Mazie Hirono: ‘We Democrats know so much’ that we tend to alienate voters
By Jessica Chasmar The Washington Times, December 5, 2018

Sen. Mazie Hirono suggested that Democrats have a hard time connecting with voters because their breadth of knowledge tends to turn people off.

The Hawaii Democrat made the comment during a discussion at the “Bend Towards Justice” conference in Washington when she was asked by Slate editor Dahlia Lithwick how to make the judicial system a top campaign issue for voters.

“One of the things that we Democrats have a really hard time is connecting to people’s hearts instead of here,” Ms. Hirono responded, pointing at her head, according to a clip flagged by the Republic National Committee. “We’re really good at shoving out all the information that touch people here [points to the brain] but not here [points to the heart].”

“I’ve been saying it at all our Senate Democratic retreats we need to speak to the heart, not in a manipulative way, not in a way that brings forth everybody’s fears and resentments, but truly to speak to the heart so that people know that we’re actually on their side,” she continued.

“We have to kind of tell everyone how smart we are, and so we have a tendency to be very left-brain,” the senator added.

Add Ms. Hirono: “We Democrats know so much” it can alienate voters.


His Atlanta speech revealed Biden’s intense dislike for Americans.......
and his displeasure at having created a “perfect government” for such horrible people.

Biden became unhinged in Georgia especially b/c Stacey Abrams was not there to hold his hand .

Biden made one startling declaration after another.

He reviled Americans who disagrees with him about how he has “perfectly” ensured the integrity of the American electoral process.

To somebody as “perfect” as Biden, modern-day Confederates,
racist traitors, closeted supporters of slave-holding president Jefferson Davis can never achiever the perfection Biden and the Democrats have achieved.

If you control the machines, you don’t need stinking voters.

The democrats I know are democrats by birth, that is, they are democrats because their parents were. Guess what? My parents were Roosevelt democrats but they stressed in my childhood to be independent in my thinking and reasoning. As a result, I’ve never voted for a democrat since becoming old enough to vote. (76 years old now)
