If you watch cable TV news, you've been steeped in gloom-and-doom-for-Democrats coverage that focuses mainly on polls. We cats aren't sure what these polls are, or if they're surveying the right people, and/or asking them the right questions. We only know that the talking heads love to stoke Democratic hand-wringing with them.
Thanks, but no thanks.
Ever since Benedict Donald won the fluke election of 2016, he's been losing. Has anyone noticed that? Democrats won in 2018, won in 2020, staved off a "red wave" in 2022, and have won numerous special and state-level elections across the country, thanks to Dobbs. Democrats have also turned out a bunch of "Moms for Liberty" and other fascists at the county and school-board levels. In short, people seem to understand when their rights are being threatened.
But the gloom-and-doom continues. Joe Biden is too old, they say, and Trump is leading in key states, and nobody likes Kamala Harris. Even though we keep ruling at the ballot box — including just two weeks ago. Democrats cleaned up in Virginia, re-elected a Governor in deep-red Kentucky, and made a respectable showing in Mississippi. And Ohioans voted overwhelmingly for choice.
Tonight, we're happy to say the success continues, with news that the Democratic Party nearly doubled Republican fundraising in October: $13.1 million to $7.1 million. How can this possibly be, if things are as dire as the punditheads insist?
We'll tell you how. Aside from the facts that Democrats have accomplishments to point to and a winning message, it's kind of hard to see how Republicans can raise any money when they're engaged in fratricide. Every time we turn around, the GOP is consumed with infighting — with Ron DeSantis's PAC being just the latest example.
We Democrats have our own internal scraps, as the media will gleefully remind you. But they're nothing compared to what Republicans are doing to each other. Eyes on the prize, everyone. We cats PURR.
