How do the media choose the Democratic Party’s “rising stars”?

Of course, any criticism of Abrams will immediately be denounced by liberals as racist and sexist, which is the most obvious reason why Abrams has been promoted as a "Rising star" of the Democratic Party.

Democrats are trying to tell us that Stacey Abrams not only deserved to win, but actually did win, and is therefore not a loser at all.

Two years after Hillary lost to Trump, Democrats promoted Abrams as a potential winner in the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election, and the predictable outcome - she lost by nearly 55,000 votes to Republican Brian Kemp - became the seed for a toxic conspiracy theory.

Since I'm already adjudicated guilty of these Thought Crimes, merely by doubting the Democrat victimhood narrative, perhaps I have nothing to lose by observing that Stacey Abrams is rather pudgy, thereby adding "Fatphobia" to the indictment against me.

The remaking of Democrats as the party of aggrieved misfits and disgruntled losers is, from a historical perspective, rather recent.

The idea of Democrats creating a "Leninist ruling class" - an American nomenklatura - through the elevation of people like Stacey Abrams seems far-fetched to me, but that doesn't mean "Evil fat women" aren't a vital part of the Democratic Party coalition.

Only a lucky few can be anointed "Rising stars," elected to the Aristocracy of Losers, and celebrated the way the liberal media celebrates Stacey Abrams.
