Yes, I'm Piling On

It's just low hanging fruit these days.  With no real power to wield and no real leadership to wield what's left, the Democratic Party is flailing.  Stating this is probably not a revelation to you.  Just turn on the talking heads and listen to the same sentiment.  The worst President in history is being contested by a misguided bunch of I really want to keep my job and to hell with doing my job leaders.

The Democrats are lauding their victories in the polls.  There is no arguing that the voters are moving away from the right with surprising alacrity and vehemence.  Apparently, masked government agents murdering American citizens with impunity has grabbed the attention of that portion of the voting public which was mildly engaged before the videos surfaced.  

That is good news, and we should welcome them to the fight.  But let's look at where they are going.  WTOP News, writing about the special election in New Jersey, posted this headline: 

Analilia Mejia, progressive ally of Bernie Sanders, wins special New Jersey House primary

then goes on to tell us that:

(I)nstead of backing a more moderate replacement for Sherrill, primary voters chose Mejia, who campaigned on populist economic policies and the abolition of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Axios went a bit further 

The left smells blood after shocking Democratic primary result

The Democratic political machinery did everything short of seizing the voting booths to prevent it from happening and yet Zohran Mamdani is now the Mayor of New York.  He's making a name for himself on his own, taking meetings with high profile names including Minneapolis's Mayor Jacob Frey, who told us that

“Mayors work together.... we're all operating in the reality business, and the reality is, what just happened with ‘Operation Metro Surge’ is not constitutional, is not okay, and is anti-American.”

Act Blue has sold or shared my phone number to any number of candidates for dog catcher in Montana despite my efforts to control the texts spamming my inbox, and I know I'm not alone in this.  Trees are dying and energy is expended so that Hakeem Jeffries can ask me to send him money to keep the wins coming.

How dumb do they think I am?
