The Democrat Complainathon

Stop the car. I need to get out.

I have to tune out the endless gloom cast by blue-leaning media outlets, including my staple diet New York Times, and Medium. I have to zap every story that sounds like bleeding hearts telling me there’s more bad news I hadn’t noticed yet.

I got the president I was hoping for. And the VP too, and the House. And the Senate — well, 51–49 would have been better. Joe Biden was my favorite candidate from day one of the 2020 story until day done. Now, we have a great deal of work to do.

I’m sure the complain-chorus serves some purpose in the universe besides click bait for sad people. I’m certain there’s some historical value to NY Times spewing sadness about ICU wards and people still dying even as vaccinations are rebounding and the new cases count is in steady decline. I bet there’s a reason so many Medium writers putting out new stories about how awful white people are — all of them — even as we try to heal and come together to build a color-blind nation that offers education, healthcare, a healthy economy and sane foreign policies, environmental foresight and fair immigration processes.

We’re a wounded nation. Some people won’t bounce back to happy just because we added a million new jobs by May 2021, or some other bit of good news.
