Democrats did not win the last Senate elections. Republicans did. They did not win by as wide a margin as they needed to maintain control of the Senate, but the American people backed them, not Democrats.
And Democrats cannot handle that. They pretend that they received a landslide last November and January, when they actually lost. By believing their own Fake News, Democrats set themselves not only to fail but to fail spectacularly.
Republicans won 20 of the 35 senate races last year. Republicans received 49% of the vote, Democrats 47%.
This split the Senate 50-50. As president of the Senate, Vice President Kamala Harris decides any tie vote.
But Democrats want to pretend that they have this mandate from the people, which they do not have.
The echo chamber of the Washington media unthinkingly repeats their talking points. So reliably on message are ABC-CBS-CNN-NBC-MSNBC-AP that I truly believe their anchors are trans-species parrots. After decades of misleading the public, most people no longer follow them down the dark alleys of politics, where liberals mug them.
For example, since January the media have called Republican efforts to reform state voting laws Jim Crow. The media portrays Democrats as champions of voting rights, when in fact Democrats want to void state laws and have Washington run state and local elections.
The things Democrats want, voters do not want.
CNS News reported on its recent poll. It said, "Fully 78% of U.S. voters say asking voters to present a photo as proof of identity is an appropriate method of ensuring election integrity – more than four times the 17.2% who say it’s an unreasonable form of voter suppression. Another 4.8% say they 'don’t know.'"
Nevertheless, Democrats push their For the People Act (also known as the F**the People Act).
The only Democrat opposed is Senator Joe Manchin, who once ran state elections as West Virginia's secretary of state. Democrats want to blame him for their inability to sell their program to the American people.
Chris Cillizza of CNN wrote, "Democrats know they have already lost the legislative fight over the For the People Act -- and likely the possibility of any sort of significant voting measure in this Congress. What Manchin's vote on Tuesday will determine is whether they will have it as a political issue for next year's midterms or not."
They lost because they lost the last election, not because of Joe Manchin. The American people rejected the ultra liberal, America last policies of Democrats in the 2020 Senate elections.
But Democrats want to blame Manchin for their failure to sell socialism to the American people.
Democrats face a backlash.
Politico reported, "Liberals fume at Biden over demise of voting rights bill."
The story said, "Progressives are steaming that Biden didn’t use his bully pulpit to try to move the needle on the bill — or strike a deal allowing Congress to block GOP legislatures from curbing access to voting. They want to know how Democratic leaders can claim in one breath that democracy is in jeopardy — and in the next let this legislation crash and burn."
Biden did not use his bully pulpit because he cannot speak well in public. And he needs naps. Lots of them. He called it a day at 2:44 p.m. on Monday. He is not a good salesmen. I doubt he could sell ice cream to Cub Scouts on a hot summer's day, which is why they kept him in the basement during last fall's campaign.
Democrats have not won the Senate. Acting as if they did fools no one. Blaming Manchin gets them nowhere. And if their plan is to win in 2022 by voting on doomed bills, I see Republicans flipping the Senate.
