Democrats are admitting they can't win without rigging the election?
Democrats are not giving up on the For the People Act, their currently-failing attempt to federalize elections, removing many safeguards states currently have. House Majority Whip and Rep. Jim Clyburn is sounding the alarm for his party on that front, claiming that if the filibuster is not nuked, they will lose the House in 2022.
In the process of making his protestations, it sure seems like Clyburn admitted that his party can’t win in 2022 without rigging the election.
South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn, one of President Joe Biden’s top congressional allies, is urging him to push for major changes to the Senate’s filibuster rules — because without swift passage of the Democrats’ election reform bill, the party “can kiss the majority goodbye.”
“I don’t care whether he does it in a microphone or on the telephone — just do it,” Clyburn, the House Majority Whip, told Politico Saturday.
I’m pretty good at speaking Democrat, so it’s not hard to figure out exactly what he’s saying. According to Clyburn, unless he and his colleagues get their federalized takeover of our election system, legalizing ballot-harvesting, mass mail-in voting, banning vote ID, and publicly financing campaigns, they cannot win. That’s a very enlightening admission, given we’ve all been assured that the prior voting system used in 2020 is so beyond reproach that it’s downright dangerous to “democracy” to even question it.
...
I think this has been obvious for some time even if they have not openly admitted it before. What Democrats also think is that if they do not win democracy will disappear. It only works when they win.
