I have heard many members of the Democratic Party talk about how they are the party that believes in democracy while Republicans want autocracy or dictatorship. Let’s look at the current system Democrats are employing.
Current President Joe Biden decides he cannot win the election so he drops out soon before the convention, recommending that his vice president run in his place. I think this scenario denies the participation of any other Democratic candidate, and denies the members of the Democratic Party from being able to have a voice, by primary voting, in whom they prefer to have as their candidate. That is not how a democratic republic works, but it seems to me that this is how a party gets their favorite candidate on ballots while circumventing the whole process, much like an autocracy or dictatorship works. Hmmm!
I know the talking heads will say time is too short or this is the best solution for a bad situation. These are excuses for circumventing the proper election process rather than the letter of the law, apparently hoping to guarantee the outcome. I think this is a typical Democratic scheme to stack the deck in their favor.
I always thought whatever the Democratic Party is accusing their opponents of doing or conspiring to do, that is exactly what they have plans to do.
Talk about trying to rig an election! Wake up people, before you are living under a despot, in a country where voting is a sad joke, you are allowed to vote but the outcome is predetermined and you have no voice, no rights, no representation, just a privilege to live under the scrutiny of Big Brother and his cohorts. Failure to plan for an election is no excuse to shred the system.
