Just like the Republicans back in the Nineties (and beyond), the Democrats today CAN'T win elections honestly—because they're pushing an agenda that repels most voters. What, then, must we do?
There is so much to take in with this necessary article. Thank you for calling it like you see it, and you clearly see it through a lens of extensive research on the subject.
I am someone who has been a lifelong conservative, but who on a couple of occasions voted for a Democrat. Until 2020's brazen election theft, coupled by the complete censorship, I had always believed that Bush won fairly in 2000 and 2004. After all, I voted for him twice and loved him and the elder President Bush for many years.
Once the election of 2020 happened and I saw Sidney Powel's "Kracken" 270-page document, and heard her statement that the computerized election theft went back decades and was used to benefit both parties, I felt in my heart she was being candid with the truth. I then did my own digging and began to understand that W was likely one of those who reaped the benefit of these pre-ordained election results stemming from fraudulent elections.
I now question every single thing he did during his presidency. He had been vaulted to hero status in my mind by his strong and swift response to the unimaginable 9/11 terrorist attack. I used to cringe at those who dared to question whether it could have been an inside job. After living through the administrative state's multiple coup attempts during Trump's presidency, seeing them sabotage their own government and country, I now find myself wondering about this 9/11 "inside job" question too. Especially when you look at who benefitted the most from the attack - the government clearly. With each atrocity, they impose more and more encroachments on people's liberties and rights.
In conclusion, to anyone openminded enough to at least listen to me, I now make a point to tell them that the elections have been stolen for years and by both parties. I emphasize that point to try to make them see that we're in this same boat - we're in it together. Sadly, in today's climate of massive deception, they mostly think I am deluded, as they parrot whatever they have heard on legacy media. However, there will one day be a tipping point, if enough people learn this essential truth. That the cheating has gone both ways and is always for the elites who control things and is always against the people.
So, thank you for this timely article and please do keep pressing the issue.
When Gore was told to drop the recount, and I saw Jim Baker standing side by side with the Dems, I knew the fix was in, and it was coming from above the party divide. In my mind, it was a huge tell, jaw-dropping.
When I pointed it out to others, they laughed it off, or shrugged.
The parties care nothing for the truth. There are very few willing to look at this and leave their biases at the door, but such is the world that has come to be since Bush v Gore.
WSJ has nearly every single article inserted with the phrase "false claim" when discussing anything related to Trump or the 2020 election. There doesn't seem to be any mainstream news source now that is not CIA controlled. Yet if I discuss this with an average person, they call me nuts. People have no critical thinking skills. Everyone's lives would be better without this rampant organized criminality ruining our existence.
My issue with the whole “stolen election” trope (which I do believe to be true) is that the media was extremely unfair, to the point of lying and manipulating quotes.
Democrats called for lockdowns and a destruction of the economy to hurt Trump, BLM was propped up and allowed to burn American cities to the ground, while the media once again ran cover for them, amongst numerous other grievous crimes committed against us.
They burnt the country to the ground to rule over the ashes.
Thanks for an elucidating piece, as well as a reminder to thank you for the amount of work you have done on this issue in the past
I would submit that "rigged" is the most accurate operative term - as it has ever been so. some candidates caterwaul - to a point, some step back . But (imo) the real choice is made by others- outside of Dem/Rep paradigm- not that party operatives aren't utilized in effectuating such
The theft is not from the R's by the D's, or vice versa,
the elections are "stolen" from us by the system that employs the puppet politicians ...
Let us leave Never-Never Land and examine The Very Real and Duplicitous Function of the Two Party System in the American Political Universe.
The two parties play an indispensable role in society's political machinery. This doesn't mean they have any real power, in terms of controlling the state or setting policy. It means that without the existence of the Two Party System, the US could no longer maintain the pretense that it's a "democracy."
If either Party disintegrated tomorrow, the US would be revealed for what it really is -- a One-Party state ruled by a narrow alliance of business interests. Both party's true function is largely theatrical. They don't exist to fight for change, but only to create the illusion that one fine distant day they might possibly bestir themselves to fight for change.
Thus the whole magic of The Two Party Show -- the essential service it renders to the US power structure -- lies not in what they do, but in their mere existence: by simply existing, and doing nothing, they pretend to be something they are not; and this is enough to relieve despair and to let the system portray itself as a "democracy."
As long as the two parties exist, most Americans will believe we have a "democracy" and a "choice" in how we are ruled. They will not despair, and will not revolt, as long as they have this hope for "change within the system."
From the system's point of view, this mechanism serves as the ultimate safety valve -- it insures against a despairing populace, thus eliminates the threat of rebellion; yet guarantees that no serious change to the system will be mounted. Neither Party is the "lesser evil;" they are auxiliary subdivisions of the same evil.
