Democrats’ desperation to pass a federal election takeover has reached a fever pitch. The latest proof: The left is recruiting Hollywood elites to scare the American people into undermining our elections.
We all know why Democrats are desperate. A few weeks back, Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) publicly refused to vote for the so-called “For The People Act.” His exasperated colleagues know this means almost certain death for their bill, which would give D.C. more control over elections and all but guarantee liberal victories. But they’re not ready to throw in the towel just yet.
Enter: singer Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom. Democrats have teamed up with them in a last-ditch effort to push their bill.
Perry and Bloom released a video yesterday that pictures them in a future, post-apocalyptic America, where society has been destroyed because our generation failed to pass the Democrats’ election takeover bill. “Democracy is dead,” they warn, because “voter suppression ran wild all over America.” After taking a not-so-subtle dig at Manchin, the ad ends with a frenzied plea for Americans to “call your senator now!”—presumably to tell them to vote for the bill.
The Democrats get an A for effort. But they get an F for truth. The Perry-Bloom performance is both pathetic and insulting. It assumes the American people aren’t smart enough to see through the Democrats’ false alarms.
The Hollywood elites echo the claim Democrats have been making for months—that their “For the People Act” will “save democracy.” It won’t.
Their bill would undermine democracy by stripping power from states and allowing D.C. politicians to control elections. It would make elections less secure by mandating fraud-prone voting practices, such as ballot harvesting. Lastly, it would give federal dollars to political candidates and help ensure liberal victories at the ballot box.
The good news: The Democrats’ latest attempt to distract America from these facts won’t work—because Americans care more about protecting the integrity of their elections than bowing to the demands of celebrities. And fear of liberals in Washington running local elections paints a scarier picture than Perry and Bloom do.
This Hollywood spectacle is just another out-of-touch effort by the Democrats to impose their values on the country. It also begs the question: Why do celebrities think Americans want to hear their thoughts on politics when most can’t even sit through their award shows anymore?
Maybe one day the Democrats will wake up and face the truth: The “For the People Act” is a bad bill that can’t stand up under the weight of its own flaws. But they probably won’t. That’s why it’s crucial that all Americans stand up for policies that secure our elections and ensure this federal election takeover doesn’t pass.
If it fails, American democracy wins—despite what desperate Democrats and fear-mongering celebrities say.
“Hail Mary” and democrats
Just don’t seem to go together very well!
Senator Joe Manchin is a great American.
Hail Mao is more fitting.
The left now IS the establishment, and "the Man" gives them talking points.
The poles have shifted.
Could someone tell me why Orlando Bloom is lecturing Americans on our political system?? He is a Brit, by way of South Africa and like his “prince” has no right to tell the citizens of this country how to run it. You, and your “prince”, Bloom, are guests in this country - act like it!
Don’t trust anyone over 30!
He has a chance to be. The jury, however, is still out. He must first pass the test as the delicious pork, warm and tasty, is brought under his nose. . .and then if he passes that test, it will be the Dem Merry Maids cleaning out his closet. If nothing is found, then it's the Perkins-Coie team of creative writers and if that doesn't to the trick, it's Arkancide time for a member of his immediate family. If he stands firm through all of that, then, yes, he's a great American.
Until they meet his price, that is. Then he'll suddenly find that the bill was "amended" to make it more palatable to him.
Joe Manchin is a snake. Last week when he was being called a "hero" I predicted he was just holding out to get a better deal for himself (whatever that may be).
Surprise-surprise! Yesterday there was an article out about how Manchin is willing to "compromise" and reduce the filabuster to 55 instead of 60. So with Murky, Mittens, Collins, Lee, and Burr, the Democrats will get everything they want.
CAN WE PLEASE STOP CALLING DEMOCRATS HEROS UNTIL THEY ACTUALLY MAKE GOOD ON THEIR PROMISES?
Nevertheless, it is a sad situation when Manchin, one person, can stop (or pass) a bill in its tracks. There are 535 elected representatives who we sent to DC? Where are the other 534????? Do they all look at the patch (D or R) on their sleeve and vote accordingly? Don't they think?
evil katy perry was accused by the nuns who forced a sale of a
nunnery from them of practicing Satanism .
This demon does not talk to her republican family .
Demorats and Satan .Sounds Right .
So far.
If the Democrats call you a hero, you are just months away from having yard signs with your name on it in Democrat yards.
This is hilarious, except the Captain Pike character was an honorable man and Jao Bai Din has been nothing but a gigantic POS his whole life.
