Happy Belated “Bellyaching Because Democrats Aren’t Doing It Right” Day to All Who Celebrate

As you know, the Friday before election day is the time when fair weather friends, sunshine patriots and, as of late, many of our Never Trump "allies", gather together to bitch and moan that Democrats have not adequately stepped up to the job of reversing the fortunes of the American fascist party  -- a fascist party which those same fair weather friends, sunshine patriots and,Never Trump "allies" all had a hand in creating.

But that last little fact is somehow never mentioned in their solemn, sour conclaves.  Instead we are treated to yet another airing of their grievances against the Democrats because we failed to do whatever the whatsit these "Centrist", "Center/Right" dispossessed recently-former Republic aristocrats feel should have been our Job #1.

The proper attitude of these fuckers should, of course, be apologizing without ceasing and begging Democrats for forgiveness for the decades they spent helping to build the doomsday machine that is bearing down on us all, then turning their unearned positions in the media over to people who weren't wrong about the Right all along, then asking what more they can do to help us win.

Instead we get the Bulwark's Beg to Differ podcast, this week featuring Reagan era fossil and Disparaging Aunt Who Thinks You Would Have Been Better Off Marrying That Rich Accountant, Linda Chavez saying shit like this:

Chavez: I... I just wanted to say something that, um, hasn't been, uh, and that is, uh, Kamala Harris and the transsexual issue. 

Here we go.  Also "Kamala Harris and the Transsexual Issue" is definitely the name of my garage band if I ever get around to forming a garage band.  . 

Chavez: And I think that the fact that those commercials -- those, uh, Trump commercials --run every time there's a sporting event... I mean they're clearly aimed at male voters, um, who I think are probably more uncomfortable on that issue and she needed a...

Wait for it...

Wait for it...

Chavez: Sister Soulja moment.

And there it is.

Chavez:And she she hasn't given herself that. She might have been able... I don't think she could do it at this point on that issue, uh , y'know she's basically... the campaign... not... she has has more or less tried to diminish this issue and clearly it it's not a huge issue in terms of the number of people it affected, uh, but, y'know, some of us have been warning that this was an issue culturally that doesn't sit well with the American people.

So, find a trans person.  Punch them in the face on camera.   And bingo bongo, you've won over drooling incels!  Yay!  Except drooling incels also hate women generally, and black people, so there's that.

Remember, kids, to please Conservative pundits, Dems must always hunt up some symbolic hippie to punch to prove to Conservative pundits that they love Murrica or whatever.  

I can easily image this same group of Senior Center cafeteria opinion havers having exactly this same gripe session in 2004, after Dubya won re-election of the strength of Karl Rove and Matthew Dowd putting gay-bashing referenda on the ballot in swing states to make sure the Conservative Evangelicals came out on force, advising Democrats that if they wanted to get right with "the American people", they would have to have a Sister Soulja moment with Teh Gays.

BTW, the momentary silence you hear at the end of Ms. Chavez' remarks is Tim Miller not saying a damn thing.

Instead, Bill Galston, another relic from the Land That Time Forgot,  piped in with this:

Galston:  First of all I agree with what Linda just said emphatically...

What these goofs actually know about "the American people" could fit in a gnat's fanny pack, 

So, once again, happy belated “Bellyaching Because Democrats Aren’t Doing It Right” Day to all who celebrate
