How does perpetuating a material lie square with Democrats’ professed concern for democracy?
Elizabeth Stauffer - Yesterday 11:47 AM
 
It’s not hyperbole to say that Tuesday night’s Pennsylvania Senate debate may have saved the state and the country from another two years of liberal wreckage. Voters finally learned what the Democratic Party, the liberal media, campaign officials, John Fetterman’s doctor, and particularly his ambitious wife, Gisele, have been trying desperately to hide: Fetterman’s stroke earlier this year has rendered him unfit to perform the duties of a senator.
 
For months, this group worked together to conceal the truth from voters, and they were prepared to do whatever was necessary to carry him over the finish line. Unfortunately for them, from the moment Fetterman uttered his first words during the debate — “Hi. Good night, everybody” — the jig was up.

Knowing Fetterman was in no shape for a debate, his campaign tried desperately to avoid one. They saw nothing wrong with covering up a material fact about their candidate’s fitness for office. America already has a “Weekend at Bernie’s” president. Why not a senator as well?

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Keep in mind, the socialists goal is to move the country to a democracy where your neighbors determine your right rather than the Constitution...
Now it makes sense...

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
The Dems are now a woke death cult who want a country of only their true believers. All they have now is smoke, mirrors, and lies.
The Republic is lost.

Dem leaders and lib scribblers are pretending to believe that Fetterman's brain injury wouldn't matter...he wouldn't have to speak...just vote yes or no.
In reality, Fetterman's brain impairment means he wouldn't be able to judge the issues before the Senate in any kind of sentient way. Granted, I think most Dem pols are brain-damaged, but you know what I mean.
Of course, if the Republicans ran a brain-damaged candidate like Fetterman, the Dems would be screaming bloody murder.
They know he's damaged goods, but they don't care.

Last realclearpolitics poll listed (Oct. 26) has Oz at 48%, Fetterman at 45%.

There ought to be something new out by tomorrow, certainly by Tuesday.
Let's see what the numbers trend towards then.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Make that lied to, ill-informed, neighbors. You can't make good decisions on who/what to vote for if all you have heard/"know" doesn't have even a thimble full of truth in it.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

It squares perfectly with their concern for democracy:  when a Democrat says "democracy" he or she does not mean rule by the δῆμος, he or she means rule by Democrats.  Any action that aids Democrats in securing, maintaining, or enlarging majorities in any legislative body or occupancy of any elected executive branch office (in the Federal government there is only the Presidency and Vice Presidency, but in state governments there are often many) or elected judgeships in the states is an expression of their concern for "democracy" as they use the word, no matter how dishonest, treacherous or otherwise contemptible that action may be.
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

In their minds, the ends (power) justify the means (by hook or by crook) to establish their Democratocracy

There is no such thing as a contradiction.  Check your premises.  You will discover that one of them is wrong.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
