Today, Democrats want you to believe that your vote is a vote for the preservation of democracy. However, I believe many, including minority voters, will be voting against the Democrats’ condescending elitist nature.
There is a reason why I call the Democrat party "the party of the elitists" and it's less about their economic status but more about the attitude of the politicians who are supposed to be appealing to voters. They act as if we work for them instead of vice versa.
The Democrats lack any substantive strategy for appeal other than lazily attempting to reference your identity, which comes off as inauthentic and oftentimes, extremely condescending.
Joe Biden is a great example of a Democrat politician who can't help but to say to black people that they're "just as good" as non-black people. While discussing HBCUs, Joe Biden stated "You're just as smart, you're just as bright, you're just as good as any college in America".
But who said that they weren't? This isn't a mainstream narrative. However, Joe Biden constantly says these condescending remarks about black people and black institutions.

This would be like a man going to a woman and saying "You're just as smart as any man". Who implied they weren't? Why would you all of a sudden say this? These are the types of questions I have any time I hear this level of racial condescension coming from a Democrat's mouth.
How about Stacey Abrams implying that her lack of black male enthusiasm is due to them being tricked with "misinformation"? It is the elitism of these people to not even attempt to look at themselves as a possible reason for their lack of appeal: it's always external.

Even Democrat pundit Joy-Ann Reid believes that Americans didn't even know the word "inflation" until Republicans started saying it. These people are oblivious to their condescending aura because they find no value in our concerns anymore.
If they lose, they will scapegoat the American people as being ignorant, racist, and irredeemable white supremacists. Or as Hillary Clinton once stated, we are "deplorables" who don't know what's best for us.
They no longer try to sell us on a message, they instead shame us if we reject it. These are the new-age politicians of the elite class who don't even try to hide their disdain for us because it's part of their ill-advised political strategy.
They are unelectable, unrelatable, and unaccountable for their failures. We all know that when the red wave comes through, it will be framed as the American people failed to "protect democracy" rather than how they failed to protect the American people.
If Stacey Abrams loses, it will be because of systemic racism or because of black men: you choose. It couldn't be due to her anti-natal views or lack of coherent messaging that has a broad appeal because that would make her at fault; let's not forget our positions as scapegoats.
I'm tired of the condescending characters that exist in our political realm. I'm tired of some of the most influential people in our society acting like victims when they don't get the outcome they want. I'm tired of politicians thinking that we work for them.
This red-wave is going to expose how Democrats don't know how to swim in a sea of pissed-off voters who are tired of being ignored, blamed, and talked down to.
Hubris will always be their anchor to the bottom of the political sea.
