The Leftist Definition of Democracy

For the leftists, democracy is them getting their way, and when they don’t get their way, then the recourse is mobocracy.

Last week, there was an irony to beat all ironies that happened in our U.S. Capitol. The Marxist nominee for New York City Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, was invited to Capitol Hill for a free breakfast…paid for by the American taxpayer. It is utterly laughable, if not so serious, but also reflects the quote from Vladimir Lenin when he coined the phrase “useful idiots” as the means by which socialism would infiltrate into the West. If I were Mamdani, I would be LMAO as well.

But what was even more entertaining for me, and perhaps you as well, was listening to Democrat party members of Congress explaining away his visit…and free breakfast. Florida Congressman Jared Moskowitz admitted that he wanted to hear from Mamdani his communications strategy and how he ran such an effective campaign. Hmm, Moskowitz? He wanted to hear how the committed Islamo-fascist and jihadist supporter Mamdani communicated effectively? Moskowitz did not want to ask Mamdani about his Dad’s support of suicide bombers? Or did Moskowitz not want to inquire about Mamdani’s embracing of “globalizing the intifada”? Islamo-fascists have a cowardly way of explaining away why they do not condemn their actions, and sadly, useful idiots buy off on it.

But the interview that I found most telling was on CNBC Thursday morning, after Mamdani’s Wednesday freebie breakfast, with Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. I mean, she was just gushing and praising the Marxist nominee for his rent control ideas; she sidestepped the inquiry about the intifada, and then came the money line. Senator Warren said, this is how Democracy works. The people of New York City voted for Mamdani.

Yep, this is the leftist definition of democracy. It is when they win and get what they want. It is when they are voted into power and control. When they are not, like with the November 2024 election, it is not democracy; it is a dictatorship. The American people voted for closing the borders and the deportation of illegal immigrants, starting with the criminal illegal immigrants and those who pose a domestic and national security threat to our Republic. In the silly little minds of leftists, that is not democracy because that goes against their ideological agenda. Following the rule of law and the Constitution of these United States of America is tyranny. And those who have sworn to enforce those laws should be attacked, murdered, according to the left and their screeds against ICE, which has seen an increase of over 800% in violence directed towards them.

For the leftists, democracy is them getting their way, and when they don’t get their way, then the recourse is mobocracy…until they coerce, intimidate, force, threaten, and enact enough violence to have their version of democracy reestablished. I can see it already: Mamdani wins the November Mayoral race in NYC, and the retort will be, “The people have spoken; democracy works.” So let’s have government grocery stores, eliminate the existence of billionaires, eradicate law enforcement and replace them with social workers, and restrict federal ICE agents from operating in NYC. If Mamdani were to lose, well, it is because the people of NYC were intolerant, they are racist, they did not like his name, and democracy failed.

Actually, if you assess how Mamdani won the NYC Democratic primary, it was not an example of democracy. The Democrats are slyly implementing this anti-democratic means of voting called rank choice voting (RCV). RCV means that a voter does not go in and select one candidate of their choosing. Nope. They are FORCED to rank all the candidates, and then a computer algorithm takes control. And if you do not complete your ballot by ranking, it is rejected, spoiled, kicked out, and you are disenfranchised. Let’s say that you do follow instructions and rank order each candidate. There is a high possibility that your first choice ranking may not win the race. The computer algorithm aggregates the rankings, and potentially, your first-place choice could be dropped, and the person you ranked in a lower quantile could end up being the winner.

So, in essence, Senator Warren is highly incorrect in that democracy did not speak in the New York City Democratic primary Mayoral race. What spoke was the will of a computer algorithm as part of an electoral system introduced by leftists under the guise of “fairness” and simplicity. And now, it is possible, and probable, that Mamdani will win the NYC Mayoral race in November by plurality, not majority…but hey, leftists will declare democracy has spoken, the little charismatic Marxist-Jihadist has prevailed.

Democracy to the left has nothing to do with electoral integrity. Heck, these rascals want illegal immigrants to vote and be counted in our census as part of electoral representation. Now you know why they are livid about illegals being deported. Who cares about the American people democratically voting for that policy?

The brand of the once venerable Democrat party is done, damaged due to deranged, delusional, demented, deviant, diabolical, degenerate, and despotic minds. Let’s not forget that leftists have always hijacked the moniker “democrat.” Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea), Deutschland Democratic Republic (East Germany), and now Democratic Socialists on Capitol Hill getting free breakfast as they espouse a philosophy of governance rooted in ignorance, failure, and envy that can only advance itself by violence as the means to their ends. “From each according to their ability, to each according to their need” is not a principle rooted in American exceptionalism. It is the mantra of wealth redistribution, the belief of one Zohran Mamdani, whom we gave a free breakfast to in our Nation’s Capitol…not too far away from Union Station, where his fellow Islamic jihadists tore down American flags and hoisted up the Islamic terrorist flag of Hamas.

No one should willfully vote for that, unless you are a leftist who believes that democracy means ushering in the leftist destruction of the greatest Nation the world has ever known…and you are stuck on stupid.

Steadfast and Loyal.
