If Democrats really need to “save democracy” from MAGA Republicans, why is their social gathering spending hundreds of thousands on this 12 months’s primaries to spice up . . . MAGA Republicans?

A brand new evaluation by The Washington Submit discovered Democrats have shelled out $53 million this 12 months to help “far-right” candidates in Republican primaries. In Illinois alone, they coughed up a whopping $35 million to assist Donald Trump-backed state Sen. Darren Bailey defeat Aurora mayor Richard Irvin, who may’ve been the state’s first black governor.

In some instances, Dems purchased adverts highlighting wannabes’ “hard-line views” to assist them draw conservative votes. They’ve additionally merely smeared moderates to learn MAGA Republicans.

It’s nakedly cynical: Dems determine extremist GOP nominees shall be simpler for his or her candidates to defeat come November — which makes it well worth the danger of electing a couple of Trumpies.

That's: Each main Democratic marketing campaign committee is boosting the motion they name a dire risk to democracy to be able to maximize Democrats’ energy.

And by no means thoughts that, even when it works, it provides “liars” a “platform” to “drumbeat their message” and erode belief, to cite Democratic ex-Rep. Tim Roemer.

President Joe Biden himself huffed final week about the necessity to put politics apart for the sake of democracy. But when requested about this skeevy recreation, Vice President Kamala Harris dodged, saying she gained’t “inform individuals learn how to run their campaigns.”

Democratic pollster Geoff Garin justified it by arguing that a Republican majority in Congress would result in “critical harm.” Worse than what Dems insist is the potential dying of American democracy itself?

We’re on document condemning 2020-election denialism, time after time after time. However Dems must shut up about the way it poses an existential risk to America except and till they cease placing their cash the place Donald Trump’s mouth is.
