Key Takeaways:
– Kamala Harris, Vice President, is involved in politics that seem to contradict democratic policies.
– Some Democrats now seemingly advocate for the destruction of democracy.
– It’s suggested there are calls for the resignation of the Biden-Harris leadership, with Harris then to fill a slot on the Supreme Court.
– There is an increasing leaning towards extreme politics within the Democratic Party raising concerns.
Shifting Dynamics of the Democratic Party
Kamala Harris, the Vice President, encountered a significant spotlight on February 7 when she participated in the Senate procession at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. It was for the State of the Union Address by President Joe Biden.
However, this occurred amidst mounting concerns that Democrats are advocating for what some consider a downfall of democracy – a drastic departure from their long-held position. Interestingly, these allegations come not long after they used the protection of democracy to substantiate their opposition to now President-elect Donald Trump.
Role Reversals in Politics?
Renowned law professor Jonathan Turley indicates that democracy might lose its allure on the left. Turley brings out irony in how some Democratic politicians and pundits, including Harris, insisted on their election for America’s democracy survival. However, with their loss, democracy now seems to be the problem.
The Spotlight on Voters
Turley further notes that it is the disapproval for Democrats among voters that broadens this issue. Trump’s increasing popularity amongst various demographics, such as women, young voters, and several ethnic groups, has added to this displeasure. An element of irony also emerges as calls ring for President Biden’s resignation to allow Harris, who did not secure commendable votes in previous elections, to become President.
Possible Supreme Court Shakeup and More?
The situation grows far more interesting as the media, former Harris aides, and more advocate for Biden’s resignation and Harris’s elevation to the highest court. However, Turley rightly points out that Harris’s competence for such a role remains uncertain.
Claims of Totalitarianism from the Left
The Democratic Party now faces allegations of striving for a one-party state, largely focusing on unrestricted abortion rights and LGBTQ ideologies. These radical changes seem to defy the democratic schools of thought and account for Harris’s loss in the presidency race.
The Risks to Democracy
Robert Gagnon, an insightful writer, elaborates that the left has unhealthy control over several sectors such as news media, universities, and top companies. They wanted even more power, leading to the desperate measures in pushing extreme ideologies, loss of respect for the Senate filibuster, and hopes of adding senators to boost their party strength.
American citizens are now more aware of the changing tides within the Democratic Party’s policies, pushing more towards political extremism and totalitarianism. They seem to be withdrawing their support, evident by Harris’s defeat in the Presidential race.
Will Democracy prevail?
This transformation from the protection of democracy to its potential termination raises critical questions about the unusually changing political arena. The focus now remains on how these will play out in light of Republicans’ increasing popularity. The threading worry is if these substantial shifts will upheave democracy’s essence. Only time will tell.
