Neo-Liberal Democrats are Going to Lose in a Landslide this November 2022
The reason is OVERREACH, the poison pill of politics
Will they never learn…
Republicans: “We have a mandate from the people… to give huge tax breaks to billionaires and get us into endless multi-trillion dollar wars! Really?
Democrats: “We have a mandate from the people… to force people to take an experimental drug and attack anyone who has the audacity to object on civil rights grounds! Really?
How’s that working for you? ANY TIME a political party or advocacy group in society overreaches to 1) actively harm and/or 2) judge, put down, ignore, or boss around the people of this nation, they will not only get killed in the next election but deserve to be wiped out. And Democrats are REALLY cruisin’ for a self-inflicted bruisin’.
Fifteen dollar minimum wages? Nah, we can’t do that because the Congressional parliamentarian said we couldn’t. However, spending literally a billion dollars of government/taxpayer advertising for Pfizer and Big Pharma to get their shots into people’s arms? Coming right up!
Voting rights, Medicare for All, family leave, affordable child care, student loan debt relief, vaccine and mask choice? “Nah, can’t do that, and we won’t even fight for it… but vote for us anyway!” Democrats promised all these and broke every single one of these promises. (Most don’t remember that Biden promised not to mandate masks or vaccines. Instead he ruined millions of lives by mandating both.)
Literally, you couldn’t form a better strategy, if you TRIED to be wiped out in the next election than what neo-liberal Democrats are doing in Congress. And, yes, the progressives like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Bernie Sanders are going right along with it. “Here’s forty billion dollars for a war in Ukraine, no problem.” (The best I can guess, they are playing rope-a-dope, a boxing strategy “in which one fighter covers up and often leans back against the ropes to allow the opponent to become exhausted by throwing punches so that the opponent cannot defend effectively late in the fight...”) Self-destruction is apparently the new black.
I don’t get it. Are Democrats trying desperately to LOSE? Well if so, their prayers will be answered. You can take this to the bank: There will be MASSIVE electoral self-destruction for for the Democrats this November. And don’t worry about election rigging keeping Dems in office. The margin is just too great, and the wave of rejection too big for these corrupt and shrill group of political dolts to go anywhere but down. Frankly they are too lazy, weak, and incompetent to rig elections, even if they had the opportunity.
Let’s enumerate what neo-liberal Democrats have successfully accomplished, after being elected to do all the things they ain’t doing. They have failed to deliver any general relief for young people around college debt even though Biden has the legal power to do so through executive order (bye bye youth vote). They let the child tax credit lapse (with no back-up plan), just in time for elections (bye bye middle class and working class family vote). They did not fight cuts for Medicare called euphemistically “sequestration” (bye bye senior vote). But, hey, they have accomplished sticking up for the massively popular (not!) “trans rights” movement. That should gain them at least ten votes.
And now they’ve passed a “Inflation Reduction Act of 2022” hiring 87,000 new IRS agents to audit middle and working class families. Yeah, that’s going to go over REAL well! The billionaires are protected from audits because have written the laws so that their tax evasion is legal and backed by teams of lawyers, so who exactly CAN those agents go after but the working and middle classes.
But what about the overturn of Roe v. Wade? Won’t that get people concerned and activated? When you line that up to two years of neo-liberal imcompetence, cruelty, and just plain pissing people off for no reason, it won’t even be close. Roe v. Wade’s overturn will not be nearly the factor it rightfully should be.
Credit the Dems for that. They never fought the judges nominated by Trump. They rolled over at every turn. Obama (with a veto-proof 60 senators) promised “codifying” Roe v. Wade in legislative law would be done on Day One of his administration, and then immediately dropped it. This follows a sordid neo-liberal history of promising to fight for the little guy, but strangely only delivering for corporations and billionaires, just like Republicans, and then bemoaning what the Republicans are doing. Then they ask for money? For what, exactly?
I personally refused to vote for a single Democrat or Republican in the last primary in California (I’ve since moved to Ohio). I wrote in “none of the above” for a good many of the political offices. I’ve stopped contributing a dime to any candidate except once ($25.00) to Maud Maron, who was banned from a Democratic debate for standing up for the rights of girls and women in the face of male athletes who conveniently chose to compete athletically as women simply on their own say-so. Yes, THIS is the hill Dems are willing to die on. Now you see why they are going to be wiped out.
