Opinion: Harris move mockery of democracy

Joe Biden’s plan for regime change in the Kremlin has taken a disastrous turn since its inception in 2022.

The innumerable sanctions placed on Russia have failed to destroy the economy, the ruble is not rubble, the Wagner group takeover led by Yevgeny Prigozhin failed to ignite rebellion in military units, governmental organizations or the general populace, Putin was reelected with over 80% of the vote and the war is going badly for Ukraine and their NATO allies.

Rather than focusing on regime change in Russia, Biden would have been better served had he spent time worrying about a coup d’etat coming for him from the Democrat party establishment.

It is difficult to pinpoint the exact time when the president’s disability began to cause concern. Perhaps it began when he tripped on the stairs of Air Force 1, and grew from there.

Even after Robert Hur’s report indicated his belief that Biden was incompetent to stand trial for the presumed offense of having unauthorized classified information, Democrat leadership was able to continue the charade that the president was in good health and completely normal mentally.

These same political leaders cleared the way for Biden to sweep the Democrat primaries and claim the nomination.

The Trump debate was a cruel jolt of shock and awe for the Democrat principals. Biden was not only “an elderly man with a poor memory” as depicted by the Hur report, it appeared he would be unable to mount a credible campaign against Trump.

With pressure mounting from leading Democrat politicians and large doners, Biden was eventually forced to decline the nomination, but he retains his position as president of the United States. The coup was complete.

Democrats of all persuasions should be enraged at their party leaders. These people arranged to remove any opposition to Biden’s primary campaign, effectively denying voters their right to elect a candidate of their choice.

The same con artists who intentionally disenfranchised their own voters in the primaries, are once again denying them a chance to vote for Biden’s replacement at the Democrat Convention.

Democrat leaders are disenfranchising their elected delegates at the Democrat Convention.

They have chosen to anoint Kamala Harris, who never received a primary vote in any election, without considering any other candidate.

They are making a mockery out of democracy. Convention delegates should demand an open convention.
