The Winner of the “Try-Hard Award” for 2021 Has Been Chosen – Opinion

Welcome to the first annual “Try-Hard Award.” An award that takes a look back on those who tried very hard to make us like them, a party, or a person, but only made us dislike them even more. To be sure, it’s been something of a year for try-hards, and it was difficult to decide who should be nominated.

Although there were some highs as well as lows during the Year of our Lord 2021, thanks to the internet and round-the-clock media outlets, some of those lows could be witnessed. To be sure, the vast majority of the lows were made possible by the left, which cannot seem to dig itself out of the radical hole they’ve been digging for themselves for the better part of a decade.

It’s that radicalism that has been creating some insane moments in our nation, but these moments would be nothing without the individuals who caused them.

Before I go into my nominations, I’d like to briefly explain why and how I made the choice I did. This group of four seems to be representing four categories for leftists. Although many players fall under these categories, these people seemed to best represent their territory. You may disagree with me, and that’s fine. In the comments, tell me who you think is more deserving. Until then, let’s go over the nominees.

California Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff

Schiff is the kind of person one forgets is there the moment he’s no longer in eyesight. The man is a plank of wood carved to look like a person, and despite my best efforts, I can hardly remember the state he’s from just off the top of my head.

What Schiff is lacking in personality, he makes up in determination. This is a man who is on a mission to defeat President Donald Trump…only there is no more Donald Trump, at least in the White House. Schiff was forced to focus on the January 6th riot that he claimed Trump has caused. Schiff believes that if he can just tie Trump to it, he’ll have finally gotten that bad orange man for good.

Only he can’t. Try as hard as he might, he can’t seem to nail Teflon Don to the wall. He was unable to get an impeachment in the House. That was a stalled case in the Senate. Now he’s relegated to attacking Trump supporters, mumbling words about erections when questioned about the Steel Dossier, and even doctoring texts to make his anti-Trump conspiracy theories seem more plausible.

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

AOC can often be the most horrible person. She’s less of a politician and more of a radical leftist figurehead whose primary job is to rally activist support.

Radical figureheads are more interested in putting on a show than doing actual work. This means crying when good things happen to Israel, throwing tantrums when a fellow Democrat acts in the best interests of his constituency and not the party, complaining that people aren’t asking her to help with their campaigns, thinks smash n’ grab burglaries aren’t real, wore a dress that read “tax-the-rich” on it to a gala that only rich people are invited to, and proclaimed she almost died during the January 6 riot even though no one entered her hallway and claimed that was Ted Cruz’s intention.

They are not the only ones. Some of the things she did this year alone, and she’s likely done so many you’ve forgotten most of them.

Kamala Harris

I can’t think of a person who has failed upward more than Kamala Harris has.

Harris failed early in the 2020 Democrat Primary. But thanks to Joe Biden’s wakingness and demand that he pick a woman from color for his running mate (and name recognition), Harris was the only one with the same willingness and ability to accept qualification. The DNC named her his running mate.

Since then, she’s been a powerhouse of try, benefiting the White House, the Biden administration, and the Democrat Party in general nothing. Everything she’s been tasked with she’s bungled, and she’s so unlikeable that they’ve tucked her into the shadows. I’ve heard that she makes it a hell to work with, and her chief of staff continues to be pushed aside to make other decisions.

It’s over for Kamala, but until the curtain comes down she’ll be awkwardly cackling and flubbing speeches.

Brian Stelter

Leftist media has been a disaster. CNN is a prime example. They have fired and investigated for both child and female sexual assault.

While CNN has so many try-hards to choose from, I couldn’t help but think that the worst of them all was Brian Stelter. Hot takes are what this man does. Instead of spending more time reporting on news, he is now spending much more time attacking Fox News. He calls for tougher press coverage of Republicans than Democrats to combat radicalism. He’s wildly inconsistent on his messaging, changing his stances with the wind.

The man is a muscular, slender body with an expressive mouth. If you look hard enough, you’ll see there’s an arm going up his backside, moving the mouthparts so it looks like Stelter is talking, when really it’s just the DNC or whatever woke activist group requires his stage.

And the winner is…

This was the post that I made poll on TwitterTo all my followers, and to those who voted.

Will it be the obsessed anti-Trump crusader, the radical left’s shallow representative, the White House conversation piece, or the media puppet?

The winner is…

Brian Stelter!

At first, I was surprised he won but upon reflection, I really shouldn’t be.

Stelter, in a kingdom made up of many weasels is the most obnoxious. He refuses to see the obvious evils in the Democrat Party and chooses instead to paint his ideological opponents as deserving of horrible treatment because they’re dangerous radicals. There is no leftist narrative too ridiculous that Stelter won’t float it. There is no water he won’t carry for Democrats.

He will always be their Wormtongue.

But try as hard as he might to be “their guy” Stelter continues to fall behind his competition in stellar fashion. Stelter’s Sunday show “Reliable Sources” has the smallest audience in terms of key news demographics, averaging somewhere around 90,000 viewers. His average audience was only 738,000, an increase of 59% since January.

You didn’t know that Stelter owned a book. Me either, and either no one else did or they just didn’t seem interested in reading what he had to say, because hardly anyone bought it. He only managed to move 1,738 books off the shelf in the first week of its release, ranking him 4,007th on Amazon’s bestseller list.

It would surprise me if CNN bought a lot of these.

Stelter is very much like the kid who agrees with everyone the popular child said, in the hopes of getting in the top 10. To be sure, they allow him to tag along, but they don’t really care about him. They spend a lot of their time encouraging them but they rarely return the favor. If it was, they’d spend more time propping him up and helping him sell well, but they don’t.

Stelter will continue to simp for the Democrats for as long as he can milk it, and maybe at some point he’ll climb the ladder a little further, but the bottom line is that Stelter is the worst act at the show…

…try as he might.
