It took a brutal electoral beating, but non-delusional Democrats are finally recognizing the putrid stink coming off their party.
But will the left let them do anything about it?
In an interview with The New York Times’ Frank Bruni, former Pete Buttigieg adviser Lis Smith, a veteran of New York politics, put it vividly: “The Democratic brand is in the toilet.”
Yes: Between the obsessive demonization of President-elect Trump and his supporters, the rank incompetence of the Biden administration and the constant push toward race-and-gender-war lunacy, Democrats have transformed their party into a soup of hazardous sludge.
Americans now associate Dems with high crime, high prices, migrant gangs taking over cities and biological men in women’s sports — which has about as much appeal as expired milk.
Yet the trouncing of Kamala Harris proved that their favorite distraction tactic — screaming “Trump is Hitler” and his supporters are vile rubes — is a massive dud.
As lefty Timesman Ezra Klein put it on his podcast to a listener complaining that he platforms Trump allies, The Donald “has been elected or almost elected president three times now,” so “Don’t expect this show to be a resistance show.”
The Democrats’ way back starts with a return to common sense.
One such leader is Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), who spent the last year loudly supporting Israel and denouncing the Hamas-lovers; back in June, the lifelong man of the left announced he no longer claimed to be a “progressive,” saying “that label left me.”
He made it clear after Trump’s win that he’s “not rooting against” the incoming administration and told his hysterical fellow Democrats to “chill out.”
Progressive extremism — insane energy policies, inflation-goosing spending sprees, pro-crime “justice reforms,” divisive and hate-fueling “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” nonsense and so on — is now the face of the Democratic Party and will remain so until leading Dems unmistakably reject every bit of it and show they mean it.
That likely means actively seeking parts of the Trump agenda they can support in the face of the hard left’s fury.
If Democrats don’t move rapidly toward the center, they’re looking at decades in the wilderness.
