Are Democrats Starting to Get a Clue?

Posted on | November 30, 2024 | No Comments

In case anybody missed the message yesterday, I am against Democrats figuring out why they lost the election. My preference is for them to engage in a lot of finger-pointing and misguided scapegoating, making excuses and engaging in self-serving rationalization, rather than learning their lessons and correcting their actual errors. We want Democrats to stay clueless, to keep drifting leftward into fringe irrelevance and permanent minority status. So this story is not good news:

Democrat senators are reportedly admitting their party’s failure on border security was part of the reason President-elect Donald Trump (R) won the 2024 election.
During a recent meeting, the senators discussed why their party lost the election, the Hill reported Friday. . . .
One Democrat senator said, “We destroyed ourselves on the immigration issue in ways that were entirely predictable and entirely manageable. We utterly mismanaged that issue, including our Democratic caucus here.” . . .
According to the Hill, Democrat lawmakers said they lost a lot of votes because of how their party handled border issues and they want to figure out why Vice President Kamala Harris (D), who lost to Trump, failed to secure the seven battleground states:

“We need to look at exactly what happened. We know we lost men, we lost Hispanics, we lost women. We’re not connecting with people, but also it’s part of the pendulum swinging” back to the right and “Trump appealing to people in ways” that Harris couldn’t, said a third Democratic senator who requested anonymity to comment on internal Senate Democratic Caucus discussions about what went wrong.
This lawmaker said social media platforms such as X — formerly known as Twitter — and TikTok spread Trump’s message more effectively than Biden’s or Harris’s.

So, it’s bad news that Democrats realize they “utterly mismanaged” the immigration issue — we’d prefer them to remain oblivious, of course — but at the same time, we can take consolation that they’re still trying to frame this as a “message” failure, rather than actually admitting Democrats are wrong in terms of the underlying policy question.

We don’t want Democrats to be right on immigration. We want them to keep singing from the oper-borders hymnal, openly espousing their real preferences — Democraats love foreigners, because Democrats hate Americans. “The Great Replacement” is not a right-wing conspiracy theory, it is the actual policy of the Democratic Party. And please, Democrats, don’t ever change. Keep on keeping on, and we will keep voting against you, and you will never win another election.
