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

The Federalist ^

‘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...

And the only way to save a Republic is for the RATS to Go F**k Themselves.

They don’t pretend to deceive anymore. For that I respect them. Now Mitch McConnell on the other hand......

[Howie66]

King George III thought the same.

[BenLurkin]

This is what "Democracy" is going to look like when the Democrat Party seizes full control...

The only way to save democracy is to cancel the elections and just let important Leftists make all the decisions.

[Bonemaker]

We don’t want to save your version of “democracy”.

[PubliusMM]

This is consistent with the lefturds’ view of America.

It’s wrong. Horribly wrong.

But...they believe it, nonetheless.

[BroJoeK]

By "Democracy," Democrats mean the same thing communists mean by "Democratic People's Republic" -- namely single party top down rule.

It's no more complicated than that.

[RedMonqey]

Wonder if the Democrats still support getting rid of the filibuster now?

Nah,just kidding. Of course not... For now...

[CletusVanDamme]

Every. Single. Time.

[Islander7]

Rush predicted this. Next phase is ‘Elections are too risky, we need permanent office holders’.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Democracy dies with Democrats.™

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I miss Rush.

[griswold3]

It’s “Mobocracy” or Mob Rule.

[Irenic]

One party rule? Are you effing kidding me. Then NO parties and everybody must run on what they would do and then people would have to pay attention and vote policy not teams.

[Theophilous Meatyard III]

I don’t know exactly how that would work, but I guess some extreme contortions could resolve the issue.
