Crisis Magazine isn’t just for Catholics. The article, Saving the Democrats from Themselves, by Benjamin D. Wiker gives a cogent explanation for how the Democratic Party has evolved to its current undemocratic state.
This deeply shared but rarely expressed conviction of the Progressive Left regarding the correcting of elections was the source of Adam Schiff’s blundering revelation: “The President’s misconduct cannot be decided at the ballot box. For we cannot be assured that the vote will be fairly won.” Translation: the only fair vote would be if he lost; any other outcome must be undone by the Democrat-media alliance.
So there we have it. The Democratic Party has a long-standing problem with democracy. Like the Constitution itself, it stands in the way of what they deem to be progress.
The Democrats’ super delegates will decide the Democrat nominee. This, alone, reveals how deeply undemocratic the Party is. It won’t even let its own voters decide on its candidate! Why would it possibly allow us deplorables to pick our president? It certainly explains the enlistment of the media to overturn 2016 and sabotage 2020 for Trump.
The Constitution’s investment of that exclusive [legislative] power in Congress alone deeply rankles the Democrats. It means that law-making is an untidy and lengthy democratic process that requires open debate and invites the public input of voters with the power to oust senators and representatives. Imagine how woefully unsuccessful it would have been for the Left to try to pass a law making abortion legal in all fifty states in 1973. The deplorables of the electorate, those still clinging “to guns or religion,” would have never allowed it. That’s why the Left used the Supreme Court and orchestrated Roe v Wade to do the work of the revolution instead.
Now we see the connection. The triple alliance of the Left-leaning media, the intelligentsia, and the Democratic Party tried to use the House’s power of impeachment against Trump in the same way as the Left in general has continually used the Supreme Court: as a top-down remedy to cancel democratic opposition to their larger and deeper agenda.
Just so.
