DCCC Chairman Admits to Dems: ‘We’re the Problem.'
PJ Media ^ | 3/14/2022 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 03/14/2022 3:40:42 PM PDT by Signalman

Party leaders often see their role as cheerleaders, but Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.), the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), must be privy to some devastating internal polling because he’s issued a dire warning to his fellow Democrats.

“If [voters] agree with us on the issues, why don’t they like us more?” Maloney asked.

Maloney has an answer, too.

“They think that we’re divisive and too focused on cultural issues. They think that we’re preachy. They think that we act like we know better than parents when it comes to their kids in schools,” Maloney said. “The problem is not the voters,” he admits. “The problem is us.”

They say the first stage to recovery is admitting you have a problem, and Maloney is admitting that the Democrats have a problem. But like others in the party, Maloney seems convinced it’s a messaging problem, not a rejection of their radical agenda. Maloney said that voters “think that we act like we know better than parents when it comes to their kids in schools.” Does he not get why they think that? Was the lesson from Glenn Youngkin’s surprise victory in last year’s gubernatorial election a problem with messaging, or the fact that Democrats literally argued that parents don’t have the right to know what their kids are being taught in school?

“Maloney said. “The problem is not the voters,” he admits. “The problem is us.””

Now that’s progress.

Perhaps some Americans have recently concluded that it’s best to be left along with Personal Liberty.

““They think that we’re divisive and too focused on cultural issues. They think that we’re preachy. They think that we act like we know better than parents when it comes to their kids in schools,” “

And they think your ideas only leads to disaster.

Those are their words going into the mid-terms. Let’s see how they act till then. And especially after. I don’t think their spots will change, frankly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Because you do act like you know better.

McAwful told us that parents should have no say in their kid’s education.

It would be progress if they admitted the problem with them is their blind and arrogant commitment to Marxist doctrine. Short of that they are playing games.

The midterm strategy should concentrate on how “perfect” Biden is.

As ms.behavin cogently observed......Biden doesn’t
even have a hemorrhoid.....he’s such a perfect a****le.

Biden never misses a chance to flaunt how perfect he is.

“I’m not going to make a judgment for other people,” he said recently, sounding more perfect than ever, when asked how he is able to reconcile his Catholic faith with his public support of abortion.

It must be a burden on perfect Biden to have created such perfection to be hounded by people who don’t appreciate his perfectness......sob.

His Atlanta speech revealed Biden’s intense dislike for Americans.......
and his displeasure at having created a “perfect government” for such horrible people.

Biden became unhinged in Georgia especially b/c Stacey Abrams was not there to hold his hand .

Biden made one startling declaration after another.

He reviled Americans who disagree with him about how he has “perfectly” ensured the integrity of the American electoral process.

To somebody as “perfect” as Biden, dealing with us modern-day noose-carrying Confederates, us vote-suppressing racist traitors, is such a burden when you’re THAT perfect.

We deplorables can never hope to achieve the perfection Biden......and the Democrats have achieved...... under his perfect tutelage.

Democrat Goes on Anti-Parent Tirade,
Says Education Concerns Are ‘Made-Up Cultural Bullsh*t’
Breitbart ^ | 14 Mar 22 | Jacob Bliss/Rebecca Thies
Posted on 3/14/2022, 6:30:33 PM by Signalman

Vulnerable Democrat Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-NJ) appeared to go on a tirade against parents taking issue with what their children are learning in school, calling their concerns “made-up cultural bullshit” stemming from a “fringe movement.”

In the video, exclusively obtained by Breitbart News, Malinowski was asked at a town hall event what Congress was doing to “protect educators, and our students and their identity.”

“One of the crazy things happening in America right now is we’ve got a political movement that says they care about kids, because the way they express that care is by banning books,” Malinowski replied. “And they don’t want to do a damn thing about the guns.”

It is unclear to which books the New Jersey Democrat is referring, but the two most prominent books targeted by parents for removal from classrooms contain pornographic and pedophilic material.

Those books, Lawn Boy by Jonathan Evison and Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maia Kobabe, have faced heavy scrutiny from parents who have issues with the graphic depictions of sexual acts in both books, and particularly depictions of sexual acts between adult men and children.

Note that he didn’t say “we think we know better.” All he wants is for the Illuminati to feign ignorance, for the sake of suckering the masses.

Yep,
Never underestimate the capacity of a democrat to learn the wrong lesson or to come to a self serving conclusion.
