President Biden just enacted the most important infrastructure bill in our lifetime. But liberal pundits are using it as an opportunity to lament about how it's not big enough, so they can paint themselves as superior. And then they wonder why we lose elections we should win.

When a Republican President scores a victory of any size, you don't see conservative pundits and activists whining about how it's not good enough. They take the win. They beat their chest. They make it sound like a bigger win than it is. They build momentum on it.

Conservative pundits are pieces of filth, but they understand winning. They won't care about trying to position themselves as morally superior to their own party. They understand they're at war, and they want to win, so they take every win as a win.

When the Democrats land a win, every liberal pundit sees it as an opportunity to be a complete asshole about it. And then they turn around and bash the Democrats for their messaging, after they just made a point of shitting all over the Democrats' message.

This ugly pattern of liberal pundits trying to boost their careers, by dishonestly shitting on the Democratic Party, won't stop until you make it stop. You have to push back against these liberal pundits every time the pull this crap. Let them know you won't stand for it anymore.

Once you realize that 95% of liberal political punditry is just performance art where hacks try to get attention by dishonestly positioning themselves as being smarter and savvier than the Democratic Party, you can't unsee it. Then you understand what we're really up against.

The thing is, the Republican Party and the right wing pundits are all in on the same con game: get rich by lying about everything.

The Democratic Party is actually trying to make things better, but most liberal pundits are trying to get rich by lying about the Democratic Party.

So of course the Republican Party is "better" at messaging: the pundits on its side are actually on its side.

Whereas most of the pundits on the Democratic Party's side are actively working to undermine the party in order to build their personal brand.

Moreover, liberal pundits have collectively conditioned you to believe that if someone like me actually praises the Democratic Party or credits the Democrats with a win, then I'm just a cheerleader, or I'm just telling you what you wish were true. The entire mindset is perverse.

It's not a liberal pundit's job to toe the Democratic Party line. But it is a liberal pundit's job to properly credit the party when it does something right or scores a victory. It is a liberal pundit's job to amplify the party's message when that pundit agrees with it.

But almost no liberal pundits actually do their job in this regard. Worse, most of them have convinced you not to take any pundit seriously who is doing this aspect of their job. It's the most perverse thing I've ever seen in my life. And I grew up in Florida.
