“I say that completely without any hesitation”
Orwell is from an older school. The new postmodern school has liberal politicians and pundits saying nonsense that would embarrass a North Korean propagandist. They advocate for censorship and shutting down dissent in order to protect democracy. The two-party system, they contend is democracy, but anything else is a threat to democracy.
Here’s Nan.
Nancy Pelosi on Thursday eviscerated the centrist group No Labels and its attempt to mount a third-party presidential bid.
“I think that No Labels is perilous to our democracy. I say that completely without any hesitation,” she said. “This is about an illusion being created, that it’s about non-partisanship and bringing people together.”
What the hell does that even mean?
No Labels is a threat to democracy because it creates an illusion of non-partisanship? I know Nancy’s neurons aren’t firing like they used to, but this is less about age and more about a political culture in which people repeat cliches and buzzwords that are meaningless, but whose core meaning is that only they have an absolute right to power.
Democracy doesn’t involve people choosing elected officials to represent them, it’s Democrats. And if democracy is inseparable from the Democrat Party, then anyone else is a threat to democracy. Doesn’t matter if it’s Republicans or No Labels or some other third party. The only way to have real democracy is to have no choices.
“When they jeopardize the reelection of Joe Biden as president of the United States, I can no longer remain silent on them,” Pelosi said.
Technically Biden hasn’t even won the party nomination. Most Democrats don’t want him. I guess that makes them a threat to democracy too.
Pelosi, like most of her party, act like all of that is irrelevant. Having equated their party with democracy, they’ve also equated Biden with democracy.
Anyone who runs against Biden threatens democracy by… allowing people to vote for someone who isn’t Biden.
We just can’t have democracy if different candidates run for public office.
And if you thought that was crazy, Nan went one better.
“They do have a label, and it’s a perilous one for our country,” she said. “Just look at who they want to have an influence on our policy.”
She listed off a number of prominent No Labels donors including conservative mega-donors Peter Thiel and the late David Koch.
David Koch died in 2019. Is he going to be influencing things from beyond the grave? I know that Chicago Dems keep voting a century after their death, but unless Koch has the world’s greatest Ouija board, I think his influence is done.
Also Koch apparently didn’t even donate, by then he had retired due to poor health and would be dead a year later, he was just one of the many donors solicited across the political spectrum.
Among those courted were individuals who’ve bankrolled massive parts of the Republican Party’s infrastructure, including David Koch, former AIG head Hank Greenberg, and billionaire hedge-fund manager Paul Singer; as well as top supporters of President Donald Trump, including PayPal founder Peter Thiel, businessman Foster Friess, and Home Depot founder Ken Langone. No Labels also courted liberal-minded moneymen, including Michael Vachon, a top political adviser to George Soros (one of the biggest funders of Democratic and progressive causes) and Reid Hoffman, an investor and entrepreneur who has called Trump “worse than useless.” The group also targeted Wendi Murdoch (ex-wife of Rupert and rumored Ivanka Trump pal), uber-agent Ari Emanuel, and Dallas Mavericks owner and oft-rumored presidential aspirant Mark Cuban. Another possible 2020 candidate, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, was also among dozens of high net-worth individuals approached about donating to No Labels’ super PACs. Most of those targeted for financial support didn’t end up donating to No Labels super PACs.
So like a lot of political groups, No Labels was targeting anyone with money. But Pelosi will fight to save democracy from being undermined by a donation unsuccessfully solicited from a dead guy or something.
Everyone in North Korea, China, Cuba and Russia knows that democracy only works when there’s one candidate, the beloved leader, and bad stuff happens to anyone who opposes him.
Only by eliminating free elections, will democracy be saved from democracy.

That falsehood speaking Nancy Pelosi, is a blatant liar when she called the election integrity, pro –Trump rally at Washington DC on January 6,2021 and “insurrection.” Those patriots rally had no firearms; they didn’t attempt to overthrow the US government. The only people, who died that day, meaning they were murdered, were American patriots. Murdered they had been indeed by Pelosi thugs in uniform.
The real insurrectionist were seen in the year 2020 by the Marxist hooligans of Antifa and BLM who engaged in arson vandalism and the invasion and takeover of local city and township buildings.
The two reasons Pelosi didn’t denounce and condemn them for as trying to engage in an insurrection as she should have. The two reasons that she didn’t is because they are subversive Communists masquerading as “civil rights activists. The second reason that if did denounce them as “dangerous insurrectionists” then that would be speaking the truth. Which is something that Pelosi has a strong aversion for.

The dems don’t want 3rd party candidates running. They will siphon off dem votes.
Republicans need to start playing devious games like the dems do. We as republicans need to start a 3rd party for the left to divide it.
Just have a candidate run and offer all sorts of freebies to the Free Shit Army. Go above and beyond Biden’s promises. Offer all student loan forgiveness. Offer reparations for all slave descendants. Offer to double welfare. Increase child tax credits. Free child care. Offer to tax the middle class and rich to pay for it all.
Just need to pull 4 or 5% of the vote to ensure the dems never win again.

That liar Nancy Pelosi referred Joe Biden as “great President” The only way Biden can, truly, be called “great “ is that Creepy subversive Joe is a “Great disaster upon America.”
Walter Sieruk says
That horrendously wicked ,Nancy Pelosi ,is despicably cunning that she no doubt had her sinister and insidious hand in that leftist sinister schemed January 6h 2021 set up against the pro-Trump American patriots of that terrible day.
This shows valid the claim by some Conservatives about the “global lefts attack on free speech” is very valid and true and seen on the horrendous affronts committed against the American patriots on January 6th 2021 who only came to Washington DC , not to engage in any so called “insurrection” but only to peacefully to gather to protest to a despicable rigged hoax of an “election.” In other words, they came to speak out by objecting to election fraud.
In which when the leftist politically correct set up. Likewise, leftist appointed Capital “police” actually waved the patriots into the federal building to engage an entrapment and deadly violence inside that Federal building and that Capital “police officer ,Byrd, viciously murdered the defenseless Ashil Babbitt in cold blood.
How completely despicable and unconscionable of those people of the left –wing.
The January 6th patriots who are the political prisoners who are denied their US Constitutional rights and also suffer many basic human rights violations under this tyrannical Biden regime. Including that of free speech.
Walter Sieruk says
Nancy Pelosi is liar and a manipulative subversive.
First, Pelosi is definitely a falsehood speaker she called Joe Biden “A Great President.”
Vote stealing election fraud “President” pretender Biden while masquerading as a genuine, real , US President really be a great catastrophe for America and the American people, but that’s the only accurate and fitting way that terrible dangerous old Joe be called “great.”
Second , the another way Pelosi is subversive and manipulative is that he is obviously guilty as sin by attempting to hide the video recording and other information from the American public about the January 6th, 2021, set up against the American pro-Trump patriots at Washington DC.
This shows that she must had her insidious sinister hand of incited that mayhem and basic human rights and Constitutional violations against those patriots.
