Dem strategist TORCHES her own party for being out-of-touch: ‘That’s not how normal people think’

Amid the fallout of Vice President Kamala Harris’s epic election defeat, Democrats are turning on their own to assign blame.

A CNN contributor took a blowtorch to the Democrat Party in an on-air rant declaring they are “not the party of common sense.” Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky unloaded after being asked whether President Joe Biden should have dropped out of the race sooner than he did or if he should have opted not to run for re-election at all.

“You know, I’m going to speak some hard truths to my friends in the Democratic Party. This is not Joe Biden’s fault. It’s not Kamala Harris’s fault. It’s not Barack Obama’s fault. It is the fault of the Democratic Party in not knowing how to communicate effectively to voters,” Roginsky said.

“We are not the party of common sense, which is the message that voters sent to us. For a number of reasons, we don’t know how to speak to voters,” she continued.

“When we address Latinos — and language has meaning — we address Latino voters. as Latinx, for instance, because that’s the politically correct thing to do, it makes them think that we don’t even live on the same planet as they do,” Roginsky added.

“When we are too afraid to say that, ‘Hey, college kids, if you’re trashing a campus of Columbia University because you aren’t happy about some sort of policy and you’re taking over a university and you’re trashing it and preventing other students from learning that that is unacceptable.’ But we’re so worried about alienating one or another cohort in our coalition that we don’t know what to say,” she said.

But she was far from done with the brutal reality check.

“When normal people look at that and say, ‘Wait a second, I send my kids to college so they can learn, not so that they can burn buildings and trash lawns,’ right? And so on and so forth. When we put pronouns after names and say she/her, as opposed to saying, ‘You know what, if I call you by the wrong pronoun, call me out, I’m sorry, I won’t do it again,’ but stop with the virtue signaling and just speak to people like they’re normal,” Roginsky’s sensible advice continued.

“I speak the same language to everybody. But that’s not what Democrats do. We constantly try to parse out different ways of speaking to different cohorts because our focus groups or our polling shows that so-and-so appeals to such and such,” she said, bringing to mind the many accents Harris employed on the campaign trail.

“That’s not how normal people think. It’s not common sense. And we need to start being the party of common sense again,” she added.

“Joe Biden is not responsible for that. Neither is Kamala Harris. It is a problem that Democrats have had for years. I’ve been banging the drum on this for I don’t know how, probably ten years, if not longer, on this,” Roginsky pointed out.

“We need to get back to being the party of common sense that people look at us and say, we understand you, we appreciate what you say because you speak our language. And until we do that, we should stop blaming other people for our own mistakes,” she concluded.

Roginsky’s scathing assessment of her own party impressed social media users who couldn’t have agreed with her more.
