The Democratic Party: Decades of blind loyalty
by its supporters

This week the publication Issues and Insights had a poll taken of registered Democrats to garner some idea of their overall opinion of the Democratic Party’s sudden back-room deal to dump Joe Biden as presidential candidate and replace him with Kamala Harris. The poll asked whether those polled agreed or disagreed with these three statements:

• The process the Democratic Party used to select its nominee for President did not yield the strongest candidate.
• The process the Democratic Party used to select Kamala Harris as its nominee was undemocratic.
• I lost significant faith in the Democratic Party because it did not disclose Biden’s health issues during the primary process.

For Democratic Party politicians, the results should be disheartening at best. A significant majority of the 1,240 registered Democrats polled agreed with all three statements, with 58% agreeing strongly or somewhat with the first statement, 52% agreeing strongly or somewhat with the second statement, and 54% agreeing strongly or somewhat with the third statement. As noted by Scott Pinsker of PJMedia in analyzing the results:

We’re beginning to detect the very early rumblings of a Democratic Party revolution. These are voters who never really liked Joe Biden, but amidst COVID, they tired of Trump and took their party at their word. Then, when Harris, Pelosi, Schumer and the rest assured us that Biden was still as sharp as a tack, they accepted it as Gospel. Later, when Harris was appointed undemocratically, they went along with it, too — holding their nose and ignoring the skyrocketing inflation, economic weakness, and atrocious housing market. Gotta take one for the team to “save democracy,” after all.

These voters have done absolutely EVERYTHING their party has asked of them. And they paid a price for it, too.

So, when the Democratic Party rewards their loyalty with a landslide loss, how do you think they’ll take it?

That’s probably a question the Democratic Party leaders should start pondering now — before the natives grow restless.

I think Pinsker and the poll misses the mark. To find out what its base truly thinks of the Democratic Party. these registered Democrats should have been presented with a fourth statement to agree or disagree with:

• I remain loyal to the Democratic Party and will still vote for its presidential candidate.

You see, it was very easy for these polled Democrats, who always view themselves as nuanced, educated, and open-minded, to agree with the condemnatory nature of the first three statements. In this sense no one should be surprised by the poll results. The Democrats behaved dishonestly in nominating Biden, and then acted like banana-republic back-room dealmakers in dumping him for Harris. This is on its face very obvious, and you would have to be blind, deaf, and dumb not to admit it.

The results from that fourth unasked statement however would have told us whether this bad behavior by Democratic Party power-brokers was bad enough to change some votes. I suspect it was not.

You see, what has been impossible to get registered Democrats to do is abandon that party, no matter how foolish, corrupt, racist, and oppressive its policies have been. The Democratic Party has been able to count on solid unquestioning loyalty from its base for decades. Nothing its politicians do makes a difference. They could support Hamas and its massacre and rape of babies and little children, and these Democratic voters will still vote for those politicians. They could refuse to prosecute criminals in Democratically-controlled inner cities, allowing a crime wave of unprecedented proportions to destroy those cities, and still these Democrats will vote for these politicians. They could bankrupt the country by sending aid to a foreign government, and it would not matter. Nor would it matter if these same politiicans used money reserved for American disaster victims to provide welfare to illegal aliens, whom these same politicians allowed to enter illegally.

They could even support letting boys leer at girls in girl’s bathrooms and locker rooms, while advocating the mutilation and castration of children, and registered Democrats would still support this party unwaveringly.

Time after time Democrats in power have supported and imposed similar foolish and sometimes very corrupt policies, frequently in direct opposition to the interests of the nation and its citizens, and ordinary Democratic Party voters would still vote for them blindly, sometimes simply because they are filled with hatred of the Republican Party, and will never vote for it because they see it as evil and “fascist and no different than Adolf Hitler,” as Kamala Harris herself said yesterday most absurdly about Trump.

The Democratic Party’s long time voting base

To determine whether a real revolt is about to occur in the Democratic Party we needed to know if the coup that replace Biden with Harris was enough to get Democrats to abandon their party, in significant numbers. Sadly the poll did not answer that question. If anything, it told us the opposite, because even now, after the events of the past few months, more than 40% of Democratic Party voters are blind, deaf, and dumb, and see nothing wrong with their party’s actions.

We will unfortunately not know whether Democrats are truly rejecting their party until after election day. Based their voting track record for decades, it is likely they will not, and that will signal a tragic future for our nation.