The Democrats’ internal polling must be REALLY bad, because recently even federal agencies, like the corporate butt-kissing lickspittle Center for Disease Control (CDC) COMPLETELY reversed itself on every Covid policy it has pushed at this point: The CDC now says 1) the Covid mitigation strategies are an individual decision, 2) NOT to distinguish between the vaxxed and unvaxxed, 3) mandates are not helpful and decisions should be made at a local level. The CDC is now even recognizing natural immunity for the first time ever!
Wow. They must really be frightened of the backlash, and they should be. Do you think that people will forget being put through hell for two years, just because you decided to play nice just before an election? (Latest update: Biden promises a “plan” to reduce student loan debt— yeah, right, fool me once. Would that be the same “plan” he reaffirmed in December 2020 after he was elected and did nothing for two years?) Who would trust you to keep your word and your new-found religion after the midterm election? Nope. Just nope.
What is coming after the landslide defeat of Democrats in November 2022? Rand Paul will probably an investigation of the Biden administration’s corruption and collusion with Big Pharma and Big Tech, around censorship, suppression of early treatment drugs and supplements (i.e. ivermectin, zinc, Vitamin D, etc.), denial of natural immunity, etc. and the picture will not be pretty. The Biden administration is already proving to be dirty, fraudulent, and provably ethically compromised especially around health policy.
Biden administration mandates have literally resulted in the injury of hundreds of thousands of Americans and the deaths of tens of thousands. “But… Trump!” will not be an adequate answer to this horrible record and massive disrespect of the American public. Neo-liberal Democrats own this one, and the balloon payment on all their perfidy and broken promises is coming due.
Will Biden be impeached or forced to resign (“for family and health reasons”) before he is impeached? I think there is a better than 50-50 chance of that. (Update: Chances are less than 50-50 now that Republicans admit they hate Vice President Kamala Harris so much that they will stomach Biden’s tenure in office.)
So here's the thing. I thought Biden picking her (Kamala Harris) at first was like the worst decision ever, because she's not great. But she's like the best impeachment insurance and 25th amendment insurance anyone could have. Because as bad as Biden is, even though he can barely read the teleprompter, and as much as people disapprove of him, nobody wants Harris and so they'd much rather stick with Biden floundering around than actually turn the wheels of power over to somebody that clearly is over - in over her head.
This stroke of luck on Biden’s part will, however, not stop a midterm landslide. Newt Gingrich thinks Republicans can pick up 70 representative seats and four senatorial seats. I think it well could be more.
Unlike Democrats, Republicans love a fight, especially if they think they can clobber you, and they have never shied away from fighting dirty if they have to in order to achieve their ends. Neo-liberal Democrats can’t even fight for their own base.
It won’t be pretty but it will be VERY necessary. I hope each and every neo-liberal Democrat gets wiped out. The stain of “let-them-eat-cake” Clintonism, symbolic and cultural liberalism, and fake progressivism (which does nothing for concrete change or real social justice) NEEDS to be routed and burned out of small “d” democracy to allow the shoots of real change and progress to happen.
I for one will be working for the next iteration. I will probably be too occupied with that real work that I won’t have time to notice all the inevitable hand-wringing and drama from the Dems. Democrats, you brought it on yourselves. You have no one to blame but yourselves. Now, for once, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for your own failures, and hand the reins over to someone who can actually get the job done and does not think shooting one’s own foot (or one’s own base) is good policy.
Good riddance.
I agree that the blue hat crew is likely to be trounced in the midterm elections.
However, I find it sad that so many Americans believe in the Republicrat Uniparty and are highly unlikely to vote in third party candidates.
Republicans aren't likely to be much help except possibly going for Brandon's 'early retirement.' I seriously doubt they'll take on biosecurity state issues like the combining of the DoD and HHS for experimentation on citizens without informed consent, freedom of speech, the push to label citizens as 'domestic terrorists' for speaking out against government malfeasance and overreach, the Never Ending State of Emergency, pHarmaCo racketeering, Ukraine money laundering, Red scare warmongering, the ever increasing ESG nonsense, all time high corporate profits/price gouging labeled as inflation, or any other issues that would be important to the lower socio-economic castes. They'll be excited to continue using the Emergency power structures and heavy handed DHS for their own benefit, and may well plop that piece of @!$*%?? McConnell back in the way of congress-passed legislation getting to the oval office for signing/veto.
The only good thing I can predict for the election cycle is new plutocrats mixed with a few progressive republicans replacing the democrat plutocrats and some of the more obviously corrupt republicans.
Yeesh.
