RFK Jr. Is Really Scaring Them Now: LA Times Says He’s a Threat to ‘Our Democracy’

For the millionth time, we don’t have a “democracy,” we have a republic. But the key point here is that, once again, Leftists have confirmed the fact that when they talk about “our democracy,” they don’t actually mean anything democratic at all. They are referring not to any kind of democracy, but to their own hegemony. The only “democracy” that involves one candidate receiving the forced adulation of the masses and reelection by acclimation from all those who don’t want to end up in the gulag is the type that is practiced in states such as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, also known as North Korea.

I am for the free and open exchange of ideas and opinions.

What are you, some kind of Fascist? /s

[ClearCase_guy]

These people have dropped all subtlety.

There is a (somewhat) secret bunch of Oligarchs who run the country. Anyone who threatens the rule of the Oligarchs is a “threat to our democracy”. It makes no sense, but it’s what they’re going with.

[Sirius Lee]

Republic aside, I love how demoncraps view the majority vote as a threat to democracy.

[Brian Griffin]

The primary system has to be allowed to work.

Biden is mentally (and physically) failing and Trump might be going to a federal penitentiary.

Both parties need to allow plausible replacements to emerge.

[MeganC]

The Democrats are going to kill another Kennedy.

[dfwgator]

I’m glad I’m not a Kennedy.

[SeekAndFind]

At this point, I fear for Junior. With our corrupt intelligence community that is never held accountable, I tremble when I think that he might suffer the same fate as his father and his uncle.

[cnsmom]

Should have taught the entire alphabet not just the letter D.

[escapefromboston]

Since Biden won’t (and can’t) debate him Fox News should invite him to the Republican debates. It might be the only way to get ratings if Trump is serious about not showing up

[Dilbert San Diego]

This whole thing sounds really bizarre.

Why is it a threat to “democracy”, if a candidate runs for election in an election campaign? Their view seems like a contradiction in terms.

They believe in “democracy” and “free elections”, but are threatened by a candidate who is running in an election?

isn’t that what elections are all about, that the people will vote for their preferred candidates?

Look at another way, if they think Joe Biden is so great, shouldn’t he cruise to the Democrat nomination in the primaries, if he’s truly the Democrat voter choice?

I’m sure I’m missing something with their view on this.

[1Old Pro]

Since Biden won’t (and can’t) debate him Fox News should invite him to the Republican debates.

Why, FOX supports the wannabe dictator.

“threat to your health”

There are thousands here (and many millions throughout the country) that are alive and well despite refusing COVID vaccination.

“Both parties need to allow plausible replacements to emerge.”

Ditto, but Biden can be controlled so he ain’t going nowhere unless he is toes up and that is why RFKjr is scaring the crap out of the typical Dim.

If Trump is penned then the only alternative is DeSantis.

[Vaquero]

Though he has a few good points. He has mostly left wing ideas

[cnsmom]

The Democrats know the 2024 turnout will be so pitiful they don’t need poll watchers to even go inside buildings.

[MeganC]

Ditto that. Tragedy follows them like an evil spectre.

RE: There are thousands here (and many millions throughout the country) that are alive and well despite refusing COVID vaccination.

Novak Djokovic won Wimbledon, the Australian Open and recently, the French Open POST-COVID while refusing to be Covid vaccinated. Who knows how many more Grand Slams he could have won had he not been banned from playing even in the United States?

I'm not sure 'Leftist' is a correct word, given the Liz Cheneys, Bill Barrs, and Bushies who benefit from 'selecting' who represents 'our democracy'™
