Democrats Already Blaming Voters for Midterm Loss
Free Beacon ^ | Oct 28, 2022 | Andrew Stiles

What happened? Journalists and other Democrats have already started blaming voters for the party's (likely) defeat in the midterm elections.

Seriously? Yes. As the Washington Free Beacon reported earlier this month, Democrats and their allies have a history of lashing out when American voters decline to validate their preferences at the ballot box. The election is in 12 days, but things aren't looking great for Democrats. Polls suggest they are going to lose control of the House and possibly the Senate as well. That's why the voter-blaming is already underway.

Voters are a threat to democracy.

This morning, Chuck Todd led the Alice in Wonderland Team. He repeatedly took the position “What we know” vs the reality of those victims of mis-information.

In contrast, Chris Christie (no cheer leader for election deniers) was in touch with reality. The voters don’t care about Jan 6. They don’t care about abortion. They don’t care about climate change.

They care prices in the grocery store, prices at the gas pump. in isolated areas maybe crime. But in most areas prices make crime of less concern.

Of course they will blame voters and they will blame, republicans, climate change, Russia, MAGA, the media, the police, etc. so on and so forth.

Point is they will blame everything other than the communist/depraved policies they’re pushing on the country.

In 2016 I was particularly interested in results from Fla, on election day and kept flipping to different networks. The talking heads were upset that so many white people had voted. They actually said the only reason Trump won in Fla. was because of record white turnout, and they said it like it was some vast right-wing conspiracy!

Suddenly making sure everyone gets out and votes, and everyone’s vote is counted was a problem.

Yes, they are to dumb to self-reflect.. if they did this is what they’d come to:

Our ideology tends to violence and radicalism. We’ll never be rid of the crazies. We need to stuff them back in their cage like Bill Clinton did, and we can successfully fool the electorate into thinking we’re moderate. Sure we can appeal to the dreamy unicornism of our imbecile base and get a radical like Obama elected, but to pull that off you need a leader with at least enough competence that the media can paint over their faults. It was a huge mistake to elect a dementia patient cuz the media can’t cover up his abject failures.

It’s the nature of the left’s insufferable self righteousness that self-reflection like this is impossible. Better to latch onto the notion that the voters are toostupid and too racist to appreciate the greatness of the left

“In the form of a solid throat punch, right?”...LOL..you gonna step up and administer that punch are you howie..??

Pretty pathetic when the response to an opinion or article nowadays results in people threatening violence...just because they disagree with it.

Guess if you can’t articulate why you think an article and/or an opinion is wrong then resorting to violence seems to be the answer.

This is why they cheat, the damned voters just don’t vote as they’re supposed to. You can’t blame the democrats, they’re cheating as hard as they can.

Democrats have already started blaming voters for the party's (likely) defeat

Whom do they credit for their wins?

In 2020 in GA the credited Stacy Abrams and her “non profit non partisan” organization that had a very effective ground game.

Hundreds of thousands of Democrats in jobless Rust Belt cities wanted to work and not go on welfare. They came to the Republican created jobs in GA. They were ripe for conversion to R.

But in GA all wings of the GOP ignored them. Stacy’s troops did not ignore them.

This time around Stacy’s troops are small, lack motivation. They realize that not only other voters, but them also do not have good economic policies.

But the GA GOP still pretty much ignores the switch voters.
