According to the ever popular, ever powerful, and essentially mythical claim that anthropogenic climate change is destroying the world, the polar bears are dying, the ice caps are shrinking, and the very atmosphere we live and breathe in more toxic over the past few years.

The Democratic Party firmly believes in this power-grabbing absurdity, which is why the fact they need to have an actual climate change of their own – and very very soon – joyously ironic.
Replace “polar bears” with “senate seats,” and “ice caps” with popular support, and “toxic atmosphere” with, well, the woke toxic atmosphere that permeates the party and, again, over the past few years the party has succumbed to at least the figurative aspects of the supposed evils of climate change.
And that’s why the party needs its own climate change – if it is to move forward after the recent drubbing, the Democrats need to change their own environment and stop trying to change everyone else’s.
The socialite socialist statists that have permeated and mutated the upper echelons of the party must be dispensed with, the pronoun/trans/etc. agenda that must be cancelled (as it were,) and the ultra-reliance on white lower-upper middle class people with degrees (note – the term ‘well educated’ was not used ) must end.
They may have money and all-too-often meaningless letters after their name, but there are simply not enough of them to carry Democrats through to the future.
Now, I am not a Democrat and it may seem odd that I am offering tips and suggestions as to how they can re-animate their suicided corpse. But having national Democrats not be as silly/crazy as they are now and having a legit two-party system in which reasonable policy proposals could be hashed out are not inherently bad things.
Oh, and they will not listen anyway, so what the hell? I might as well.
How did the Democrats get here? First, the party marginalized/demonized anyone who would not go along with the progressive program. In part, it really was the loudest, bitchiness, and most extreme members of the party that ran the show and the few remaining grown-ups (cough, Joe Biden’s claim, cough) were too chicken to do anything about it. The party devolved into a Mensheviks versus Bolsheviks back room argument and the bolshies won because they just wouldn’t shut up.
It is politically axiomatic that once a group starts going “extreme,” the most extreme elements of whatever remains will run the entire show because they are the “purist.”

Of course, the most public aspect of this was the calling of everyone who disagreed with them a fascist. The public very quickly figured out this was an absurd and vicious lie, which ended up costing Democrats bigly – if I may borrow a term – in the recent election.
Second, the party thought that famous people help. They do, but not to the extent the party thinks.
George Clooney may translate into automatic box office in Hollywood, but he does not automatically translate into more votes at the ballot box. (Note – it is clear that Nancy Pelosi and some Hollywood/Silicon Valley types and assorted big donors pushed Biden out. Not sure that worked as well as expected, especially considering Biden clearly and obviously and intentionally futzed with Kamala Harris’ campaign.)
In other words, spending a few more dollars on TV ads in Wisconsin (like Hillary should have done) rather than blowing vast wads of cash on celebrity hootenannies may have been the better option (Note – yes, Oprah got paid. Super double ick.)
