You and I know it and can see it, but thus far in the 2024 general election campaign, Democrats have resisted overt admissions that president senile Joe Biden and his fellow party members are losing badly in the public persuasion lead-up to this year's crucial vote,
Democrats aren't renowned for having honesty and integrity, but their most recent plays at defending the obviously mentally dilapidated Biden have been extreme even by their low standards.
Clearly the ultra-leftists are taking it upon themselves to defend the defenseless so as to convince their gullible and hopelessly ignorant followers to join the senile Joe reelection train before it's too late.
Democrats understand that EV dictates would have little chance of survival if Donald Trump were elected – and they fear he will be – so whatever they can push through now could potentially save the idea later. Republicans don't have a good track record of getting rid of government mandates once they're enacted, so who's to say future Republican congresses will grow a backbone and return consumer choice to the new car purchase equation?
Better to mandate and ban now while they have the chance, right? That's Democrats' thinking.
Lastly, Democrats are amping up efforts to shore up base constituencies, like African-Americans and Hispanics and young, single women.
This emphasis on maintaining voter constituencies that should already be "safe" is a flashing blaring red "warning" light that Democrats know they're losing. If Trump is actually as awful to the future prospects of Hispanics who are here legally, black voters and unmarried women, why are Democrats spending money trying to reassure these groups of how great senile Joe is for them?
Polls suggest that Democrats should be – and are -- very concerned about the future, specifically this year's presidential election. But even more revealing is Democrats' jittery behavior towards much of what is going on these days, including their inability to control the news narrative. They're panicking, and it's fun for conservatives to witness the fear fits.
