Inconsistency is nothing new for the Left – they’ve spent the last 40 years insisting we only have 10 years left to save the planet from catastrophes that never came, yet they are still proud members of the climate change doomsday club. But those “We’re all going to die in 10 years” Chicken Little cries at least had several years between when they were made and when they were proven to be lies (and lie is the right word). Now the left, specifically the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, are only waiting hours before contradicting themselves. That’s “progress,” I guess.
The DCCC is the campaign appendage (I’ll let you choose which one) of the House Democratic Caucus. All those lunatics, racists, socialists and just plain anti-freedom and anti-American Members of Congress that seem to have a satellite office at the MSNBC studios are members of this group. If you’ve ever watched an anti-Semitic or racist Democrat say something wildly stupid to Joy Reid or Chris Hayes and thought to yourself, “How did this moron ever get elected?'' It was because of the DCCC.
On May 24th, the DCCC sent an email “imploring” suckers, er, I mean Democrats to donate before their “9-hour deadline.” What deadline happens on the 24th of any month? None, and they don’t even really try to pretend it’s real, they just made it up for midnight that day.
“WOW!” the email opens, like a crush note a 12-year-old would write. “Since extreme MAGA Republicans officially took back control of the House, Hakeem Jeffries, Nancy Pelosi, AND Jamie Raskin have ALL told us how high the stakes are. They know that we can’t afford to idly sit by while far-right extremists wreak havoc on our democracy. So we’re calling for 19,800 grassroots Democrats to step up before our midnight deadline to join them in the fight, DEFEAT House Republicans, and make our bold House Democrats proud. Will you step up with $3 to the DCCC to help reclaim our House Majority?”
Yes, $59,400 will flip the House, but only if raised by midnight a year and a half before anyone votes. It concludes, “When three of our most beloved Democrats tell us that the stakes are sky-high, we CAN’T sit on the sidelines. So will you stand with Hakeem, Nancy, and Jamie and rush in $3 before our midnight deadline to reclaim our House Majority?”
How sad is it that people it’s unlikely their families actually enjoy spending time with are who Democrats highlight as someone you wouldn’t want to disappoint?
But the DCCC was back two days later with an email titled, “EVERYTHING. JUST. CHANGED.” That’s pretty big, right?
“Did you see this?!,” the same 12-year-old writer asks. “Since President Biden called on us to reclaim our House Majority, the GOP’s lead in the polls has completely EVAPORATED!!! We’re officially LEADING by two points in the race for the House Majority. This is our once-in-a-generation shot to reclaim the most important House Majority in history -- but NOT if we fail to take advantage of this opportunity. We’re calling on 15,500 grassroots Democrats to spring into action before our midnight deadline and answer President Biden’s call. Will you rush $3 to elect House Democrats?”
Only $46,500 to reclaim the House…a year and a half before anyone votes. No poll was actually cited in the email, so it’s impossible to know what they’re talking about. But lying is never an impediment to Democrats, and THEY’RE WINNING, right? Well…
The next day, Saturday, the DCCC emails with the subject line, “throwing in the towel.” But things were going so well just on Friday?
“We’re emailing you for the third time in 24 hours because we desperately need your help and your $3,” it starts, “we’re watching helplessly as Republicans across the country CEMENT their hold on the House: FIRST: Mega donors helped them raise $12.3 MILLION in one night. THEN: Their shady, dark money allies launched attack ads against SIX vulnerable House Democrats. NOW: The latest polls just revealed that their attacks are working: They just took the lead by a whopping THREE points!! We hate to say it, Carole, but if we let Republicans outwork and outraise us right now, we can kiss our hopes of flipping the House blue goodbye.”
Just the day before they were ahead, now they’re in despair? And who is running ads for House races 18 months out? No one.
“We hate to say it,” they conclude, “but if we let Republicans outwork and outraise us right now, we can kiss our hopes of flipping the House blue goodbye. We REFUSE to let that happen. But we can’t stop them without you. That’s why we’re urgently calling on 22,000 grassroots Democrats to step up with $3 to the DCCC before midnight to defend our House Democrats and stop Republicans’ momentum in its tracks. Please, Derek, can we count on you?”
No, you cannot. But I would like to know how this $66,000 will turn things around when the other $105,900 you begged for in the previous 2 days didn’t cut it.
Either the DCCC is made up of morons or their donor base is…or both. It’s probably both.
