Steve Schmidt: An election away from losing the country to people who no longer believe in democracy

December 13, 2020 By Egberto Willies

*

Steve Schmidt as he always does hits the nail on the head. Even with a 7 million vote Biden lead, we almost lost our democracy.

Steve Schmidt reveals an unfortunate truth

See full episodes here.

Steve Schmidt did not mince his words when as a former Republican he made the following profound statement.

“The competition in American politics is now between a Democratic Party,” Steve Schmidt said. “Meaning a party that believes in democracy versus an autocratic party. Then we’ve never seen that when you see that many members of congress breaking faith with their oath to overturn an election because they don’t like a result, we’re off the reservation to a place that we might not be able to get back on it from and so it’s a very worrying moment. And what it means is now we’re one, we’re one election away from losing the country to people who no longer believe in democracy.”

In effect, Schmidt has acknowledged that the Democratic Party is the only viable and sensible party given the state of the two-party system. And that is a shame. Monopolies of any kind are not wise, even if initially benevolent. We need robust competition of ideas.

    OK, the right of redress is sedition. Free speech is treason.
    That’s where that maniacal notion goes.
    The right to redress is sedition and the Constitution is dead.
    I’d rather we nuke ourselves, starting right top dead center of my head.

    So, we’ll shutter all courts of l aw forever, because of stupid, ignoring the fact that the fucking system worked.

    RIGHTS ARE ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    PICK YOUR GOD-KING, idiot.
    Or actually he happy that our fucking system actually fucking worked.

    Aw, screw it. I say we bite off all of their heads and pile the bodies in a corner.

    Or are you also a sore winner?
    Like Trump was in 2016.
    Lemme know, I and Venom are hungry. 😉

      The “fucking system” did not work, at least not until the last minute, (when the Supreme Court declined to participate in a treasonous plot to destroy the American Constitution and overturn the will of a 7 million vote majority. The “system” needs to be totally updated to keep such villainous fascists from ever coming this close to a successful coup again. No President (or any other elected official) should be “above the law”! In the meanwhile, Trump, in service to his master (Putin), critically weakened American democracy, fractured America’s traditional alliances, and unnecessarily lost time in the critical race to save our planet from ourselves, and in the race to defeat the Covid-19 pandemic (unnecessarily leading to the deaths of at least 200,000 more Americans than would have died but for Trump’s ineptitude, stupidity, and his purposeful and knowingly playing down of the dangers of the pandemic, while corruptly lining his, his family’s and his rich friends pockets). How is that the system working? We refuse to pick a God-King . . . . . . . . idiot! Now go back to your co-traitors and cry in your beer! YOU LOST! I neither feed nor tolerate TROLLS (or fools) and you appear to be both, so don’t expect me to give YOU any more attention than this message. “Begone TROLL . . . . . you have no power here!
