November’s election presents a clear choice. One side offers a candidate who is a replaceable cog in a party machine. When President Biden sagged in the polls, it wasn’t a problem for the Democratic Party machine.
Party elites merely appointed one of the worst-performing primary contenders to stand in place of the man chosen by the party’s voters. The leaders of the Democratic Party, it turns out, are not as big on democracy as they often claim. That’s why Robert F.
Kennedy Jr. and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard recently renounced their lifetime association with the Democratic Party — and help the candidate on the other side as a result.
The party that once represented the anti-war left has evolved into a cheerleader for endless foreign conflict. The Biden-Harris administration’s foreign policy choices have poured gasoline on the fire of international strife — to the delight of defense contractors happy to enrich those who help sell more of their bombs and missiles. The party that once celebrated the burning of U.
S. flags in the name of free speech is now sending people to jail for posting funny pictures on the internet. For example, Douglass Mackey is appealing his federal conviction for mocking Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign as the party gleefully uses the power of government to silence anyone with a divergent opinion by calling it “misinformation.
” The machine’s latest candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, is not a particularly charismatic.
