The Democratic Party is obsessed with Donald Trump and Elon Musk right now. They want to slit the throats of the Senate Democratic leadership. The leader of House Democrats, Hakeem Jeffries, looks like a draft bust, incapable of doing anything but making cringy videos where he’s all alone outside the Capitol Building and repeating shoddy DNC talking points. This party is so lost and preoccupied with niche matters that they stare at Armageddon and don’t even know it. This warning comes from The New York Times, where Ezra Klein paints a bleak picture for Democrats if they can’t leave the wilderness by 2030.
The party is in its worst shape in 50 years. The groundwork for a successful midterm season isn’t there, at least for now. Democrats have no leader, message, or unity. There’s no communication strategy other than making viral social media posts, most of which are astounding regarding the depths of stupidity that are exposed. Ezra Klein’s column on the party's state has one haunting passage for Democrats regarding census time: If nothing changes, Democrats could win every state Kamala Harris carried in 2024, plus Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, and still lose. He also says that the cost of living issue was a cancer of the Democrats' own making, one that they need to admit was their blunder.
