Vice President Harris has not had an easy go of it. From thankless, unsolvable issues (e.g., Central America’s corruption and violence)

This is dorky but I thought you all would appreciate the text of a Jake Bacharach tweet thread from like 2017

Common trope in media criticism: the media is/was structurally incapable of noting that the GOP is no longer a "normal" political party. Wrong! The GOP is a normal political party. It's the Democrats that are something else. The GOP is a distasteful, racist, weird party. Sure. But its fundamental commitment at all levels is getting itself elected. That's what parties do. Their whole purpose is to provide an infrastructure through which individual candidates can win office.

The Democrats, on the other hand, are something more like a nebulous consultancy for people too lazy to finish grad school. The Democrats are a "strategic communications firm" that bills city govs looking for "smart solutions" to "the problems of tomorrow." I make fun of the GOP as a party of professional grifters, which they are. But the Braziles of the world are running the *real* scam. In the immortal words of Frank Zappa, "we're only in it for the money."

If you try to understand the Democrats as a political party, you come away confused. If you consider them a "think tank," they make sense. Like a think tank, their main purpose is to employ failed academics, the Yglesii of the world pretending to do research. The Dems' main concern is to scam 6-fig salaries for guys with Ivy-League BAs, too dumb to manage grad schools language requirements. We laugh about all the right-wing welfare publications, but the whole Democrat party is welfare for Ivy-League mediocrities.

The GOP is lovely, but it's a regular, recognizable political party. Sure, it's got plenty of scammers, but at a fundamental level? What did the GOP do, in and out of power? It thought about winning elections, starting at the state level. What did the Dems do? They gave each other jobs. When they accidentally got power, they dithered and compromised. People mock Trump's laziness, but what did Obama do in the first 100 days with a supermajority? Make some laconic comments?

So I will join you in fighting against the "normalization" of Trump, but I won't let you pretend the GOP is something new. The GOP is America's right-wing party. it has been for nearly a century. It is the Democrats who became something weirder. "For every vote we lose in central PA, we'll gain 2 republicans in the suburbs?" Lol. Sounds like a "communications" grift to me. Sell that poo poo to the under-funded non-profit down the road. I'm not buying.

i feel like that as bad as the obama biden administration was it was only with hillary that this problem intensified both because she decided to run her campaign infrastructure entirely on the power of new math but also because she picked schumer as her point man in the senate to replace reid despite schumer having no apparent political talent whatsoever

at least when reid was around there was a concerted effort among democrats to push back against the most terrible ideas of the obama biden administration behind the scenes whereas now the closest thing these people have to a counterbalance is the squad and they actively refuse to wield political power the same way their republican equivalents do

I mean, there's also video going round of a guy in Congress showing why you should be suspicious of comforters in hotels and proving that if you know about a coke party in DC you should keep pretty quiet about it.

I was just saying that there’s another political story at the moment. I don’t want to even think about a hypothetical Rubin column praising Harris comments relating to DC coke orgies or the contents of that video.
