Kamala and Pete—Two Peas in a Woke Pod
The Democrats might not be able to drag their limping heroes to victory this time.

For those who may be wondering about the future of the Democratic Party after the senile fixture in the Oval Office departs, a podcast on RealClearPolitics produced for “Breaking Points” may be of interest. This discussion centers on who will become the Democratic presidential standard-bearer in 2024. Based on the comments, it seems the contest will be driven by the followers of two Democrats who have massive support among party activists: Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg. Both figures are leaning on the same Democratic constituency, which is full of party donors and local volunteers.
Never mind that Kamala’s approval rating has plummeted to 28 percent and continues to fall, as her utter vacuousness becomes apparent to independents and to more and more registered Democrats. It may be tough to tell which is more off-putting: Kamala’s gibberish about being some kind of minority victim or her cacophonous cackle each time she is asked a question. It may also not matter that Mayor Pete (formerly of South Bend, Indiana) was AWOL from his job as secretary of Transportation for three months and still sounds as if he’s on the moon when asked to explain the breakdown of the global and U.S. supply chains. His summer vacation was apparently well-spent, indulging in paternity leave after he and his homosexual partner adopted children and had themselves photographed together with their bespoke offspring in a birthing bed.
It does tell us something that Democrats are seriously considering such figures as presidential candidates and that their respective votaries are already taking sides. We are left to conclude that the leftist element of the party may now have such overwhelming control that they can establish these two peas in a woke pod as the party’s choices. Gone will be the pretense of a “moderate” Democrat in the White House presiding over what was supposed to be (but has not turned out to be) a centrist administration.
