OPINION:
It seems the Democratic Party’s strategy is to win at all costs. Currently, it is quietly endorsing candidates who have publicly endorsed Nazism and antisemitic messages.
The party continues to ignore accountability for fraud at the federal and state levels, perpetrated to create an economic foundation for illegal immigrants. Democrats assumed taxpayers would support the effort to redefine our nation with a social agenda that ignores our foundational values and religious principles.
They were wrong.
The political left has become so extreme that it has eroded the Democratic Party’s credibility and is actively spreading desperation. I call this the politics of failure.
So it is understandable that voters continue to ignore what we see on the street despite spending on social problems being at all-time highs: drug addiction, crime, homelessness and urban decay. Democratic candidates continue deceiving voters only to reveal, once in office, their true philosophies, which tend to include tax increases.
Why do legacy media, Democratic voters, members of Congress and candidates keep trying to repackage failed policies? Corporations are relocating. Exxon Mobil is leaving New Jersey for Texas after 144 years. In-N-Out is leaving California for Tennessee.
It appears that desperation has set in among Democratic leaders. The Congressional Black Caucus is asking high school athletes not to accept athletic scholarships in states that have redrawn voting districts. Why should teenagers suffer from the Democrats’ continued failed policy efforts?
Newly elected governors in New Jersey and Virginia and mayors of cities such as Los Angeles, Seattle and Chicago continue down this dangerous, slippery slope, but fortunately, the numbers do not lie. Paying more and getting less wakes anyone to the politics of failure.
Recent primary results indicate a wake-up, but it is too early to say how much longer the Democrats will keep trying to deceive voters.
