After talking themselves up a couple of months ago the Democrats have had reality start catching up to them in the form of polling that now screens for likely voters rather than just registered voters, and is showing them in a lot of trouble.
A recent analysis of several polls by the US Lefty Luvvie fave, the NYT, showed that none of the issues that the Democrats care about are ones that the public cares about. This horrified the authors of the article, who expressed shock and surprise at this result, which is yet another unintended example of how useless they are as news media when living in such a bubble.
As usual the great American cartoonist, Michael Ramirez, captures it in one look.
The desperation induced by this mis-match of issues is also resulting in some behaviour that’s borderline illegal, as captured in Arizona.
After they spent money promoting Kari Lake in the Republican primary – on the theory that a Trump-backed candidate would be a sure loser in that “purple” state (like Trump himself was supposed to be in 2016 😉) – you’d have expected them to come up with better ways of campaign spending. But as with much else, the Democrats are stupid when it comes to spending.
Perhaps they should also have kept a closer eye on their candidate selection, but I guess Biden in 2020 gave them false confidence, hence the hopeless creature running against Lake and of course, this – this literally brain-damaged man – in Pennsylvania: Ramirez again.

I don’t want to go full Dick Morris, but this is going to be a blowout. As in the GOP will have carte Blanche to amend the constitution after this.
Biden just did an interview with a transgender Tictocker and defended genital mutilation for minors ffs. I don’t see this ending well for them.
That was so panderingly insane that I didn’t post on it. Biden’s brains trust obviously think there’s sufficient numbers of trans-supporters or trans-tolerant folk out there that it’s worth appealing to them to try and save the Democrats in this election.
However, I don’t share your confidence about what The Stupid Party will do if they win both the Senate and the House. Not yet enough of the appeasers have been replaced so the likes of McCarthy will pander but I doubt we’ll see the likes of Mayorkas, Fauci, Garland or others hauled across the boards or – assuming they pull the Eric Holder stunt of refusing to appear and laughing at votes holding them in contempt – see them arrested and convicted for it.
I fear the GOP will continue to play the “Muh Princples” game of being above such things. My attitude is that if the Democrats are not forced to play by the rules they’ve set then the GOP will actually go on losing even as they win elections.
I fear you are right. They will have a mandate, but they will squander it. I also fear that this will be the last time the GOP will be allowed to win an election… if they don’t squander it yet again.
