 It’s simple: Democrats are intentionally destroying democracy. They all knew Biden was infirm. But they waited till after the primary to acknowledge someone would need to succeed him. They waited till the people no longer had any say in who the Party would nominate. In other words, they waited till there wasn’t any shred of democracy involved in picking the leader of the Democrat Party.

What they want instead is a one-party state like California, where “elections” are held but a Party member always wins. They want intra-party selection, not competitive multiparty election. This is why Democrats seek to jail the opposition — so they can run without opposition. And this is also why they seek to control the Internet — so that the Internet doesn’t threaten their control.

All the Party really wants is to steal money and give it to their loyalists. That’s what the millions in student loans and billions for nonfunctional trains and trillions in printed bills are all about — the greatest robbery in history. They just want the public's money, they don’t want the public to have any say over whether they're in power.
