Voters are saying ‘no’ but Biden isn’t listening. Could the message to politicians be any clearer? Any louder?

Plummeting polls are sending a clear message to the Biden administration, but the president is deaf, dumb and blind to it. And it’s not just the polls. Take congressional retirements. Democrats who chair congressional committees, reading the grim poll numbers, figure life will be a lot more comfortable as highly paid lobbyists than as powerless minority members. They are retiring in droves. Historically, retirements by well-informed insiders are strong predictors of the next House majority.

Local elections are sending the same message. They tell Democrats they have moved too far left and that voters’ quality of life is suffering. Voters are especially troubled by inflation, Covid and crime. They are also concerned about illegal immigration, the flood tide of drugs crossing the border, and indoctrination in schools.

(see image) That’s what they are saying, repeatedly, at the ballot box. In the heavily Democratic city of Buffalo, for example, the party’s mayoral nominee, an avowed socialist, lost to a write-in candidate, the city’s former mayor. In South Carolina’s capital city, Columbia, a Republican narrowly defeated the Democrat in a city Biden carried by forty points only a year ago. In New York City — the biggest prize of all — the far-left incumbent, Bill de Blasio, will be succeeded by a former police officer. Voters there recoiled from pervasive violence on streets and subway platforms. They know “broken windows” policing once worked in the city and made it much more livable. What they see now is “please break our windows” policing, and they don’t feel safe.

Under our current system of government, the voters don’t matter, since they have no say in who holds office.

We’re rapidly approaching the only thing they’ll “listen” to: a kinetic response.

They flipped the finger to America’s true vote and stole the election. They no longer care about opinions because they are not operating on consent.

They are America’s rapist.

They are certainly acting like elections don’t matter anymore.

Voters said no on Election Day too. Why would anyone expect their opinion to matter later on?

81 million voters can’t be wrong. Biden literally didn’t even campaign

Biden doesn’t care as I doubt he is even aware he’s President most days. His handlers don’t seem to care either. They are only concerned with inflicting as much damage as possible in the time they have control.

As the saying goes, if they remove the ballot box, and the soap box, the only recourse left is the ammo box.

They ae swinging for the communist home run fence because they know this may be their last chance for ten or twenty years.

“Plummeting polls are sending a clear message to the Biden administration, but the president is deaf, dumb and blind to it.“

It’s because the “administration” are REALLY a group of UN-elected Oligarchs who don’t CARE what’s good for the country OR what the American people want. They have their OWN agenda.

The Biden gang are just a front for them. THEY don’t care because they’re not really in charge anyway. They take orders from above.

Expecting the Biden gang to care is like expecting your cable tv customer service rep to change company policy - to suit you. Never gonna happen.

Democrats don’t care anymore because they know there will never again be an honest election.

It’s tiresome to repeat it but it’s true: Dementia Joe isn’t calling the shots and whoever is doesn’t have a cogent Plan B. The radicals have the bit between their teeth and they aren’t letting go. Inflation, illegal immigration, mask mandates, and the enshrinement of blatant racism as a guiding principle of government, these are populist issues and the only true populist candidate is a fellow named Trump. And he’s not letting go either.

When you can successfully steal elections, the sentiment of voters no longer matters.

Mr. Lipson, the simply don’t care about what the public wants. His poll numbers could be negative, they still wouldn’t care. It will not deter them.

They came to X, Y, Z, and they are going to do it, the voters be damned.

If they succeed, they don’t expect to have to actually run again, let alone win. They will declare themselves the winners and the press will dutifully follow along.

Very well said.

May I add that we have become complacent in trusting who counts the votes? We’ve proudly worn our little buttons that say “I voted.” We’ve confidently sent in ballots knowing and showing precisely how we voted.

What we have not done is demand verification that our votes have been COUNTED IN A MANNER THAT ACCURATELY REFLECTS OUR INTENT AND CONSENT.

We need to shine a bright light on those who count the votes, from the smallest election board to the Federal Election Commission. We need to know who they are, how they got there, and make them demonstrate knowledgability in the subject of a Constitutional Republic.

After, and in view of, the 2020 elections all bets are off in the way of simple trust.
