The Pathetic Democratic Pantheon
American Greatness ^ | 6 Nov, 2022 | Victor Davis Hanson

Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Nancy Pelosi are of no use to the Left in the midterms because it is their radical ideology that was finally enacted and wrecked the country.

Over the last few months the four icons of the Democratic Party—Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Nancy Pelosi—have hit the campaign trail.

They’ve weighed in on everything from “right-wing violence” and “election denialists” to the now tired “un-American” semi-fascist MAGA voter—and had nothing much to say about inflation, the border, crime, energy, or the Afghanistan debacle. In this, they remind us just how impoverished and calcified is this left-wing pantheon.

So why should we take anything they say seriously, given their own records—and especially given their mastery of projecting their own shortcomings upon others as some sort of private exculpation or preemptive political strategy?

Still Hopin’ and Changin’?

Barack Obama this past week has assumed the role of surrogate president. He is storming the country, while Joe Biden mopes at home or visits shrinking blue enclaves so he can claim post facto, “At least I was out there stumping.”

Over the last six years, we have become accustomed to Obama’s periodic getaways from one of his three estates. It is always the same. From time to time, he reenters politics to remind us that he did not just cash in on his presidency to become a multi-millionaire. Instead, he is still the Chicago “community activist” of his youth. And so, Obama will not be overshadowed by the Biden crew that is enacting all the crazy things he as president had warned were a bit much even for him.

At the funeral of the late John Lewis, Obama turned his eulogy into a political rant.

There is a giant gap among the Democrats, in between the Old Guard and the Young Communists: the OG looks like they should all be in a nursing home, and the YCs cannot help trumpeting their deep desire to Make-America-Communist-China.

By contrast, the GOP has its OG, but it is becoming increasingly irrelevant, as numerous middle-agers take on the leadership roles, with enough experience to administer well and enough sense to MAGA.

If it weren’t for Big Tech, Big Pharma, and Big Soros money, the Democrats would completely collapse as a political party.

“YCs cannot help trumpeting their deep desire to Make-America-Communist-China.”

They are looking for a distraction while they try to decide what pronouns they want to use.

His plan is finally coming to fruition. Anybody notice those rate increases this year?

I just can't wait for that Inflation "Reduction" Act to kick in.
