"Democracy"

 "Hard Reality:  For our democracy to survive two things need to happen.     Donald Trump needs to be Convicted for Jan 6th and there can be no Third Party Candidate."

Rob Reiner

Convicting the major opposition candidate and preventing third party candidates from running in a federal, general, election, seems like the antithesis of "democracy".   In all honesty it sounds much more like the sort of thing we'd hear from a 3rd world socialist dictator.   When democrats say "save democracy", this is what they mean.  One party rule.  It's like advocating lying to protect Truth, or having sex to protect virginity.   This is what people like Dan support.

"Among all Americans, just 7% said they would want their candidate to win by cheating. But that number rose to 35% among the elite 1% and skyrocketed to 69% among those who are part of the politically obsessed 1%, meaning they talk about politics every day."

No society can long survive in its current state with this amount of moral rot in its commanding heights.

I'm commenting before reading the link, but I suspect this crosses party lines, although probably skews left.

Craig said...

Oh look, I was wrong. The polling sample skewed heavily left based on his definition of "elites" (which I don't disagree with), so I suspect that he barely spoke to anyone on the right in his 1% and higher polling.

Good to see you back. Hope the insomnia etc is better.

If I'm not actually politically obsessed, I wouldn't blame anyone for suggesting that I am. But I do NOT want to hear any of my preferred candidates were cheating to win an election. I don't want my preferred candidates acting like Democrats.

What gets me is what a farce they make of J6. Trump had nothing to do with the whole thing, and hundreds are still imprisoned without trial. Talk about a tyranny!

Craig said...

Glenn, J6 shouldn't have happened. Or at least the rioting part shouldn't have happened. What's insane is that the left pretends like it was worse then the 2014-2024 BLM/CHOP/CHAZ/Hamas/antisemitic rioting that caused billions in damage and actually killed, injured, and damaged people.

Of course it shouldn't have happened, but Trump wasn't responsible as they claim.

Craig said...

Yup.

The Piper's Wife was me. Somehow my wife got logged in and it took me forever to get her logged out and me back in!

Craig said...

I guessed that.
