Democrats Lost But Democrats Will Never Stop

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

One thing you have to give the left, maybe even the only thing you have to give them, is that they never, ever stop. It doesn’t matter what the obstacles are or how many people have to be sacrificed (100 million in the last century), nothing dissuades the left from pushing their agenda forward. No electoral set-backs stop them, nothing. Democrats are like the Terminator: they cannot be stopped, they cannot be reasoned with and will never stop until they get what they want. 

People forget it took them 40 years of trying to get the government to take over huge chunks of the healthcare industry with Obamacare. It was wildly unpopular and cost more than 60 Democrats their seats and control of the House. They knew what they were doing, they did not care. 

That’s how the left operates: individuals are expendable for the greater good.

If you were thinking they’d lick their wounds, act like people who were just vanquished, you haven’t been paying attention. It’s not in them.

Flip to MSNBC and you will see insane conversations between crazy people about how popular they and their ideas are. Nothing, absolutely nothing, will convinced these people of anything different. 

That “leaders” and TV pundits act this way makes sense, to a certain extent. That anyone falls for it is the problem. That anyone gives these people money is a testament to the reality that a set of ideals can be stalked and obsessed over just as celebrities can. 

The day of the election, Democrats were sending out fundraising emails insisting they needed money to “fight” any legal challenges Republicans brought against them. Since the loss, the emails have continued. 

What the hell would the failed campaign of Kamala Harris need money for? Well, they not only raised more than a billion dollars in just over three months, they spent it all and then some. Reports have them being $20 million in debt (which just happens to be what those “concerts” they put on to draw a crowd reportedly cost them, by the way). Gotta retire that debt somehow, why not on the credit cards of suckers, er, others?

“First and foremost, we want to acknowledge the fear, confusion, and sadness many of you are feeling at this moment,” a recent email opened. “For others, you may be looking for something meaningful and important to channel your emotions toward. If that's you, then we're asking you to make a donation to the Democratic Party today.”

Some people eat their emotions, others max out the credit cards to the failed campaign of political hacks. 

“Here's why this request is so important,” it continues. “As you read this, there are U.S. Senate and House races that are either too close to call, or within the margin of recounts or certain legal challenges. They all need our help to get across the finish line.”

In other words, they lost by too much themselves, making the stealing their election impossible, but many other Democrats are in races much, much closer and those racist might be able to be stolen. That may sound simplistic, but it is correct.

It closes with, “Can you please rush a contribution to the Harris Fight Fund program today? We will put your donation to work making sure we succeed and count every vote in these final races.”

They want the money, they need the money. They may or may not spend some of it on the outstanding races, provided they have anything left after they pay their friends the $20 million owed, but they want the money for themselves. Having a cash cow that is exclusively for their milking is exactly how they view their supporters, and as long as there is one drop left in those credit card balances, why would they ever stop?

Another “thank you card” email asking for people to “sign” a card thanking Kamala for losing reads, “Even though the presidential results weren't what we worked so hard for, the truth is clear: Kamala Harris broke barriers, ran a historic presidential campaign, and inspired Democrats across America. She proved the importance of fighting for what we believe in, and from her first day as vice president to the last day of her campaign, she demonstrated what it means to be a champion for all Americans. We're organizing a card to thank her for her public service -- and we want YOU to sign!”

They are Terminators, provided Terminators always do the dumbest thing. Then again, Arnold Schwarzenegger did endorse Kamala, so maybe it all runs in the family?
