In every vote this decade, Democrats have smeared Republicans as a group built on vote marginalization. When Liberals lose, it is because Republicans have manipulated voter ID laws, registration requirements, or beginning and mail-in election periods to reduce votes. Apparently, free IDs, weak registration requirements, days upon weeks of early voting, and rules that let able-bodied citizens voting from their couches are voter suppression and the cause of Democrats ‘ political losses.
Since Sunday, but, the face has dropped. Which party now knows how to disenfranchise as some voters as necessary to maintain or expand social influence? In orchestrating President Biden’s departure from the 2024 presidential race, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, and the rest of the Democrat wealthy disenfranchised millions of voters across the country. Their calculations and intrigues had the same impact as if they had tossed every single vote cast over the past six weeks into the yawning abyss of the Grand Canyon.
Kamala Harris, a person who has the backing of a total of zero citizens to be president in 2024 and who could not even finish in the top seven of the Democrat area in 2020, will be offered to the state in place of Biden, according to the Democrat voters ‘ option.
The most shocking thing to me is how casual and callous leading Democrats have been with their voter suppression campaigns. Biden made it known that his supporters ‘ ballots would not be counted in a post on X, which would be the same as saying” we’re going to end a marriage through a text message.” He did not explain himself. He refused to even provide a photo of him signing the letter that was posted to X. Leading Democrats did not express any sympathy for the outcome of their ballots in the moments that followed, nor did they condemn this betrayal of voters. Rather, within minutes, they showered Biden’s ready-made successor with unreserved endorsements and lavish praise.
We should be very clear about what has happened. Democrats Party leaders and supporters rigged the primary to artificially and dramatically impose the choices available to voters. Millions of voters, nevertheless, participated, stood up, and said,” We accept the choice you’ve given us — we choose Joe Biden”. And despite Biden’s unwavering desire to run, Democratic Party supporters and leaders were unsure. So they simply nullified the voters ‘ choice by relentlessly badgering Biden to drop out, day and night, for three straight weeks, until he relented.
Since then, no Democrat, not even Biden, has seen any need at all to offer voters an explanation for what just happened. To this minute, neither Democrat Party leaders nor donors, to say nothing of Biden himself, have offered a single word as to why they have pursued a strategy of massive and unprecedented voter disenfranchisement. Is Biden too frail or too sick to continue? Has he suddenly lost the public service passion he has vowed to have for more than 50 years? Something else? Nobody has informed the American people. Democrat leaders just said he had to go, and so he’s gone.
The conclusion is that, for Democrats, voters are not even an afterthought when it comes to electing this nation. They are merely a consensual means of achieving something. Democrats sing hymns to the will of the people and the wisdom of “our democracy” when voters enact restrictions on their power. However, Democrats completely ignore the people and plot against them to maintain control at all costs when voters threaten their power. After Sunday, there can be no doubt of Democrats ‘ duplicity. They attempted to defame George W. Bush’s presidency by doing everything they could. They have done Donald Trump’s kneecap at every turn even more. Now, they’ve done it to one of their own. The pattern is unmistakable.
Of course, the American people deserve a prompt, comprehensive explanation from Biden. But broadly speaking, there are only two options. Either Biden has become incapable of campaigning, or he has become unwilling to campaign. Was his withdrawal a medical necessity, or was it just a crude attempt to retake control of the Democrat party made at the expense of the country’s fundamental right to vote? Is it an act that necessitates his resignation, or a cowardly and craven act that is beneath contempt?
Under normal circumstances, we would know these answers already by way of Biden’s conduct. It would be safe to assume that he is healthy and was simply too afraid to press on against Donald Trump by continuing to be in office, as he has so far. Unfortunately, given everything Democrats and legacy media have done over the past four years to cover up Biden’s glaring decline through the first presidential debate and even afterward, we cannot take that for granted.
Even if Biden is physically and mentally prepared for the position, his actions could seriously and permanently harm our nation. Presidential elections should be years-long battles between opposing viewpoints on the fate of nations, as they have traditionally been. If the Biden gambit takes hold, however, these contests could soon devolve into bait-and-switch gamesmanship, as parties wait for the right moment to spring their real candidates on the American people. And those who offer bold visions for the future will not be the best candidates for success in such a system, but people like Kamala Harris, empty vessels through which the donors who control those games can exert their influence.
If the Democrats really wanted to” save democracy”, Biden, if healthy, would still be pressing forward with his campaign, trying to win on behalf of the millions upon millions of people who voted for him to do just that. But saving democracy is not, and has never been, the point. The point is, and always has been, about saving Democrats. That is why he’s out of the race. It is as basic and abominable as that.
