Voting won't matter: Biden’s power grab could destroy elections

[seafoam1 2,859]

 

America is on a path to becoming functionally election-proof. One more four-year term of President Joe Biden’s puppet regime may be enough to lock in irreversible changes that put partisan agendas within the federal government on autopilot. If that happens, the voice of the people can be silenced. 

When I left Congress in 2017, I thought the path to restoring liberty and prosperity in America ran through elections. If I could add my voice to others working to sway voters and impact elections, we could elect freedom-loving congressional majorities to turn back the tide of big government and runaway spending.  

As I write in my new book, "The Puppeteers: The People Who Control the People Who Control America," the battlefield has changed. Under the guise of "saving our democracy," the Biden administration has actually compromised representative government.  

In his many speeches purporting to Save Our Democracy, Biden lists his own prescriptions for saving democracy – and there is a certain irony there. The calls to action are almost all decidedly undemocratic.  

Think about it. To Save Our Democracy, we are told we must give government a bigger say in which cars we buy, what companies we invest in, what races of job candidates we hire, which demographic groups get targeted for ballot collection, which headlines get labeled as misinformation and what type of medical research gets funded. 

The left just needs to change all the rules to ensure the ruling party can govern unobstructed by pesky voters, checks on power or partisan minority voices. But those changes don’t save democracy. They save Democratic majorities.  

Just look at Biden’s March 2021 executive order directing all 600+ federal agencies to help "get out the vote." The federal government doesn’t run elections – local governments do. But Biden’s order demands agencies tilt the playing field in his party’s favor. 

His puppeteers are putting in place mechanisms that ensure power never really changes hands, regardless of what the voters have to say. Even if voters elect a president from a different party, it could take years for that person to reverse broad programs implemented across the whole federal government. 

Likewise, the Biden administration has used rulemaking authority to require companies to produce reports documenting their adherence to progressive orthodoxy. They authorize the criminalization of dissent from approved narratives and the surveillance of suspicionless Americans.  

New rules dictate the hiring of progressive-aligned job candidates, outsource education curriculum development to progressive-aligned teachers unions and privilege federal contracts to those who conform to specific political views. 

To take back our country, we need to recognize that we’re in a new fight. Winning the next election may no longer be enough – although it’s crucial. It’s a fight we can win. But only if we enlist more help from states and state elected officials to challenge the power federal bureaucrats have usurped.  

In a world where the executive branch, with the help of partisan allies, has managed to insulate itself from voter sentiment, we have to fight this battle on constitutional grounds. In addition to winning federal elections, we must escalate the work of states and state elected officials to challenge unconstitutional federal power grabs.

remember that when the Constiution was written, political parties didn't exist.  Pretty much the second after the nation got off the ground, everyone stared forming political parties to the dismay of the framers of the Constitution.  The sole purpose of a political party is to short circuit checks and balances.  that's the only reason they exist.  get enough of your paid men and women to march in lockstep and checks and balances go out the window.

in this case, if Biden can get all these agencies and levers in power in the hands of democrats, he can turn into a dictator.

Money should not flow through the government other than for security.

Unless it was you who left Congress in 2017, you should tell us who  wrote this.

I forgot the link, But let me give you a hand in how to find it if you are interested. 

I just did this myself to find it.

Copy the words in the article that I posted and put them in the Google search. It took me to this link of exactly the same article.

Yeah. I don't know much about the guy but I like what he wrote.  I think sometimes when people look deep into who wrote something, they miss the message being conveyed and try to find some nefarious reasoning behind everything they say. But, that said, sometimes there is ill intent. I don't think that in this case though. 

 

 

Jason E. Chaffetz (/ˈtʃeɪfɪts/; born March 26, 1967) is an American retired politician who served as the U.S. representative for Utah's 3rd congressional district from 2009 until his resignation in 2017.^[1] He chaired the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform from 2015 until 2017.

Chaffetz came to prominence in 2015 for his extensive investigations into Hillary Clinton. He rescinded his endorsement of Donald Trump in early October 2016 but expressed his intent to vote for him three weeks later. Having investigated Clinton and the Obama administration extensively, Chaffetz drew criticism after the 2016 election for declining to investigate potential conflicts of interest relating to President Donald J. Trump, and that of other individuals involved in his 2016 presidential campaign and subsequent presidential administration.

He resigned from office in 2017, six months into his fifth Congressional term, and has since been a commentator, Fox News contributor, and author. In 2021 Chaffetz joined the Government Accountability Institute.^[2]

The right or the Left it don’t matter, they are on the same team.  Don’t put your trust in man, put your trust in the Lord.  

Amen.

What's the point of saying this? Please elaborate on how God is going to run our economy.

More and more this sort of argument is going to be used by conservatives as demographics and democracy is working against them. Conservatives are losing elections so the elections are no longer fair. It won’t be long before many conservatives openly push for the end of our democratic system altogether.

Quit saying this dumbass.  Trump was elected President and likely would have repeated but for Covid.  There are more Republican state governors than Democrat.  The GOP holds the House.  This isn't about one party losing.  It's about fair elections and the balance of power, which is skewing further and further towards the executive branch and altering the balance of power the founders intended.  Only a hack retard wouldn't see this.

As usual your insults apply much more to yourself than they do to me. Republicans have lost the popular vote in 7 out of the last 8 Presidential elections. They won the House barely and only thanks to some pretty severe gerrymandering. Republicans continue to do very well among non-college educated whites and in rural areas. They are make some gains in Hispanic voting and this might sustain them in future years. But overall they are in trouble. They know this which is the main reason for the advent of the MAGA movement and all that entails in the first place. 
 

The only hope for conservatives is that moderates and centrists get fed up with the Democratic Party moving too far to the left. That could happen. Otherwise you’re living on borrowed time.

Again, retard posting pathetic talking points.   The rules dictate the strategy.  Republicans don't campaign in heavily blue states/areas in the Presidential election for a reason.  If you aren't aware of that strategy I don't know what to tell you except to educate yourself.  And why are you limiting your stat to Presidential elections?  Simply because it benefits your "argument?"  Well, it doesn't except with other hacks.   We aren't a dictatorship, although you probably would prefer that we were.
