Today’s Go-To Political Formula

Karl Rove said the quiet part out loud here. It is a very powerful strategy, especially when fortified with widespread censorship and sophisticated U.S. Security State Psyops. That's why it is the Democratic Party's bread and butter on all major issues today. Congratulations, Democrats. You have become that abhorrent thing that Republicans have been for decades!

RFK, Jr.:

I saw Kamala, you know, at the convention and she gave a speech that was very bellicose and belligerent. It was a kind of speech that was written by neocons and the CIA. The first time in history they had the CIA former director speaking right before, Leon Panetta, and military people speaking at the Democratic Convention. Democrats were the anti-war party. They were the pro-Constitution Party. They were the party that was against Wall Street and representing the little guys, the cops, the firefighters union and labor people. In the 2020 election, roughly 50% of the people in this country voted for Donald Trump. But that group that voted for Donald Trump represented 30% of the wealth in our country. The 50% of the people that voted for Joe Biden represented 70% of the wealth.

There's been an inversion now, where the Republican Party has become the party of the common man, of working people of the middle class, the Democratic Party has become the party of Wall Street, of the military industrial complex, a Big Pharma, Big Agriculture, Big Tech, the Big Banking systems and all of Donald Trump calls the deep state, which is this, this web of financial interest that not is unnecessarily a little conspiracy, but it's a conspiracy of self interest that functions together in tandem to shift wealth upward, to clamp down totalitarian controls and to transform this country and from the world's exemplary democracy into a corporate kleptocracy and A very, very oppressive oligarchical system, the kind of system we fought a revolution to overthrow in 1776.

The DNC Version of “Democracy”

The recent DNC coup seals the deal. Biden is out and Kamala Harris is in. Is that democracy in action? The Washington Post thinks so, as Matt Taibbi explains in his article, "In Final Kick in the Pants, Departing Biden Denounced as Another Trump: When Joe Biden failed to immediately assume the position when party bigwigs called for his head, Beltway insiders lumped him in with the Orange One". An Excerept:

Florida canceled a primary for him; North Carolina, Massachusetts, Tennessee, and Wisconsin submitted only his name to ballots; and New Hampshire chose delegates through a “nominating event” that didn’t include voters. Under a new vision in which “the DNC [was] not something separate” from the Biden campaign, the party refused to schedule debates with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Dean Phillips, or Marianne Williamson. Proof that “America’s beleaguered system still functioned” would have involved a competitive primary through which Democratic voters could discover Biden’s infirmities early enough for them to have a say in choosing a fitter candidate. Instead, the public was only confronted with the truth a few weeks ago, by which time only internal party power brokers were positioned to make a change. That’s a failure of democracy, unless you think choosing a candidate without voter input is a systemic improvement.

The Post cheered the stage-managed primary season throughout, running laudatory pieces about “How the DNC challenger-proofed the primaries for Biden” and profiles of the “hidden campaign” Biden ran with the party. The paper noted the Biden team’s belief that the president could “seize the advantage of a unified party apparatus” while “splintered” Republicans faced “an increasingly bitter primary battle between Trump and his rivals for the presidential nomination.” In reality, Republicans benefited from competition, getting long looks at Trump and rivals like Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy, while Biden was shielded from competition all the way through his calamitous collapse in the middle of a general election season.
