Category: Political Strategy

Joe Biden is not jetting around the country to help fellow Democrats. There are two reasons for that:

The first and most in-your-face reason is that Biden is manifestly incompetent and extremely unpopular. Thus, Democrat candidates really don’t want to be associated with him in any way or even be seen with him. They (rightfully) fear that being seen (or tarred) as a “Biden Democrat” would be the kiss of death for them.

But second, Joe Biden is incredibly low-stamina. He simply is too feeble to do much barnstorming–he just can’t physically do it. Also, he has a strong tendency to say stupid things–and Democrat candidates want nothing to do with that. And that tendency to say stupid things, while historically always a part of the Joe Biden experience, is now exponentially worse given his much-more-than-creeping senility.

So the strategy for Democrats in anything but the deepest wacko red district is to just go it alone. They know that a Great Horny Toad who has a “D” after its name will get elected in those places. So they certainly don’t need the risk of having Biden there! Heavens no!

for the Left is that they have come to embody the lyrics the “The Boxer” by Simon and Garfunkel:

But a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.

And THAT has become the Lefty way. Avoid ALL discussion or reasoned argument and let nothing penetrate your Lefty bubble! Make sure you never leave your Lefty “circle of safety.” You might hear something that weakens your Lefty faith!

Yes, THAT is the Lefty way.

be fooled!

And just like Jan. 6, there will be Democrat plants egging people on. (Of note: “Creshendo” is horribly misspelled, but you understand what is being said, here…)

BUT, another major issue is this: Even if the FBI said they found something in their scurrilous raid on Mar-a-Lago, how could you be sure it is true? Could it be planted? I mean, they took away boxes–could they have later put something in them? Do you think that an organization that spent years lying about Trump and Russia and January 6 might also plant evidence?

Of course they would! I just think the FBI has crapped the bed so badly that they are no longer trustworthy at all. So a lot of people would simply not believe them. And with very good reason!

Counsel is indeed warranted. Both for Hunter and for Joe. But it won’t happen–UNLESS the party decides it’s profitable to now chuck Joe under the bus. Still, the party is edging in that direction already. And it is very possible that the mid-terms will be the push that sends both Biden and Harris falling head-over-heels off that cliff.

In practice, though, special counsels are almost always disasters. Rarely if ever do they find actionable crimes that relate directly to their mandate. In almost every case, the only prosecutions that take place involve secondary or tertiary figures and indictments for “process crimes.” They go on for years, raise expectations while spending significant amounts of money, and end up doing nothing more than generating a report while ruining the lives of tangential figures.

Yes, while seeing Biden and Harris torn apart by their own party would indeed be immensely satisfying, I don’t think it is likely to happen and it probably would not be the ideal outcome in many ways, anyway. These two are absolutely horrible at their jobs, but just by statistical regression to the mean the Dems can’t pick anyone worse.

Plus, it allows the Democrats to pose, posture, and avoid. They would blame the misery and crappy policy on the incompetence of Biden and Harris, and thus avoid what is SO obvious–that the problem is Leftism itself.

Out of the dead asp’s hole would come a cockatrice…

So I would rather have these two be stinky dead albatrosses hung around the necks of Democrats than, almost for sure, Democrats getting someone better.

The problem for Democrats is that there are no obvious decent replacements. If Kamala had been even a halfway acceptable option, Joe would already be gone. But there is this double whammy of Kamala and Joe being terrible and the damage the party would take if they ratted them out.

Therefore, Joe is still in office.

BUT, we are rapidly approaching the “tipping point” for Dems. And the idea of chucking both Joe and Kamala is gaining steam in hard Lefty circles. And it is getting more mainstream. Dems are starting to “blamestorm.”

And they will soon make Biden and Harris into scapegoats–they will place on them all the faults of Leftism and then send them out to die, politically.

All the while, Gavin Newsom is circling, circling. Just waiting for the right opening…

Republicans need to play offense, here. We thought that playing nice and just ignoring the nuts would be sufficient. But no–Modern Democrats are the nuts, now!

And it’s way beyond time to crush them. We can no longer afford to be “polite” and silent. We need to actively stand up for what is right!

By going on the attack, we can pick our battles and accomplish our goals. This is not a plan for the faint-hearted, RINOS, compromisers, or the bipartisan. Mitch McConnell, and those like him, need to be pushed out for this to accelerate. This is and has to be about winning, full-stop.

And the harsh truth is that some of the people that you once thought were misguided but basically good are neither. They have now actively turned to the dark side. I’m so sorry. These losses are indeed heartbreaking.

But I had darn well better act according to the actual facts. It is time to take off the gloves!

Indeed, stay connected to your motivation! Overall, what is important to YOU? And everything has to be in the service of that goal.
