OUR BIPOLAR DEMOCRATS



I wrote here about the Democrats’ current money-raising campaign, which features the claim that Republicans propose to “dismantle Medicare and Social Security.” When it’s fundraising time, the emails never stop–and it’s always fundraising time.
Yesterday the Democrats were depressed:

From: Democratic Headquarters [mailto:dccc@dccc.org]
Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2013 7:47 PM
To: Hinderaker, John H.
Subject: bad news, John
In case you hadn’t noticed, Democrats don’t capitalize email subject headers. This is apparently a focus group-tested technique.
John — We have some bad news.
The Koch Brothers have been waiting for the right moment to crush President Obama’s progressive agenda — and it could be coming sooner than you think.
That’s right: House Republicans are attempting to use the upcoming debt ceiling deadline to take the economy AND the middle class hostage.
The Democrats never make arguments when they address their faithful, nor do they ever relate facts. Rather, they tell stories. Their stories always have a simple plot, and they personalize everything.
