Democratic Party

Here’s a dirty little secret about the PR profession: The PR experts in private practice think the PR “experts” who work for politicians, political parties, and government agencies are a bunch of low-watt bulbs. There are exceptions, of course, but as a general rule, the most productive, outside-the-box creative, high-energy PR minds are exclusively in the private sector. The ones who accept government jobs, alas, tend to be lazy, bureaucratic, and full of roadblocks — and good Lord, forget about reaching ‘em after 5 p.m.!

In today’s Democratic Party, nothing succeeds like failure. According to a recent poll tracker, the preferred candidates to contest the 2028 presidential election are a host of proven losers. Kamala Harris is the No1 choice, followed by Pete Buttigieg, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Cory Booker and, of course, the slickest of all the failures, California governor Gavin Newsom.

Give Karine Jean-Pierre credit. The former Joe Biden press secretary has faced criticism in the past over her performance behind the White House podium for a variety of reasons. But in launching her new book this week, she revealed the reason Democrats are having a hard time getting men to vote for them.

Democrats used to be the party of ordinary American voters, the working class, and the blue-collar crowd. Now, though, as Democrat policies become an increasingly unhinged amalgam of economic and social Marxism, normal Americans are so mysterious to them that Democrats are investing big bucks to learn how to talk to Americans…just as an anthropologist might learn how to use sign language to speak with an ape.

Do you know that you are a cis-male?” comedian Norm Macdonald asked a flummoxed Stephen Merchant, the co-creator of The Office, nine years ago. Macdonald explained of the peculiar “cis” prefix: “It’s a way of marginalizing a normal person.”

At least that amounts to the intent. The result of such terms marginalizes the speaker, at least when in mixed company. Self-marginalization does not work in politics. Some Democrats only recently learned this.

It’s a good time to bet on Donald Trump. His approval ratings are up, his America First agenda is already delivering results, and Democrats? They’re spinning in circles—no leader, no message, just a mess of focus groups and virtue signals.

The numbers don’t lie.

HBO’s Real Time host Bill Maher recently plastered the Democrat Party for catering to antisemitic young people in universities and claimed that the Party has gone from “men can have babies” to “we like the terrorists.”

Then came a warning to Democrats about where their base is headed.

“The problem is, the energy of the party is with the young—and the young are with the terrorists. That’s not good. So talk to your children and remind them: you don’t really want to live like your heroes in… pic.twitter.com/KLYRE0oNIk

Democratic Senator John Fetterman has claimed that it may not “possible” for the party to win back white men.

In a new interview with Puck’s Tara Palmieri, Fetterman offered a stark assessment of the Democrats’ ability to regain support among white male voters. Asked about how the party could win white men “like himself” back, Fetterman responded: “I’m not sure if that’s possible, to be honest.” He then warned that support among that demographic had been “seriously eroding for a while”. What’s more, “In some cases, people don’t even want to say it publicly […] but they just feel like the other side seems to be saying, ‘Men are the problem.’”

The Democrat Party’s selection of Ken Martin and David Hogg as their new leaders prove that they haven’t learned anything and still need to spend time in wilderness timeout before trying to be relevant again.

In case you didn’t pay attention, and you’re completely excused if you didn’t, the Democrats had an election over the weekend to choose a new party chair.

It’s someone named Ken Martin, and he’s been the chairman of the state party in Minnesota — where Democrat politics produced Tim Walz, Ilhan Omar, and Keith Ellison when it wasn’t treating the police like Bane did in Gotham and opening the windows to enjoy the smell of burning cities.
