WASHINGTON, D.C.—In a catastrophic blow to democracy with disastrous consequences sure to ripple throughout the free world, a majority of democratically-elected representatives decided against legislation proposed by other democratically-elected representatives.

“This is the end of democracy as we know it,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, for the 486th time since 2016. “It’s unfathomable that the American people would allow such egregious destruction of our country’s democratic foundations by allowing the majority of elected representatives to represent them through legislative action.”

President Biden, responding to the subversive circumvention of democracy by following the proven process outlined in the U.S. Constitution, said, “I’ll tell you what, this is the worst thing since Corn Pop did the thing. The only way to save democracy now is by squashing liberties with the heavy hand of a powerful, centralized government.

In response to the tyrannical democratic legislative process spearheaded by the West Virginia despot Joe Manchin, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez authored a bill proposing that his state be absorbed by East Virginia.

Democracy won’t be safe until we turn over all our sovereign God-given rights to Democrats.

I wonder when Democrats will start using “republicanism” as an expletive? I am surprised they haven’t already done so.

Bernie was upset that one man could do this, be given so much power as to thwart the bill. BUT. If Manchen had voted yes, would they not still be 50-50 so instead of one man with so much power wouldn’t Kamala be one woman with that much power? Would that upset Bernie?

To Liberals, “democracy” means giving them what they want all the time.
