Chesa Boudin Recall: Democrats Refuse to Learn

Red lights are flashing and police sirens are wailing all across the Democratic Party. Yet the Democrats are striking a Frank Drebin pose: Nothing to see here, folks.

Substack columnist Ruy Teixeira is pleading with Democrats to abandon one or two of their craziest ideas, and make a point of breaking with one or two of their most extreme members, in his latest column, “Time for the Democrats’ Chesa Boudin Moment!” No, it isn’t. It can’t be. That would require a frank admission of error. From Joe Biden on down, the Democrats are convinced that they don’t have to change anything substantive at all. Because of their refusal to learn, November doom awaits them as surely as November chills.
