The Real Purpose Behind Your Vote
Earlier this month, I presented the argument that elections are about something other than voting for the best candidates. Instead, they are about voting for the better candidates. I stand by that statement. This reality can be phrased another way – and needs to be – for those who have been emotionally captured and held hostage by the propaganda merchants of the mainstream and social media complex, the narrative producers.
Yes, elections are about choosing the better candidates, but more importantly, they are about preventing the worse candidates from taking office. Your vote is a crucial tool in this latter notion, especially in the current “personality contest climate” created by the narrative producers to affect the outcome of the 2024 General Election.
As I stated in the article, It’s Not About The ‘Best Candidate':
“In a majority two-party system, the outcomes of political contests are effectively determined by divining which candidate – or candidates – are better or worse than others on both general and specific issues…
“And because it is always about the better candidate and not about the best candidate, the political decision-making process of the American electorate – if the electorate seeks to be wise in the stewardship of our Republic – must center on policies and platforms, not personalities.
“When the voting public allows the mainstream media and the political campaigns to make an election about personalities – when we are manipulated into seeing only the personalities of the candidates – the importance of a candidate’s policies, past performance, and qualifications for office are cast into the shadows. The election is turned into a popularity contest in which the questions of who the ‘mean girls’ support, which candidate uses the anointed catchphrases, and which party is ‘on the right side of history’ – again, all points based on the subjectivity of the ones defining the terms – become the rubrics.”
Divining The Worse & More Dangerous Candidate
Usually, divining the worse candidates would be an easy task. The candidates would be out on the campaign trail crafting and refining their positions in the lead-up to their nominating conventions, where they would codify their platforms, the party delegates would vote on them, and the candidates would be selected by nomination and then a vote.
This election cycle, thanks to a Democrat National Committee that employed a politburo-style installation of their candidates rather than an open and honest nomination process, the American public – along with the Democrat rank-and-file voters – were denied any opportunity to understand what it is that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz stand for. All we have to go on is their records, which are being distorted, massaged, embellished, and rewritten by the narrative producers and aggressively shopped to the gullible among us; that all-important (much to the detriment of our Republic) uninformed, unaware, and undecided voters.
These voters are the ones who ignore politics but for the few months before an election, if that. And it’s not that they are bad people. They are just too consumed with their lives to have understood the importance of carving out time – even if it is just weekly – to consume accurate, first-source information about what is going on in our government and with our political parties, opting instead for the “easy access” propaganda that our mainstream and social media complex narrative producers have come to produce.
It’s easier to consume the factless, feel-good, marketed bubblegum-for-the-mind that CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the alphabet opinion-news organizations produce than to sit down and read summary texts of legislative proposals from places like GovTrack.us or Congress.gov, and to examine the official pages of any given candidate.
Now add a deliberate attempt by a political campaign and party to purposely withhold information about a candidate and that candidate’s platform, to manipulate the ugly truth about that candidate’s past, and to employ a full slate of disingenuous propaganda – including previously debunked accusations – against their opponent. It is easy to see why the maleficent can easily mislead the undecided, uninformed, and unaware voter demographic.
Today’s Maleficent Political Actors
If you are blessed enough to be able to take off the Kool-Aid goggles of today’s force-fed propaganda, it is also easy to see that the maleficent actors in the 2024 General Election campaign cycle consist of the whole of the mainstream media, the faux “fact checkers” and censorship overlords of social media, and those who are actively attempting to hide and manipulate the truth about Kamala Harris and Tim Walz; the Democrat Party’s candidates for the presidency and vice presidency.
Why else would they:
Tolerate a complete lack of engagement with the media?
Work harder at employing a donation platform on the campaign’s official website than producing a page laying out their platform and policies?
Work to keep any alternative candidates (Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West, etc.) off ballots in critical swing states?
Rely on surrogates to introduce and define their candidates?
The obvious answer is this: They know they have presented candidates who, when honestly juxtaposed to their opponents, are the worse candidates for our Republic, and they are doing everything they can to hide that fact from the electorate, especially the undecided voters…at least for the next ten weeks.
And don’t forget that this time span is drastically decreased when you understand that early voting starts on September 8th in many locations.
Our Duty To Our Republic
As citizens of the United States, we have a duty to protect our Republic and our Constitution from those seeking to destroy, transform, and otherwise divert them from the ideas of opportunity, liberty, justice, and freedom for all.
And while the maleficent are questing to hide the policies and platform of the Harris-Walz Campaign from the American people – for just another few weeks, what has been inadvertently disclosed evidences a horror show of policies steeped in Marxist ideology and more appropriate for a campaign vying for the highest offices of Venezuela, Cuba, and communist China.
Comparatively, I offer up the words of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who has openly confessed to his new understanding of today’s Democrat Party as one of censorship, lockdowns, and medical coercion. On Sunday, Kennedy took to the social media platform X to state:
“The phrase [MAGA] has troubled liberals who think it is a call for a return to an America before civil rights, gay rights, and women's rights. But I have a more generous interpretation, one that is truer to my experience of Donald Trump as he is today. "Make America Great Again" recalls a nation brimming with vitality, with a can-do spirit, with hope and a belief in itself. It was an America that was beginning to confront its darker shadows, could acknowledge the injustice in its past and present, yet at the same time could celebrate its successes. It was a nation of broad prosperity, the world's most vibrant middle class, and a idealistic belief (though not consistently applied) in freedom, justice, and democracy. It was a nation that led the world in innovation, productivity, and technology. And it was the healthiest country in the world. I have talked to many Trump supporters. I have talked with his inner circle. I have talked to the man himself. This is the America they want to restore.”
You may have your issues with Donald Trump, personally (I have a few), but Kennedy is not wrong about Trump’s motives and agenda.
And when you compare that truth with the deception and avoidance of truth by the Harris-Walz campaign and the Democrat Party hierarchy, it doesn’t take a political wonk – or even someone remotely up to speed on the political realities of the day – to divine which ballot choice is the worse choice for our nation, for the world, for our people, and for our families.
This is why former Democrats – including Kennedy, Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, and others – actively support Donald Trump over Kamala Harris: to keep Harris, the worse candidate, from the Oval Office.
