Republican Leadership Points Out Democrats Are Ignoring The Will Of Their Own Voters [UPDATE]
“The Democrat Party forced the Democrat nominee off the ballot, just over 100 days before the election.”

In what can only be seen as a coordinated effort, Republican Congressional leaders are pointing out, quite rightly, that forcing Biden out undermines the very “democracy” they are always harping on.
I love this Alinsky-style counterattack because it not only holds Democrats to their own standards but highlights how completely cynical their attacks on Republicans have been.
First up, Senate Republican Leader, Mitch McConnell (KY):
For four years, the American people have faced historic inflation at home, chaos at the border, and weak leadership abroad. Our nation is less prosperous and less secure than it was in January, 2021. We cannot afford four more years of failure.

Full text of McConnell’s statement:
For four years, the American people have faced historic inflation at home, chaos at the border, and weak leadership on the world stage. Our nation is less prosperous and less secure than it was in January, 2021. We cannot afford four more years of failure.
“Unfortunately, the Democratic Party has been busy in recent weeks trying to upend the expressed will of the American people in primary elections across the country. Washington Democrats have not proven themselves any more capable than the President of delivering the secure borders, safe streets, and stable prices that working families deserve. They are selling open borders, higher prices, climate radicalism, and soft-on-crime policies, and the American people are not buying.
Next up, House Speaker, Mike Johnson (LA):
At this unprecedented juncture in American history, we must be clear about what just happened. The Democrat Party forced the Democrat nominee off the ballot, just over 100 days before the election.

Having invalidated the votes of more than 14 million Americans who selected Joe Biden to be the Democrat nominee for president, the self-proclaimed ‘party of democracy’ has proven exactly the opposite.
The party’s prospects are no better now with Vice President Kamala Harris, who co-owns the disastrous policy failures of the Biden Administration. As second in command and a completely inept border czar, Harris has been a gleeful accomplice — not only in the destruction of American sovereignty, security, and prosperity, but also in the largest political coverup in U.S. history. She has known for as long as anyone of his incapacity to serve.
Regardless of the chaos in the current White House, our adversaries around the globe should be reminded that the U.S. Congress, the U.S. military, and the American people are fully prepared and committed to defend our interests both at home and abroad.
If Joe Biden is not fit to run for President, he is not fit to serve as President. He must resign the office immediately. November 5 cannot arrive soon enough.
And, finally, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (LA)
Democrat party bosses just proved that they have absolutely no respect for their own voters. After lecturing others about democracy, they just forced Joe Biden off the ticket—trashing the primary choice of 14 million of their own voters.
For years, Democrats and their partners…

For years, Democrats and their partners in the media maligned Americans who questioned the President’s fitness based on what they saw with their own eyes as conspiracy theorists. Every single one of these people—especially Vice President Harris—who participated in this cover up must answer for their involvement.
It is not just Biden-Harris who have been polling so poorly, it is their entire administration’s failed, extreme agenda that is crushing hardworking families, causing record inflation, the worst border crisis in our lifetime, and chaos around the world.
Democrats should proceed at their own risk. If they continue to upend the democratic process, even their most zombie followers may revolt.
So if Kamala badly trailing in the polls leading up to or at time of convention, do they pull a second coup? https://t.co/gSp2WDsI1D

[UPDATE]
Interesting take from Rod Blagojevich, particularly in light of Obama’s statement that noticeably excludes an endorsement of Kamala Harris.
I’ve known Obama since 1995. We both come out of Chicago politics. I know how it works. He’s behind the campaign to dump 15 million Dem primary voters & replace Biden with his choice. Classic Chicago Democrat machine politics. Selection over election. The bosses over the people. pic.twitter.com/5ibvaX9IzP