To understand the political system, one must step back and regard its operation as an integrated whole. The system can't be properly understood if one's study of it begins with an uncritical acceptance of the 2-party system, and the conventional characterizations of the two parties. (Indeed, the fact that society encourages one to view it in this latter way, is perhaps a warning that this perspective should not be trusted.)
Any given piece of reactionary legislation is invariably supported by a higher percentage of Republicans during one term or by Democrats the next. Does this show that one or the other is the "lesser evil?"
If one focuses on the noble efforts of a few outspoken dissenters, it's easy to feel that on any given issue one party is somewhat less evil. But in the larger picture, Party D invariably submits to what Party R more ardently promulgates until the next issue where the script gets flipped.
Thus the overall function of the system is not to fight for everyday people, but to participate in this ever shifting totalitarian process. Just as the Harlem Globetrotters need their Washington Generals to make their basketball games properly entertaining, Republicans and Democrats need each other for effective staging of the political show.
Mark! WOW!!!! Thanks so much for this enlightening piece, and for all you have done for election integrity issues.
Even though I voted Democratic in every Presidential election 1972 - 2012, I was not aware until now of the problem as you describe it here.
But during 2010-2014 or so, I did a deep dive into “climate change,” even contributing $100K to a climate modeling effort (that was to include the effect of clouds) at Caltech... and eventually saw what a scam the so-called science behind this issue was. (This helped me, BTW, see the fraud right away in the Covid scam.)
I voted Republican for the first time in 2016 in the hopes of getting the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Accords, and over time, became more conservative on a whole host of issues. So now I am a hard core “MAGA Extremist,” ha! (But, like you and Alex Jones, I do not support Trump in his pig-headed insistence re: the vax... he’s a big disappointment on that score. But preferable, still, over any Democrat out there who pushed for mandates, lockdowns, masks, etc.)
It was the 2020 election fraud that opened my eyes. For me and others, it was blatant and painfully clear what had happened — don’t believe your own eyes, folks, nothing here to see!
I do believe that many, many of us conservatives who are fighting right now to fix our election issues really do want free and fair elections, and do NOT want to win unfairly. So many of us are advocating for paper ballots, same-day voting, etc. etc.
Our eyes are open, and many will be interested in what you have to say here... just as I am.
THANK YOU.
P.S. Interesting story about John Kerry... what a wuss.
The "denier" epithet, cooked up psywar labs to rhyme with Holocaust denier, is being wheeled out ever more frequently. There's "election denier," as you mention. There's "virus denier," shouted at anyone who exposes virology as a pseudoscience. And, wielded by the less-bright useful idiots, there's lately "vaccine denier." I take it as a Freudian slip that vaccines are a modern Holocaust.
This is grim. We can no more stop whatever is about to happen at the midterms than we can stop the wars or the propaganda. Meeting with and speaking with famous people can often be jarring, some of them aren't at all what they seem in the media. Another reason we need to keep human interaction in person as much as possible for important matters. I imagine there have been few rallies, town halls, and bus tours and old fashioned methods like that. I had one guy knock on my door, a libertarian for a local position. We had a nice conversation, I will vote for the guy that took that time and was genuine.
Dead Voters deserve the same rights and respect as the non dead voters. And yes, all dead voters wear pink t shirts and vote democratic.
Slow Voters are another valid group that votes only for democrats- they send tens of thousands of votes in, but slowly, after the election, and only if an election was won by a republican.
I am writing today to convey to Professor Miller this, your resume reflects the brilliants of what you stated in this 8 minute video. Every word and every point made was so spot on and delivered so eloquently it inspired me. Thank you for your participation in the Fauci film as well. My sister shared this with me and I conveyed that I have been following you for a good while now.
I wish I had the guts to email this to my sister...she is a rabid liberal flings around conspiracy theory like salt over a shoulder, and no matter how much I tell her it is no longer about left vs right, but totalitarianism v. liberty...she won't believe it.
Great summary, Mark, of all these endless shenanigans. I wish I had more faith that this could be rectified, even partly so. When the joker democrats deride the "concept" of Voter ID, I know they're totally corrupt. Presenting ID to vote, wow, that's TERRIBLE.
Speaking of Democracy Now, was it ME that changed so much or has Amy Goodman become a complete sock puppet of the powers that ought not be?? I don't think Mark would EVER be invited on now, unless to make him look bad in some b.s. segment on "Democrats" gone rogue. Not only won't Amy and DN cover Vax injury and dangers, she's done stories on the poor neglected people in third world countries who aren't getting ENOUGH of this poison shite!! I actually heard her say some months back (it was on in the car) at the end of a show, "Wearing a mask is an act of love." Yes, I thought I was hallucinating but then again reality has become unremittingly hallucinatory.

Thank you for turning your laser to this, MCM.
Wouldn’t it be nice if NEITHER side could ever cheat again? A girl can dream.

DC was set up for what purpose????
The States need to control the purse strings. Limit federal government. Fire them all.
