Suddenly feeling frisky

The Democratic National Committee is crowing

DNC ad, “Winning.”

Democrats generally suck at tooting their own horns. But the new ad below shows more life than I’ve seen from the DNC in years. (They might finally deserve a Scooby snack.)

Donald Trump’s potentially criminal legal troubles and the party’s implicit — when its MAGA base is not explicit — condoning of anti-government violence have the GOP knocked back on its heels. The non-MAGA electorate has grown tired of that shit. The DNC for once is not letting people forget what Democrats have done for them with the slimmest of legislative margins, plus what Republicans will do to them if given the chance in November.

Naturally, the glass-half-empty crowd will grouse about what on their wish list has not appeared on a silver platter. But that’s not exactly how to sell prospective voters in a midterm election on getting off their couches.

Yes, I want more. More “acting like a party that fights for things its supporters care about, and against forces that threaten to harm them.” Sell the more.

It’s a start. Good DNC. Have a cookie.
