The Dems closing message for 2022 campaign

 Washington Examiner:

Democrats are hemorrhaging support from just about every demographic in the final stretch of the midterm elections. Suburban women, Hispanics, and even black voters are running into the arms of the GOP, making it likely that Republicans will win back the House, Senate, and several important governorships.

But Democrats don’t seem to care. With the exception of a few vulnerable Democratic candidates running in tough swing states, such as Ohio Senate candidate Tim Ryan, much of the party has chosen to laugh off the issues of the day and concerns about their policies and chide those who take them seriously.

Take, for example, former President Bill Clinton, who was brought in to campaign for Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) over the weekend. Apparently, he thinks it’s hilarious that so many New Yorkers are concerned about crime. It’s not like Hochul “gets up every morning, goes to the nearest subway stop, and hands out billy clubs and baseball bats and everybody gets on the subway,” he quipped.

Maybe not, but that doesn’t change the fact that violent crime in New York is on the rise and no one in the Democratic Party seems willing to do anything about it. Even worse, Hochul has dismissed the issue herself, claiming increased crime rates are just a Republican “hoax.”

In Michigan, Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was given an opportunity last week to correct her false claim that public schools in her state were closed for only three months during the pandemic. She refused, insisting that schools were open by the fall of 2020. (Ann Arbor and Flint public schools started 2022 remotely). She also lied about her policy forcing nursing homes to accept COVID-19 patients.

When asked about her COVID record again on Monday, Whitmer claimed the audio cut out and cut the interview short. If you’re a Michigander who is still feeling the effects of Whitmer’s pandemic policies, too bad. You won’t get any answers or accountability from her.

...

The list goes on and on. Hillary Clinton, who rarely does her party any favors, suggested that voters who rank inflation and the economy as their top concerns just aren’t smart enough to understand which issues are really important. The View’s Sunny Hostin compared suburban women to cockroaches because they’re leaning to the Right this election cycle.

...

Insults of voters are about making people who already like you happy and not about changing minds.  Resorting to the politics of fraud should never be effective.  Since 2020 the Democrats have pushed a failed agenda that created inflation and allowed crime to run rampant.
