In a recent interview, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) attempted to explain why some black Americans are turning away from Joe Biden and the Democratic Party. However, her explanation only seemed to further highlight the detachment from reality that Democrats seem to be experiencing. Crockett argued that black Americans are voting based on their “feelings” rather than facts and understanding. She claimed that their perception of reality is influenced by how they felt in the moment they cast their vote. This explanation not only insults black voters but also dismisses their ability to make informed decisions.
It’s clear that Crockett is simply trying to deflect from the real issues at hand – that Biden has failed to deliver on his promises and has left many Americans worse off. Black voters, like all Americans, can see the reality of their own situations and understand how policies impact their lives. It’s not a matter of feelings; it’s a matter of results. And the reality is that under Trump, many Americans, including black Americans, experienced a stronger economy and greater opportunities. It’s no wonder they are hesitant to throw their support behind a Democratic Party that hasn’t delivered on its promises.

This is just another example of how out of touch and dismissive Democrats can be when it comes to the concerns of everyday Americans. Rather than listen to the people they claim to represent, they prefer to belittle them and ignore their valid concerns. It’s a shame that the Democratic Party seems more interested in maintaining power than actually listening to and addressing the needs of the American people.
