Rarely has a party been more misnamed than the Democrats have. All Democrats. Like the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) and Democratic Kampuchea (Pol Pot’s genocidal Marxist nightmare), the Democrats are shedding all pretense of democracy.
After ousting Biden and disenfranchising the 14 million Democrats who voted for him, the Democrats are setting the agenda of eliminating any political opposition by nationalizing elections and ending the filibuster to make sure the opposition can’t interfere.
Voicing confidence that Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats will win the election, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he’s eyeing changes to the 60-vote filibuster rule to pass a pair of major bills that would expand voting rights nationwide.
Schumer, D-N.Y., outlined a path for Democrats to change the Senate rules that require holding 50 of their 51 seats. The party expects to lose Sen. Joe Manchin’s seat in West Virginia but hopes to protect incumbents, including Sens. Jon Tester, D-Mont., and Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, in addition to seeing Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., replace independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema.
Manchin and Sinema, who are both retiring, in 2022 stood in the way of Democrats who wanted to change the filibuster, which requires a majority vote — or 50 senators plus the tiebreaking vice president. But that dynamic could change next year.
“We got it up to 48, but, of course, Sinema and Manchin voted no; that’s why we couldn’t change the rules. Well, they’re both gone,” Schumer told reporters here Tuesday during the week of the Democratic convention. “Ruben Gallego is for it, and we have 51. So even losing Manchin, we still have 50.”
At a separate Politico event Monday, Schumer specified that the two bills he’d try to pass under the rule change are the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. He predicted there will be “consensus in my caucus to try and do that,” calling the two measures “very, very important.”
They’re very, very important to eliminating free and fair elections, federalizing everything and putting it under the control of partisan Democrats who will make sure that only members of their party will be in power.
It’s the Venezuelaization of America. And then maybe Schumer can take a page out of Maduro’s book and rename his party, the United Socialist Party of America.
Democracy: Two wolves and a chicken discussing what’s for dinner. The Founders called it the “tyranny of the majority.”

Don’t think “crazy.” Think ” evil.”
It’s a commie endeavor. The Dems crossed the “line” into communism in July 2020 when Biden and Sanders signed a 110 page pact. Thus the Dems went from being post-New Deal lefties to full blown commies (Bernie calls himself a Democratic Socialist but he is a full blown commie).
I’ve always known this is what they mean by “our democracy.”
