Observing the lack of media curiosity about who runs the country while Joe Biden takes weeks of vacations, Steyn asks:

If that question is of no interest to the media or the majority of the American people, then what is the point of being breathless with excitement over a two-year presidential election campaign? Or even the truncated three-month express-check-in Kamala Harris version?

Arguably, Donald Trump became president because enough Americans were fed up with elections’ meaninglessness, and the Democrat establishment has responded by making them even more so.  None of it — the health of the nation, the policies, the candidates — seems to matter anymore, provided the Party stays in power.

Steyn goes on to observe that France’s ruling party is refusing to step aside despite losing, and English progressives’ governing like they’ve got a mandate when their victory was narrow.  As he writes, “when the left win, they’re in power; when the right win, they’re in office.”  In England’s case, that means the elimination of the right to speak against government immigration policies.

Again, that “doesn’t leave a lot of point to the democratic process, does it?”  No, and time is getting short to put a stop to this deterioration.
