Democrats: The Only Way To Save Democracy Is One-Party Rule
The Federalist ^

Posted on 10/25/2022 5:13:03 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

‘Save Our Democracy’ is the new ‘Russia Collusion.’

At this point, it would save everyone time if Democrats could simply point to a policy agenda item that isn’t going to save democracy — if such a thing exists.

If Republicans vote, they are killing democracy. If they don’t vote, they are killing democracy. The only way to “save democracy,” writes The Washington Post’s Max Boot, is to empower one-party rule — a position that probably sounds counterintuitive to anyone with a middle-school education. “Now you need to vote to literally save democracy again,” contends President Joe Biden, or we will lose our “fundamental rights and freedoms like the right to choose, the right to privacy, the right to vote — our very democracy.”

Chilling stuff. But it doesn’t end there. You will remember that by failing to “reform” the filibuster, which would entail authorizing the thinnest of fleeting majorities to shove through massive generational “reforms” without any national consensus or debate, we are also killing democracy. This has been the position not only of left-wing pundits and the New York Times editorial board, but also senators tasked with defending their institution. I wonder if they will support this democracy-saving fix next session, as well?

Then again, if we don’t nationalize the economy to avert a climate crisis, we are also killing democracy. “We’ve got to save democracy in order to save our species,” Jamie Raskin explains. And if we don’t empty the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to temporarily keep gas prices low to help Democrats win in 2022, we are killing democracy. “We find...

For as long as I can remember, from teh 60’s on. The RATS have always acted adn behaived as if they were ALWAYS in power. They were infiltrated by Commies and then the RATS infiltrated teh right aka RINO’s. They just took turns allowing PICKED republicrats to rule. AKA Bush called clinTON weekly for counsel and advice. Think about romney & mcKKKain. We’ve only had a true biPartisan when Reagan & Trump got into office and its destroying THEIR democracy even though they swear an OATH to office to a constitution that garuntees a REPUBLICAN form of government.

We’re DOOOOOOMED, DOOOOOOOOOMED.

The Late Great Rush Limbaugh made this point repeatedly for 30 years. Stating that the Ultimate Goal of the Dems is the elimination of any opposition and the establishment of a defacto Dem One Party Rule.
He further stated that Establishment Pubbies are the Clueless Party. Totally oblivious to this fact. That the Clueless GOPe is more fearful of Constitutional Conservatives than they are of totalitarian Dems. Why? Because they are totally addicted to Big Money DC and are threatened by Small Gov’t Conservative principles. The GOPe HATED Tea Party Conservatives.

Some days I think I could just sit and bang my head into a wall.

I am sick to death of leftist politics. Sick of it.

Sorta like California.

For a preview of what they plan nationally, just look at what the rats have done to this place.
