Has American Democracy™ Finally Lost Its Glossy Sheen?

Democrat judgment day has been a long time coming.

It’s the crescendo of years and years of gaslighting, of primary-rigging, of behind-closed-door dealings that in no way serve the interests of their own voters — let alone the American public at large.

Let’s briefly survey how we got here.

First, Obama resurrected Joe’s fledgling national-level political ambitions when his handlers picked him in 2008 to balance out the first black lead on the presidential ticket with an old-school segregationist.

Then he did it again in 2020, riding in on a white horse to anoint Biden as the nominee in order to rescue the party from Bernie Sanders, whom the donor class viewed as a threat.

Via CNN, April 8, 2020 (emphasis added):

Former President Barack Obama played an active, albeit private, role in the Democratic presidential primary that effectively ended on Wednesday when Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders dropped out of the race.

Obama and Sanders spoke multiple times in the last few weeks as the Vermont senator determined the future of his campaign, a source familiar with the conversation tells CNN. Sanders’ decision to get out on Wednesday paves the way for Joe Biden, who served as Obama’s vice president for eight years, to become the Democratic nominee.

Obama’s eventual endorsement of Biden and fulsome entry into the campaign, whenever it occurs, will signal a new phase in Democrats’ efforts to defeat President Donald Trump.

Then they added some Diversity™ to the ticket by selecting the Karamel-uh entity as VP even though she was polling in single digits in her home state of California.

Via CNN, October 2019 (emphasis added):

In yet another sign of trouble for Sen. Kamala Harris in the 2020 presidential race, the California Democrat has slid from an enviable front-runner position in her home state into the single digits in a new poll of likely voters in the Golden State.

As the state’s March 5 primary draws closer, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts (23%), former Vice President Joe Biden (22%) and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont (21%) are now tied as the leaders in the field among likely voters who are either registered as Democrats or identify as Democratic-leaning independents in the new Public Policy Institute of California poll, which was conducted in mid- to late September after Harris’ uneven performance in the last debate.

Harris tumbled from 19% in July to 8% in the new poll by the institute, failing to sustain the momentum she sparked with her first debate performance in June. She lost significant ground over the summer, while her chief rivals all solidified their standing among California voters.

Last year, the Brandon entity was shielded from any primary challengers by sidelining and smearing RFK Jr. and refusing to allow their puppet to debate — a debate that likely would have exposed his dementia long before last week.

Via ABC News, June 2, 2023 (emphasis added):

Democrats have so far opted to tune out the primary challenges levied against him, with the Democratic National Committee throwing its support behind Biden. And while some in the party have criticized the organization and Biden as "un-democratic" for presuming he’s the de facto nominee, there’s precedent in sitting it out: No incumbent president has participated in a primary debate since the first modern debate was held in 1948, even when presented with high-profile primary challengers.

As former President Donald Trump sought re-election in 2020, the Republican National Committee didn’t hold primary debates, nor did former President Barack Obama during his second bid. The same pattern can be traced as far back as Gerald Ford.

And Democrats today show no signs of changing course.

Biden’s candidacy is being challenged by two Democrats, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson, who have remained critical of the DNC’s expected decision to unite behind the incumbent president.

Why has the Brandon entity been propped up by the establishment? Allow Biden to explain in his own words that he is a “prostitute” to the donor class.


Via Washington Free Beacon (emphasis added):

Former Vice President Joe Biden said during a 1974 discussion on campaign finance that he tried to "prostitute" himself to big donors during his first run for U.S. Senate but failed to get their money because he was too young.

His youth, however, was what enabled Biden to raise enough money to win, he explained.

"I'm like the token black or the token woman," Biden said. "I was the token young person."

So, I would love the defenders of Democracy™ to explain how any of this has anything to do with acknowledging and acquiescing to popular will — the literal definition of “democracy.”

Meanwhile, the party allegedly in bed with “authoritarians” — the “existential threat to democracy” — had a robust primary and multiple debates. Despite the GOP leadership itself attempting to get rid of Donald Trump, the actual voters won, and now Republicans (and independents who hate the establishment duopoly) have the nominee they wanted, no matter how hard the corporate state tried to force-feed them Nikki Haley.
