I have yet to see a single liberal on Twitter or cable news display the slightest modicum of introspection. They’re quick to blame men, white women, Latinos, Putin, Elon Musk, “fascists,” disinformation, and all their other regular scapegoats. But not a word about the DNC short-circuiting the primary process. Or Biden staying in the race far longer than he should have. Or the White House and the media colluding to cover up Biden’s deteriorating faculties. Or Kamala simply being a thoroughly mediocre candidate. Or Tim Walz being a categorically awful running mate. Or the Democratic platform being unpalatable to working-class voters. Or inflation being a valid and painful concern for middle-class families. Or kamikaze woke activists being a singularly destructive political force. They are so convicted of their own righteousness as to believe that their policies and their standard bearers are above reproach. Democrats can never fail American voters; American voters can only fail Democrats. There is hence no need for introspection, self-reflection, or modifications to their strategies, because these things are already perfect. The only imperfect things here, in their minds, are you and me. We are flawed, we let them down, and it’s incumbent on us, not them, to do better. They haven’t learned, and they likely never will learn. Let them enjoy the next four years.
