A year ago, Democrats said their campaign was all about “defending democracy.” Rather, they thwarted it. repetition. No other political party has done something so contrary to its stated mission.
Joe Biden speaking in Pennsylvania on January 5, 2024 asked“Is democracy still America's sacred cause?” … This is not rhetorical, academic, or hypothetical. Whether democracy remains America's sacred cause is the most pressing question of our time, and that's what the 2024 election is all about. ”
In the end, Democrats pushed Biden aside even though he had an uncontested path to the nomination. They argued that a coup was necessary to save democracy.
Democrats would quickly answer that question, but it was the wrong answer.
Their sabotage of democracy began long before 2024. 2019they began an investigation into President Donald Trump and continued to do so even after they learned of it. the charges were false. I don't care. They would later defend democracy.
Then, in 2023, Democratic prosecutors staged a riot. four charges Against Trump. The timing, so close to the election, was undoubtedly coincidental. But that was fine, because they soon promised to defend democracy again.
Meanwhile, Democrats campaigned to protect democracy by hiding Joe Biden's cognitive decline. They have been doing so for four years, but failed in 2024, especially after some allies. admitted to concealing. They argued that it was necessary to protect democracy.
The Democratic Party will also close down in 2024. Recommendation process To protect Biden. All would-be challengers, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. I can't trust it. They argued that this was the way to protect democracy.
Democrats keep Joe Biden out of sight for six months rejected The telltale signs of his disability, even if bright.
When Biden stumbled in a debate with Donald Trump in front of a national audience, they orchestrated a policy that was no worse than what avid viewers had already seen. stack of media To kick him out of the race. One by one, the people in the party opposed him. In the end, Democrats pushed Biden aside even though he had an uncontested path to the nomination. They argued that a coup was necessary to save democracy.
Democrats then handed the nomination to Kamala Harris with just a rubber stamp, without campaigning or contesting. They believed voting at traditional conventions was too risky and argued that it would delay a large-scale defense of democracy.
Democrats shielded Harris from serious coverage. engagement During the contest, they appointed her as their leader. She focused on “defending democracy” rather than providing answers that would inform the public about candidates for whom no one voted.
Harris didn't show up to the people, he showed up to them. she people: elite. Defending democracy, they explain, means letting self-styled leaders tell people what to do, what to think, and how to vote. In a true democracy, they argued, the “demonstrations” must follow the lead of their leaders.
later, report revealed Many of Ms. Harris' elite supporters say they were paid to appear with her. This tactic was perfectly fine, like a child wearing a pork chop to get a dog's attention. Passing money among elites, they reasoned, would only strengthen democracy.
Harris had a lot of money To buy friends if necessary. She outdid Mr. Trump and argued that defending democracy isn't cheap.
Democrats also pushed for third-party candidates to weaken Republicans in various races. they rejected it Remove RFK Junior Despite retracting and endorsing Trump, he was removed from the ballot. Apparently, the integrity of the ballot was more important than protecting democracy.
Democrats fought voter ID lawdespite its wide public support. That is what is necessary to protect democracy.
They took a similar approach to counting ballots. in pennsylvaniaDemocratic leaders allowed voting to be voided if they deemed it important to protect democracy.
Democratic Party officials vow to oppose The new Trump administration did not do so, even though it won both the Electoral College and the popular vote. They claim that they have no choice because they are still defending democracy.
In just one year, Americans have learned a lot about how the Democratic Party “defends” democracy. They made it clear that democracy is too important to be practiced without limit and sometimes needs to protect itself. I also learned that when Democrats say “democracy,” they actually mean “power.”
