Kamala & Democracy in America

With each presidential election in America, the erosion of values continues unabated. The problem did not start with Donald Trump. It has nothing to do with Republicans either. It is "Democratic".

Why my headline is “Kamala & Democracy in America”? Why did I not use her last name as well? After all, she is the full-fledged “democratically” elected nominee of the other party in the American system. Doesn’t she deserve the respect others received to date? Is this the ingrained American problem of chauvinism or even worse racism?

ELECTION MANIPULATION AND EXECUTIVE OVERREACH

“The debate over executive orders began with Teddy Roosevelt’s mad passion for conservation. The 26th president used nearly 10 times as many executive orders as his predecessor”, according to some biased “political scientists”.

Has an election ever been rigged in U.S. history? This should be a better question than there has been ever been election manipulation.

Others, equally biased “writers”, say: “For an election to be truly rigged, there has to be a top-down and intentional manipulation of the result away from what it would have been if the votes had been counted according to whatever the law is at the time.”

Erosion Not Limited to Harris

Call it “democratic erosion”, “democratic backsliding”, “democratic regression”, and “autocratization”! There is an ongoing political erosion in America in an increasing fashion. Election manipulation and executive overreach are the visible parts on the surface.

More importantly, it did not start with Donald J. Trump. It is not limited to the nomination of Kamala Harris either. On the other hand, the problem must not be stretched to the 26th president. It must be noted that America is not an evolutionary but a revolutionary republic.

George Bush (43) to Joe Biden

Here is a Republican and a Democrat in order not to make it biased. Yet, both are Globalists so there goes my theory because I have biases against Globalists.

Wasn’t there a “rigging” problem during the 2000 presidential election? If not, what was all the fuss about between George Bush (43) and Al Gore?

Why did Joe Biden become the presidential nominee of the Democratic Party in the 11th hour of 2020? How come he was removed in the 11th hour in 2024?
