Being a Democrat these days isn’t easy, but don’t believe for a minute that they haven’t developed a brand-new mission that apparently resembles the one that dates back to FDR. However, it has a brand-new brand, so they have that appeal. Which is lovely.

Let’s consider a quick look at where the Dems are right now before I get to Derek Thompson, Ezra Klein, and their” Abundance Agenda.”
Democrats” spending millions of dollars to learn how to win back the working course,” according to the Independent, with party officials” seen sleeping in posh hotels using a technique known as SAM, or” Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan.”
Yes, that will function.  ,
These guys will spend$ 20 million trying to persuade men to join a party whose unofficial anthem is” Lola” ( girls will be boys, boys will be girls ) — it’s a muddled, muddled, shook-up world; but don’t be alarmed. After all, this is the same group that praised Governor next slide. Music Hands for his” stereotypically male faculties.”

Walz, who is a few glitter short of Rip Taylor, belongs to the Democrats. Republicans? His next supermodel is likewise his top man’s second wife. How are you going to fight it out for the female ballot?
Or, as Glenn Reynolds put it on Monday,” I dunno, even you guys may stop completely sucking”?
Though not quite the style one would expect from a teacher of constitutional law, the counsel is mystic. But that’s precisely why I spent years reading Instapundit before beginning to write it.

The Democrats ‘ only real advantage is that one out-of-control judge is issuing one statewide temporary restraining order after another against the Trump administration, effectively creating a criminal veto over the course of a duly elected president out of thin air. That will only continue until the Supreme Court or Congress decides otherwise, or until Trump has had enough and adopts the style of Andrew Jackson.
If SCOTUS or Congress step away, it would be better for our institutions and social cohesion, but I’m not holding my breath. The court’s statement,” the court has made its decision, then let it maintain it,” will be the novel normal, absent the wisdom of one of the other two branches.  ,
I’ll leave that out.
According to a weekend record in the New York Times, the group’s “erosion of working-class support — among Black, light, and Latino voters— has unnerved every intellectual flap of the Democratic Party.”
Democrats losing citizens from the working class is similar to Your Friendly Neighborhood VodkaPundit losing involvement in martinis; are they dead and haven’t yet noticed?
Their name is synonymous. Thompson, Klein, and the Abundance Agenda are featured.
And a Second Thing: Really, if you have a much snow, gin, vermouth, and something delectable to stay on the end of a cocktail spear, we may create some magic. Indeed, at this time of morning.
Jonathan Chait covered the” Coming Democrat Civil War” for The Atlantic this weekend, with particular attention given to the Abundance Agenda. The plan is” a collection of policy measures designed to make it easier to create housing and facilities and for federal government to work,” according to left blogger Derek Thompson in 2022 and expanded on with Klein in their book of the same name this year.

The diversity plan contains a dramatic criticism of the previous half-century of American government, despite its bright name and sincere desire to find win-win solutions. In addition to that, it is a direct attack on the group of activist groups that have considerable control over the Democrat Party and are responsible for raising alarms on the left.
Chait reported that Democrat opponents “decry it as a system to penetrate the Democratic Party by ‘corporate-aligned interests’ ,’a strategy by center-right think container &, its liberal donors’, and’an anti-government statement for the MAGA Right ‘.”
According to Chait, The Abundance Agenda is a direct attack on the problems of the Barack Obama and Joe Biden governments, which initially sought to “follow FDR’s design, and once discovered it had somehow become unattainable.”
The “abundance” Democrats were the next FDRs, so I have some bad news for Chait and them. Contrary to popular belief, FDR’s public works expenditures, which included the completion of the Hoover Dam and TVA, didn’t end the Great Depression.  ,
According to Reason‘s report from the year before,” Recent empirical evidence by UCLA economists Harold Cole and Lee Ohanian” suggests that FDR’s economic policy “adds 7 years to the Great Depression.”
Obama gave us a trillion-dollar stimulus that failed, and Biden was unable to even install high-speed internet in a rural home despite distributing$ 50 billion. All three presidents regulated like your neighborhood HOA Karen on a cocaine bender while spending like drunk sailors.  ,

One caused the longest depression in American history, the other the weakest recovery since World War II, and the third the worst inflation since the 1970s.
It’s nearly impossible to reduce government waste, fraud, and bureaucracy, even with a Republican president backing Elon Musk’s DOGE. And our Abundance Agenda Democrats believe they are the only party to combine massive spending with unnecessary bureaucracy, which their electorate craves like oxygen.
Tim Walz’s running for Mr. Universe would be much better.  ,
