President Joe Biden and the rest of the Democrats have convinced us that “democracy is on the ballot.” They sent out Biden twice to assure us that if extreme MAGA Republicans sweep the midterms, there might never be another election again. Polling found that Biden’s message wasn’t moving the needle at all with voters, who were more concerned with inflation and the economy. Still, progressives like Jonathan Chait wrote that “of course, democracy is on the ballot.” Fine, run with that message. Better yet, ridicule voters who are more concerned with the price of groceries than the future of our democracy.
CNN’s crack panel is looking at the exit polls on Election Day, and Dana Bash halts the proceedings to announce that “democracy” didn’t even make the top five of voters’ primary issues this election.
"You know what's missing from this one, two, three, four, five, top five issues? Democracy."
"Oh, yeah."

Lol. Producers need to tell them to not let their mouths hang open. Unreal reactions. Complete surprise

Because it's not a concern. Democracy is fine and will continue to be fine.

Translated: People aren’t concerned about what we told them to be concerned about.

But wasn’t democracy on the ballot? I was assured it was. Can you check one more time?

Because people know that it’s a made up crisis.

even among *dems* fewer than 6 percent of voters gave a shit about January 6 and Barack Obama/joe Biden’s bullshit about “democracy on the ballot,” amazing pic.twitter.com/I4Dz1QTQvz

Yeah… Democracy is missing in a midterm election with possibly the highest turnout in history.
Make it make sense

Liberals at @CNN are mistaking their objectives and obsessions with those of the people.

Maybe they're starting to realize that the Dem PR campaign about democracy being in danger isn't working. All those Jan 6th hearings, down the drain.

How many times do you have to tell them that the majority of people in this country don't care about Jan. 6th. They care about safety, secure borders, curbing inflation, ending COVID mandates, school choice . . . . and many other REAL issues that impact daily life.
🤣 Morons!

What geniuses in the White House sent out Biden twice to rant against extreme MAGA Republicans with inflation at its highest point in 40 years?
