El Sayed and the art of conning voters

By telling outright falsehoods or attempting to hide their thoughts rather than speaking them plainly, left-wing Democrats — forgive the tautology — demonstrate what a bad idea it is to vote for them.

They treat voters with contempt, and the electorate should repay this feeling in kind. Political candidates who treat elections as con tricks rather than as forums for debate that allow informed voters to choose should not be given the chance to close their fists around any lever of power.
