The Threat to Democracy Narrative Unravels

Examining the challenges of rhetoric over substance.

Certain elected Democrats across the US – and particularly in Washinton, DC – are fond of speaking about various things and people being a threat to democracy. As the 2024 general election looms on the horizon, however, it is worth examining whether these fearmongers are themselves posing just such a threat as they strive to deny American voters their right to choose who will reside in the White House come January 2025.

It is difficult to know for sure whether Democrat powerbrokers are earnestly thinking about replacing Joe Biden as their 2024 nominee. In the left-wing media there seems to be a growing sentiment that the party should find a way to put up someone else to face the likely Republican candidate, former President Donald Trump. Especially in social media, theories are swirling that Mr. Biden will be pushed aside at the party’s national convention in August – after he has officially secured the requisite number of delegates.

SNIP:

“One could argue that the Democratic Party has the right to handle its own primary process however it sees fit, but there is yet another factor worthy of note. The Atlantic, on February 23, put forward a hypothetical scenario that could plunge the nation into a constitutional crisis – and perhaps worse.

Should the eventual Republican nominee – most likely Trump at this point – win enough Electoral College votes (270) to claim the Oval Office, and should the Democrats gain a majority in the House of Representatives, the unthinkable is being given some thought. While it appears to be a long-shot prospect, Trump’s political opponents across the aisle are at least chewing over the idea of refusing to certify the Electoral College vote tally on January 6, 2025.”

The establishment side of the democrat party is a big threat to our democracy. Coming up with loads of BS court cases in heavily liberal states to bankrupt a presidential candidate whom half the country voted for to be their president in last 2 elections. Also jailing people like Peter Navarro who tried to protect our jobs from China.
Non-stop saturation coverage by corporate MSM owned by billionaires like Bezos and Microsoft attacking him daily with biased distorted propaganda is also not the right way of working in a democracy. We must take our democracy back by sending a strong message to the globalist establishment in November.

Seems like to some “Democracy” means guaranteeing “Democrats” are elected even if the People want somebody else.

They won’t have a majority in the house so they can just suck on it.

Left me address the power decision makers on the left:

We all have the internet now. Your lying and propaganda no longer works. Even with the political activists that are 99% of all media, academia and entertainment.

It’s over.

Try a new approach like doing the right thing for the country and the people. It’ll take generations to gain back their trust so start now.

“If Biden were replaced by someone who didn’t even officially run for president, the narrative around threats to democracy would collapse.”

This might matter with independents but it matters not one bit to Democrat voters.

Just as long as they get their free stuff it doesn’t matter.

Their idea of “democracy” is the former German Democratic Republic.

It is becoming more clear that the Dems may be preparing for civil war, if necessary, just like they did in 1861, determined then to get their way on slavery. Now they threaten to close the Supreme Court, seize the Congress, eliminate the Electoral College, rule by executive order - while ignoring court rulings ... i.e.: suppress the Constitution👈❗

With Donald Trump closing in on the Republican presidential nomination, the Dem-leaning media is saying that they will not cover Trump's campaign, his speeches, whatever. The Dems are outraged that SCOTUS denied them the privilege of removing their political opponent from state ballots - AND they are pledging to work around that SCOTUS ruling. They are indicating a determination to run a mentally impaired octogenarian as their candidate for president and anyone opposing their plans, their Dept of Justice will seek prosecution on any preposterous grounds.

Their own primaries have been run like elections in North Korea for at least since 2016 - no allowable opposition, not one dissenting word. They are holding political prisoners charged with January 06, 2021 violations AND by some reports abusing those prisoners with various tortures - with almost no media coverage.

The 2024 Demo'Rat Party is indicating NO intention to follow normal rules and traditional practices and being mum about their intentions to accept legal limitations or court rulings. They are showing no concerns about public (voters) opinion to their out-of-bounds practices: open borders, destructive spending ➡ inflation; they are depending on their obedient media to blame Republicans for any unpopular spending and enforcement programs, including taking government benefits away from citizens and giving them to invading marauders.

Are the 'Rats preparing us for civil war❓ a repeat of their politics of 1861🤔
...and is the traditional Republican Party reverting back to the Whigs from which they emerged❓

Congress doesn’t “certify” anything.
