| Kamala: Our Democracy Is Doomed Without Federal Takeover Over Voting System |
| 2021-12-28 |
| [USA Today] WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris said the United States may lose its standing as a role model for the world — and democracy itself would be put at risk — if voting rights legislation is not passed. Harris, who has taken the lead on voting rights, said during a wide-ranging interview broadcast Sunday on CBS News’ "Face the Nation" that people around the world are watching the United States "because we have held ourselves out to be a model of ... the ability of a democracy to coexist with an economic strength and power." But Harris warned that if lawmakers don’t pass legislation to preserve voting rights, the United States’ standing could be in jeopardy. "We have been a role model saying, 'You can see this and aspire to this and reject autocracies and autocratic leadership,'" Harris said. "Right now, we're about to take ourselves off the map as a role model if we let people destroy one of the most important pillars of a democracy, which is free and fair elections." Harris recognized the issue isn't a top concern for many Americans but said it should be. |

| #6 Of course, she means just the opposite. By now it should be clear to all that Democrats always project their own behavior onto others. |

| #5 Only a leftist could say "Only fixed elections can be fair," with a straight face. Somewhere, Orwell, lights a smoke and says "I wish I'd written that..." |

| #2 Brazen corruption. Hidden in plain sight. Pack the Court. End the filibuster. Install "D.I.E." kommissars imposing political loyalty tests. Suppress reporting on the Democrats' massive corruption including the Biden Crime Family's sale of access to a front company for the CCP. Isn't it funny how shameless and shameful mean the same thing? |
