Civil War Among Nevada Democrats Could Pay Off Big for GOP

For the last year, Nevada Democrats have been warring with each other over the past and future of their party.

Senator Harry Reid, the state’s most successful politician, built a Democratic machine in the late 1990s and early 21st century that dominated local and national races up and down the ballot. But the machine suffered some setbacks in 2018 and 2020, leaving an opening for radicals to take control.

The Democratic Socialists of America took over the party, and the Harry Reid faction didn’t much like it. They’ve been at war ever since.

The Washoe County Democrats declared their independence from the socialists in June and vowed to chart their own path. This caused a backlash from the socialist state party chairperson, Judith Whitmer, who called the move an “insurrection,” as well as “ill-advised and undemocratic.”

AMAC:

Several elected Democrats in Nevada who bill themselves as moderates, including Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and Governor Steve Sisolak, nonetheless stated their support for the move, likely realizing that association with progressive policies could threaten their own reelection hopes next year, just as it damaged or destroyed reelection bids for many incumbent Democrats in the U.S. House in 2020.

Outside of Las Vegas and its powerful culinary union, Nevada is a fairly conservative state. But with 70 percent of the state’s vote in Clark County, where Las Vegas is located, the more moderate and conservative elements in the state get short shrift.

That is a worrisome development for the national party.

Two hurdles. Clark county and Washoe county. Hairy screed and his ilk will be all in for sissypants and cathy kotex man-toes and the populations in Clark and Washoe outnumber the rest of the counties YUGELY! Caviar dreams though. And, the number of republican contenders are growing by the day, it seems, to unseat sissypants.

Remember, the GOP does not want to win. The function of the GOP is to give the illusion of an opposition, and thus a choice.

Easier for the GOP to raise funds as the opposition instead of winning and actually having to govern.

Governing is not as easy as it looks. I am reminded of a scene from The Princess Bride when Wesley is climbing the cliff.
