Democrats Decide the Future Is... the Past
Remember "we're not going back"? Turns out that was another lie from the left.
Four days a week, I give away my snarky hot takes for free. The fifth post goes behind a paywall because this is, somewhat alarmingly, my only job.
If you want in, you can upgrade below (an annual subscription works out to about 30 cents a post and comes with a free signed book). If you can’t swing it or you aren’t sure if you like me that much, no worries. Free content will resume tomorrow.
Well, it’s official. The Democratic Party has spent eighteen months wound-licking, soul-searching, rebranding, and engaging in the kind of deep institutional reflection that apparently leads you [*checks notes*] right back to Kamala Harris.
It looks as if the party of perpetual protest is not, in fact, going to be unburdened by what has been.
According to the latest Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll, the former vice president—the woman who routinely struggled to string together a coherent sentence and lost to Donald Trump by a margin that made network anchors visibly nauseous—remains the top choice for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, pulling in 27% support among left-leaning voters. (Who are these people? Like, do we know them personally? Are they in the room with us now?) Put a different way, Harris is “miles ahead” of her competition… and yet nearly three-quarters of Democrats would prefer literally anyone else. In most industries, that would get you a product recall. In Democratic politics, it gets you a primary.
The scariest part is that she may be the least awful option.
