The Democratic Party Is Running on Empty

One of my favorite animated movies is the 2004 Disney Pixar  flick 'The Incredibles.' Even now, 20 years later, it holds up well. In that movie, superhero parents Bob and Helen Parr have to hide their powers in a world where supers are outlawed. Two of their children, Violet and Dash, struggle with having powers that they can't use; especially Dash, who has super speed. During a conversation with her son, Helen says that 'everyone is special' and Dash rightly replies, 'Which is another way of saying no one is.'

He's right, of course.

I bring this up because Hope Walz, the daughter of failed Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz, has once again pulled out the old Leftist trope that running is for 'privileged people' (read: racist).

In fairness to Hope, her parents are Tim and Gwen Walz, so we can see she inherited their intellectual skills.

But she's not the first person to bring that up.

MSNBC argued with a straight face that physical fitness is an 'obsession' of the 'far-Right' and indicative of 'white supremacy', and, throughout the years, various physical activities have been labeled racist, including skiing, swimming, camping, and mountain climbing.

Much like Dash said, when everything is political and racist, nothing is. 

Hope's outrage stems from running influencer Katie Mackz, who committed the unforgivable sin of spending time with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Mackz posts videos of her running with and interviewing various guests, and the Left lost their minds when she did the same with someone associated with the Trump administration.

Here's what the Independent wrote:

Popular running influencer Kate Mackz is facing heavy criticism for her latest guest, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Mackz is known for conducting her interviews while running alongside her guests, which have included celebrities such as Jared Leto, Barbara Corcoran, Jason Derulo and Noah Beck while running.

Last year, her interview with the Democratic nominee for vice president, Tim Walz, went viral in the run-up to the election, earning more than 150,000 likes on Instagram.

...

Mackz’s comments on Instagram and TikTok were instantly flooded with condemnations as many followers had assumed Mackz’s video with Walz was her way of aligning with the Democratic Party.

'This administration is sending people to prisons without due process. making this video because you think its some quirky ‘both sides’ girlboss journalism is so uneducated. how embarrassing,' one person raged.

Was that person Hope Walz? Cause she seems kinda rage-y.

I'll note here that Mackz didn't have to delete her video of Walz thanks to online bullying from the Right, thus proving which party is the one of tolerance and diversity.

Over the last several years, I have watched with fascination how the Democratic Party and the Left have repeatedly abused voters in their rabid pursuit of power. It's both blatant -- as in the harassment faced by Mackz -- and more subtle, as in the Left's undermining of health and physical fitness as racist and 'political' (but that's a topic for another time).

What it shows, however, is this: the Democratic Party is bereft of substantive policy ideas and plans, and they remain grossly out of touch with the vast majority of Americans. 

We do not see running as political or an exercise for 'privileged' people.

But we do see the Democratic Party is running on empty.
