Mike Bloomberg, who tried and failed to represent the Democratic Party as a moderate, is attempting to warn the radicals that they are pushing the party off a cliff and that the party will not win in November as a result of its radicalization. He wrote on his website:
He actively supported attempts to retake control of Congress and the White House in 2018 and 2020, because the Constitution’s protection and the maintenance of democracy have never been more imperiled by domestic politics in his lifetime. He remained convinced that a strong and energized Democratic Party is necessary to counter the Republican Party’s alarming drift toward authoritarianism and tolerance for election tampering.
However, he was concerned that, barring a quick course adjustment, the party will be wiped out in November, across the board.
He uses the string of Democratic wipeouts over the last few months as evidence.
Three months after Republicans won major election upsets in Virginia and New Jersey, largely due to parental dissatisfaction with Democratic officials who catered to teachers’ unions and culture warriors at the expense of children, San Francisco voters recalled three school board members by nearly three-to-one margins. Because the three main causes that triggered the recall are not unique to the Bay Area, those results should translate to a 7 to 8 on the Richter scale.
Democrats must tell voters that schools have been closed for far too long and that fixing schools involves decreasing achievement gaps rather than abolishing standards.
That’s a logical statement, and it’s exactly what parents want to hear: they want to know that their children are receiving an excellent education and that their schools will not close again.
If Democrats don’t get their act together by November, they’ll be wiped out. The fact that they won’t is great news for Republicans.
