” The Sand Folks are simply startled”, Obi-Wan Kenobi explained to fresh Luke Skywalker. The smart Jedi Master ( who actually should’ve been a classmate and warned Luke never to kiss his girlfriend ) was referencing the Tusken Raiders of Tatooine, but he could’ve even been speaking about the modern-day Democrat Party: They’re simply startled, too.

It’s why they removed Joe Biden from the solution.
There is absolutely NO chance that a terrible argument that occurred a few months before an vote may cause the GOP to stage a coup and remove a sitting president. No manner, no how — hardly ever!
But then again, Republicans and Democrats think different.
The biggest flaw Republicans have is that they do n’t think like Democrats when it comes to planning and executing political tactics. ( And it’s also true that the exact opposite. ) We expect the opposition to create similar estimates and/or risk-reward estimates. When they do n’t, our mind goes into speed, leading to completely crazy crime ideas. ( If you do n’t believe me, go watch five minutes of MSNBC. That’ll give you a good take of the progressive side. )
Republicans and Democrats may coexist on opposing sides of the planet if people are from Mars and women are from Venus.
Conservatism is immediately tied to our previous — to American customs— and as such, Republicans worth concepts like nationalism, culture, and accepting institutional norms. There are some behaviors that a traditional conventional simply would n’t engage in, which is to a large extent politically limiting because it actually limits our motion.

One of the things that made Trump so special was that he was the first major Republican to veer away from these limitations and pursue whatever it took. We had n’t seen anything like that in our lifetimes.
But Democrats are n’t burdened by these intellectual limits.  ,
The Democratic Party is less about fighting for certain thoughts, and more about using authorities to gain important divisions: people, minority, immigrants, environmentalists, etc. A coalition worker in Pennsylvania has very little in common with an activist in San Francisco, for instance, but they’ve both decided that the Democrat Party may be their vehicle-of-choice to get a bigger piece of the pie. It’s a partnership party with many, many parties and many, many opposing goals.
If you’re a Democrat, you value state as a means to expand the ideas and principles you care on. If you’re a Democrat, the purpose of government is to advance constituencies ( people ), not ideas: All that matters is whose hog gets slaughtered… and who gets the pork.
And that’s how we know Kamala Harris truly, legitimately believes she’s winning right now: They have n’t taken any risks since giving her the nomination.

Most people are probably unaware of Morton Blackwell, a star in the traditional activity. Decades ago, he founded a conservative training center called the Leadership Institute that’s now trained over 161, 000 conservatives, including sitting congressmen, sitting senators, a past vice president, and activists like James O’Keefe and Grover Norquist ( and, uh, me ). One of Blackwell’s most famous articles is his Laws of the Public Policy Process.
Rule# 38:” In elections, nothing goes unless it’s pushed”.
As long as Kamala Harris believes she’s winning, she’s not going to take any risks. No great bets, no bold movements.
Why?
Because Democrats are like the Sand People: They’re quickly startled. When they’re in a anxiety, believe me, you’ll know right away:
- Kamala Harris did unapologetically open up and conduct numerous interviews, including angry ones.
- The tale may be planted on racism and sexism as Kamala’s defeat is the focus of the mainstream media’s extensive coverage of how bad and terrible British voters are.
- Tim Walz may be taken from the mothballs and placed somewhere a sensor pointing.
- The Democrats may make bold new regulations available as soon as possible that benefits whatever demo is shrinking.

We’re not that already. Right now, the Democrats really, actually think they’re winning. They’re no “pushing” anything and are glad with the status quo.
This does n’t mean they’re actually winning, of course. Hillary Clinton knew she was going to succeed in 2016 as well. But it does show how they’ve privately assessed the party’s trajectory. Recently, there’s been way too much talk from liberals that Trump is on cruise control, headed for an easy win.  ,
These liberals may ultimately be correct, but the Democrats ‘ internal polling does not match up. Because, when they REALLY think they’re losing, you’ll 100 % know. It’ll be visible.
Also if you’re not a Jedi Master.
