The Betrayal Of Democracy
Reality | 12/10/2020 | blueunicorn6

Posted on 12/10/2020 9:17:52 AM PST by blueunicorn6

The citizens of The United States fought a Revolutionary War to give themselves the responsibility of choosing their own leaders.

It is a responsibility.

Too many Americans think that electing a President is just a game that is played every four years.

This kind of thinking is a great disservice to the men who spent years discussing, investigating and thinking about how a country should be.

Voting isn’t just about flipping a coin to decide who our chief executive will be.

Voting is a rigorous means of improving our citizens. Voting is a rigorous way to improve everything about our country.

The Founders understood that people will look out for their best interests. There is nothing inherently wrong with that.

A citizen of The United States is expected to vote for the person who will serve their best self interest.

But voting doesn’t just stop there.

The citizen is expected to investigate the candidates to determine which candidate will best serve their self interest. The citizen is expected to research and discuss and use deductive and inductive reasoning and think.

Research....discussion.....reasoning.....comparison.....examining experience.....

Are these not qualities that are beneficial in all areas of life?

Voting, as was meant to be done, produces alert and intelligent citizens.

Isn’t that what we want?

Cheating produces stupidity and laziness.

Cheating makes it useless to analyze candidates.

Cheating makes it useless for candidates to prepare themselves to be President.

A candidate merely needs to agree with the cheaters. And the cheaters are cheating so they can cheat our laws and morality.

The voters become apathetic. They no longer need to research and analyze and reason.

This freedom to grow as a human being has been taken away by the cheaters.

The person who manipulates the computers or prints the most phony ballots will determine who our President is.

All aspects of our society will suffer and deteriorate.

Fair voting is essential for the improvement of our citizens and the survival of our society.

But...but...you said the republic was already lost.
It was a Constitutional Republic.

Seems like you are the one in need of a clue.

Oh, wait! I get it now. You were full of BS before and you're not full of BS now. My bad.

The party about to lose the election by razor thin margins in the 11th hour in several states has asked for protection against vote fraud for decades.
The party about to win the election by razor thin margins in the 11th hour insisted vote fraud was rare, isolated and fought increased protections against fraud.
Whether or not the election is skewed by fraud, anyone unwilling to understand why the aggrieved party is skeptical and frustrated is acting in bad faith.

In modern life, we can prevent CW2 by pushing Sanctuaries for conservative values. Liberals already set the precedent with cities and states where cops were punished for cooperating with border patrol. Create Sanctuaries for freedom of speech or more Second Amendment sanctuaries, and arrest liberal fascists who attempt to violate our rights.

American History isn't your strong suit, is it?

“Your jest savors but a shallow wit.”

You can't even get that right!

Henry V.’s Audience of French Ambassadors
So get you hence in peace; and tell the Dauphin,
His jest will savor but of shallow wit,
When thousands weep, more than did laugh at it.
Convey them with safe conduct. — Fare you well.

You keep trying to prove me wrong instead of proving that you are right.

This means that you are not intellectually able to have a discussion with.

Now, go and ask Santa for a Scooby-Do coloring book and see if you can stay inside the lines this year.

I've shown that I am right. ...and to the Republic for which it stands...just one instance.
Even Nancy Pelosi knows I'm right.
Pelosi Remarks Announcing Impeachment Inquiry September 24, 2019

Our republic endures because of the wisdom of our Constitution, enshrined in three co-equal branches of government, serving as checks and balances on each other. Though she will also lie when it suits her needs.
Dear Colleague on Republicans’ Desperate Attacks on Our Democracy December 11, 2020 Instead, Republicans are engaged in election subversion that imperils our democracy.

That means you're losing the intellectual argument and you have to resort to dismissiveness and demeaning attitude.
Please, keep doing what you're doing. It makes it so much easier to know when you're defeated.

Oh.....

You argued with Santa and he didn’t give you a coloring book.

Well, being obdurate will get you some coal in your stocking.

You can neither prove your point nor disprove my point so you are left with childish antics and taunts as an alternative to actual debate.

Got it.

It’s not too late for you to get off of Santa’s Naughty List!

Go upstairs and tell your mom that it was you who poured cornflakes on the stairs!

Hurry!

Just more evidence that you can't disprove my point and you only have childish retorts to work with.

Carry on!