that wont be the spin,,however
the dems are so patriotic that they are willing to oust their hero biden for the sake of diversity the country blah blah blah
‘that won’t be the spin….’ True. Not in most of the legacy media for certain. The alternative media is a different animal and its influence has massively grown precisely b/c they refuse to parrot the approved regime/uniparty talking points. Don’t underestimate the reach and power of alternative media to disseminate counter points and facts that deviate from the approved narratives.
Not to mention they misled their own voters and denied them a fair process to vote in the first place.
if the dems respected their own voters they wouldnt have subjected them for centuries to enslavement with their lefty policies
You can’t blame them. It’s not their fault. They had no idea that Biden was mentally and physically unfit for office. They didn’t know until a couple of days ago that Biden was this bad off. It’s a total surprise. It caught them completely off guard.
And I might add, “Bwahahaha!”
I will add “Bwahahahahahaha”
So they disenfranchised all the ppl who voted for president Biden.
So I choose to vote for DJT since I can’t have the person I voted for in the primary.
It was a sham primary, to begin with. Enough of a sham that they opted to force RFK Jr. out of the party rather than run a real primary.
Of course, we all know that leftists care not one whit for any democratic process. Although, they do really love democratic processes that are ill-run and easy to cheat at. They love those!!
Mail-in ballots and anonymous drop-off boxes for the win!!! Let’s see how those “81 million” “votes” for a nasty vegetable hiding in his basement really look.
Didn’t the Democratic Party keep serious challengers to Biden out of the primaries?
Yes. It was down to Powerline’s Scott Johnson’s cousin to challenge Biden because nobody else would, and of course he got about as many votes as you would expect.
Hey, Soviet-style elections are still elections.
And yes-or-no is still a choice, isn’t it?
All hail the plurality!
Alinsky-like it is, and I like it, but between ourselves we should bear in mind that it’s not really a fair attack, because Dem primary voters were never given a real choice in the first place. It’s not as if they deliberately chose Biden over a real alternative. Even those who didn’t want Biden voted “uncommitted”.
That just makes the argument even more solid. The Democrats are overthrowing the “will” of the voters who were forced to take part in a sham primary merely to give the appearance to outsiders that it was a democratic process. And now, the Democrats are even reneging on their Potemkin process, which was carried out to deny the will of the voters initially without making it appear so.
All these additions just make the story worse.
But, none of it matters. People who vote for Democrats don’t care about actual democracy. The Democrat party, today, only cares about their demented self-hating nihilism and working to destroy America … which reminds them of their father, whom they hate with the heat of a million burning suns.
“it’s not really a fair attack, because Dem primary voters were never given a real choice in the first place. It’s not as if they deliberately chose Biden”
Yes, but they’re stupid enough to THINK they did, so no effectiveness is lost.
Any argument that the d/prog elders should simply and without criticism anoint their preferred candidate in Chicago and toss the primary results in the trash b/c the primary the d/prog ran was rigged to ensure a Biden victory seems devoid of any concern about fairness.
Barky had no effect on this, at all. Barky is an inept retard who can barely tie his shoelaces. This all happened because of polling and, most importantly, DONORS. Traitor Joe is losing Silicon Valley quickly and that is death for the whole fetid Democrat party. Watch the last episode of Andreesen and Horowitz’s podcast(?) to see how Traitor Joe’s people have completely screwed up with Silicon Valley – over really, rally stupid stuff, too.
This isn’t anything new. They did change rules during the 2016 primaries specifically to keep Sanders off the ballot in favor of Hillary. He’d have been the one running against Trump first time around if not for their shenannigans.
same in the 2008 primaries
obama and hillary had rules changed to meet their needs
It was the super-delegates who called the shots in the 2008 dem “primary”.
Barky never won a single primary election in that primary, IIRC. He won the caucuses, where his people could bully others around the auditorium, but he lost all of the actual elections that were run, often by gigantic amounts.
And the giant irony here is that the convention will be in Chicago again this year, the same site where in 1968 the party promised rioters that they would never ever again do the smoke-filled room bullshit.
I would crack up if some illegals slipped into the dem convention center early and squatted the place.
/Truth
No Leftist, including Democrats, believes in consent of the governed [other than forced submission] or a constitutional republic using democratic form.
Subotai Bahadur
The will of the Democrat voters is to do what the party wants, not to nominate Joe Biden.
The screed from Blagojevich floors me.
Has Rod “found Jesus,” or did Barky piss in his corn flakes?
So Democrats sued to keep anyone challenging Biden off primary ballots, threatened states on when they should hold primaries, made sure Biden was the nominee and were in the process of instituting a virtual nomination before the convention to sew it all up ahead of time. Now with the assassination attempt on Trump and the polls heading south everywhere they organize a coup disenfranchising the nearly 15,000,000 democrats they forced to vote for him.
Sounds like Democracy to me.
There is nothing quite like Democrat Party democracy! 🤣🤣🤣
