A Bit of Wisdom from Columnist Robert Stacy McCain
The always-interesting McCain has a current article ...
https://spectator.org/democrats-lost-races-spending/
... on the ungodly amounts of money the Democrats spent in pushing a handful of no-hoper Senate and House candidates against incumbent Repubs. Whole article is worthwhile, but I especially liked these two paragraphs (my emphasis):
"While disappointed Democrats were pointing fingers at Pelosi and pollsters, no one in the party stepped forward to accept responsibility for their overpriced defeat. Indeed, this is a metaphor for the Democratic policy platform, the core message of their progressive ideology being that no one is ever responsible for their own failures. If you’re a woman, your misfortunes are blamed on the “patriarchy”; if you’re black, it’s “systemic racism” holding you down. Whoever you are and whatever your problems may be, according to Democrats, everything is always the fault of some external scapegoat — you can never be held responsible for anything that goes wrong.
"This victimhood narrative has so deeply embedded itself in progressive thinking that it never occurs to any Democrat to acknowledge their own errors or to question their core beliefs. Whether it’s the Florida congresswoman weeping on a House conference call or the contributors to Amy McGrath’s Kentucky campaign wondering what the hell she did with that $90 million, no Democrat ever ponders the possibility that they have suffered the natural consequences of their own folly.
