Enough with the blame game
Maine has the most prominent rocky coastline. Hawaii is the happiest state. Maryland has the most government funding for the arts. Oregon has the best infrastructure. Readers, besides being a political writer, I am also quite the state trivia nerd. I love learning things about every part of America. But what about THIS question? From where do the biggest political BLAMERS come from?
Hint: it’s not a state. Answer-it is the pundits, politicians, and armchair psychologists of Washington DC. In the wake of Donald Trump’s win, it seems That EVERYONE is suddenly a critic—and they have lots of advice. The Dems lost because of (fill in the blank.)
Kamala needed to be more authentic. Kamala didn’t do enough interviews! Democrats are elitists! Democrats must do better at communications!
It’s like some crazy room full of fake diagnoses from armchair psychologists nodding sagely as they dole out this advice, that advice for whom thee patients — us.
My gosh, one can even smell the pipe smoke from these fake counselors, huffing and puffing with their own self-importance.
It makes my teeth gnash together every time I hear it. It makes my hair stand on end.
Folks, here is the TRUTH. Because at Palmer report, we’re all about the truth, right? So here it is.
This is all BULLSHIT—unmitigated bulshit.
Think of this:
Many, if not most, of these armchair quarterbacks, doing their Monday morning quarterbacking are the SAME people who, during the countdown to the election, said stuff like this:
She’s running a great campaign!
Wow — Kamla is knocking it out of the park!
She’s selling out stadiums!
It’s just like when Obama ran!
My friends, the SAME people who made those comments are now the ones posing as Democratic shrinks. It’s repelling.
I have written many articles about who I think the blame lies with. This is not an article about that. What I want to say is: Stop the blame game. Democrats – the party that I love — DOES have a habit of eating their own. This tendency goes back years. When things do not go our way, finger-pointing begins.
And it isn’t healthy. This is when we need to prop each other up, not tear each other down. If there is ONE thing this writer wants to see, it’s for this condescending blame game to stop. It helps nobody; it pits us against each other, and there is no reason for it.
