In the latest circus act of Democratic Party politics, the antics of both the leadership and its followers remind us why the average American often rolls their eyes at the mention of Washington’s esteemed political elite. According to pundits, it seems our Vice President has become more of a scarecrow than a source of inspiration. In certain urban areas where working-class folks reside, Kamala Harris appears about as popular as a traffic jam during rush hour.
Let’s unpack this spectacle. Jesse and the panel are discussing the Democratic Party’s struggles, and things are looking about as harmonious as a cat in a roomful of rocking chairs. Some Democrats think Kamala Harris is a bit unnerving, much like a confusing Halloween costume. The nation appears to be stuck in a peculiar cycle of dreaming—or perhaps, in some twisted way, it’s a nightmare to them. It’s hard to get excited over policies that belong more in a history book about the Soviet Union than in modern America. The only things stirring excitement within the party are ideals far removed from the realities of everyday Americans.
What’s particularly amusing, if one can find humor in such a thing, is how the Democrats seem to be taking cues from donors like students cramming for a test they never bothered to study for. It’s like watching a soap opera, except this one includes a lot of powerful friends with deep pockets who cue their lines from backstage. Forget the will of the people—or even the faint echo of it. This part of the play focuses on talking points handed down by those holding the purse strings. New York, for instance, elects leaders whose beliefs might as well come from an alternate universe, far removed from the average American’s daily life.
Now, we all know Donald Trump can be a polarizing figure, but what binds the Democrats these days seems to be less about their convictions than about being anti-Trump, or whatever flavor of anti-personality they think might work that day. One can only laugh at how this results in them following orders from who knows who, with messages that some argue resemble a pitiful game of Simon Says. It’s no surprise that skepticism about the Democrats’ sincerity and identity has taken root in the minds of the electorate.
And of course, the cherry on top is the long-standing mystery of Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities, a topic as elusive as Bigfoot in the political discourse. Kamala, as the second-in-command, has been said to know more than she lets on, but getting a straight answer on that score seems as likely as choosing the winning lottery numbers. Strangely, journalists have apparently forgotten how to ask tough questions. It’s not like we’re dealing with a political figure hidden away in some secretive regime. California is pretty sunny, yet somehow Kamala remains as elusive as a shadow. It might be that some reporters need a reminder about what their job entails. As always, the saga continues, complete with intrigue, suspense, and more than a dash of humor—if one knows where to look.
