It’s rumored that some Republican-controlled state governments are considering prohibiting Joe Biden from appearing on the ballot in their states. Of course, Democrats are crying foul: ‘He isn’t an insurrectionist!’
And yet, both candidates have been convicted of insurrection exactly the same number of times: Zero.
Apparently, Democrats have proved that you don’t really need a reason to keep someone off a ballot if you have the political will and the numbers to make it happen. (Related: Thanks to Colorado, NH Republicans Can Sweep Every Federal Race in 2024.)
Just like they proved that you don’t really need a reason to impeach a president, if you have the political will and the numbers to make it happen.
I love what RFK Jr. said about the situation in Colorado. Paraphrasing, if this were happening in another country, we’d be saying: That’s not a real election.
With each week that passes, our chances of having a ‘real election’ seem to decrease significantly. This could be a good thing if it helps us move, as a country, beyond the farce that majority rule has made of what was supposed to be government by consent.
