this case that is Republicans.
Republicans cannot allow the fear of them Democrats instill in low information voters to go unchecked. These cities have been murder capitols of the country and couldn’t shake their Democrat leadership. The main reason they slipped from that title is sooner or later you run out of people to kill. How the hell would anyone living under those circumstances vote for the people who did that to them?
By being conned into believing the alternative is somehow worse.
Democrats don’t have to prove Republicans would be worse, which is helpful to them because they can’t, they just have to get people to think they would be. They can’t prove it, but they don’t have to because Republicans can’t disprove it. Actually, somewhere along the line they stopped trying.
Republicans wrote of Democrat-controlled cities once they realized they could win without them, just as Democrats wrote off suburbs once they were able to win without them. Those lines are so blurred now.
Wealthy, white suburbanite Chardonay swilling women vote for and fund Democrats to feel like they’re “making a difference” while living lives insulated from the destruction their votes cause, and black and Hispanic men are starting to lean to Republicans because they want to work, to thrive economically and they realize the largest obstacle to that is not the things Democrats lied to them about, but the policies those Democrats impose on them.
Eyes are opening, which is causing Democrats to panic.
It’s very telling that a political party would panic over the idea of their voters being better informed, but that’s the modern Democratic Party. And it’s why the Harris campaign is getting so desperate.
You can’t turn on the TV without seeing a campaign ad about abortion. Democrats can’t talk about the economy, the border or the rest of the world, all of which are a mess thanks to their actions. Abortion is all they have. While irresponsible single men across the country who don’t like condoms are grateful, everyone else is more concerned with feeding themselves and their families than getting a call from an ex-fling 9 months down the road. Unless you’re Doug Emhoff, then you’re terrified of hearing from a former employee you paid off, but that’s a different story.
The fact of the matter is if Democrats had anything worthwhile to offer the American people they not only would have offered it by now, they would have implemented it already. The mess we’re living in right now is the best they can offer, and the American people hate it. It’s why they’re panicking and why they should.
