If America is a democracy why do parasites have to earn it?
In 1960 Don Hewitt (1922 - 2009) of 60 Minutes fame bragged about electing two presidents ——JFK and Bill Clinton. JFK was the first to steal the presidency. JFK was also the first president that got away with the theft because media ignored it.
The stuff Obama got away with makes him the second president’s illegalities media completely ignored.
If Biden does steal the presidency he will be the first president where media actively took part in the theft. You might say that media drove the getaway car.
Now move onto Democrats attempting to con Americans into believing they live in a democracy. That long running conspiracy was a standard Democrat Party talking point decades before our former spiritual leader plugged it. Note that conspiracy and constitution begin with con:

Obama citing the constitution to sell democracy is a perfect example of doublespeak; more so since Obama was surely the first president to actualize Mencken’s prediction:
As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. H.L. Mencken
Should Biden steal the presidency he will prove that moron will be a presidential requirement forever after.
Obviously, the campaign is over; nevertheless, Americans will benefit immensely if they never forget that:

Throughout history democracy has been the parasite’s preferred form of government. Flanders
Since Democrats run for office as though the Constitution permits theft for democracy, I put together some conservative talking points attributed to people who know about such things.
Money is always a good place to start:
Advertising is the very essence of democracy. Anton Chekhov
When the people find they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic. Benjamin Franklin
To take from one, because it is thought that his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, —the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry, & the fruits acquired by it. Thomas Jefferson
The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money. Alexis de Tocqueville
The more I see of democracy the more I dislike it. It just brings everything down to the mere vulgar level of wages and prices, electric light and water closets, and nothing else. David Herbert Lawrence
Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates. Gore Vidal
Cycle of Democracy
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury.
From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising them the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.
The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith;
from spiritual faith to great courage;
from courage to liberty;
from liberty to abundance;
from abundance to selfishness;
from selfishness to apathy;
from apathy to dependence;
from dependency back again into bondage.
Now lets turn to governance itself:
A Democracy is the vilest form of Government there is. Thomas Paine
I do not say that democracy has been more pernicious on the whole, and in the long run, than monarchy or aristocracy. Democracy has never been and never can be so durable as aristocracy or monarchy; but while it lasts, it is more bloody than either.” Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. It is in vain to say that democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious, or less avaricious than aristocracy or monarchy. It is not true, in fact, and nowhere appears in history. Those passions are the same in all men, under all forms of simple government, and when unchecked, produce the same effects of fraud, violence, and cruelty.” John Adams
Democracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy, such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man's life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable cruelty of one or a very few. John Adams, An Essay on Man's Lust for Power, August 29, 1763
Dr. James McHenry “Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy?”
Benjamin Franklin “A Republic, if you can keep it.”
Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos. John Marshall
We are a Republican Government, Real liberty is never found in despotism or in the extremes of democracy...it has been observed that a pure democracy if it were practicable would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved that no position is more false than this. The ancient democracies in which the people themselves deliberated never possessed one good feature of government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity. Alexander Hamilton
In tracing these evils to their origin every man had found it in the turbulence and follies of democracy; that some check, therefore, was to be sought for against this tendency of our governments, and that a good Senate seemed most likely to answer the purpose. Edmund Randolph ----- Debates in the Federal Convention of 1787
Our country's founders cherished liberty, not democracy. Ron Paul
The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy you vote first and take orders later; in a dictatorship you don't have to waste your time voting. Charles Bukowski
Democracy, then, in the centralizing, pattern-making, absolutist shape which we have given to it is, it is clear, the time of tyranny's incubation. Bertrand de Jouvenel
Democracy means the opportunity to be everyone's slave. Karl Kraus
Democracy is supposed to give you the feeling of choice, like Painkiller X and Painkiller Y. But they're both just aspirin. Gore Vidal
Democracy is being allowed to vote for the candidate you dislike least. Robert Byrne
On account of being a democracy and run by the people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years, no matter what it does. Will Rogers
Democracy is like a streetcar. You ride it until you arrive at your destination and then you step off. Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. H. L. Mencken
Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance. H. L. Mencken
Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage. H. L. Mencken
Democracy is also a form of worship. It is the worship of Jackals by Jackasses. H. L. Mencken
Democracy is only a dream: it should be put in the same category as Arcadia, Santa Claus, and Heaven. H. L. Mencken
Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people. Oscar Wilde
An ideal form of government is democracy tempered with assassination. Voltaire
Democracy gives every man the right to be his own oppressor. James Russell Lowell
It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it; consequently, the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using the word if it were tied down to any one meaning. George Orwell
Dictatorship naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme liberty. Plato
Democracy passes into despotism. Plato
Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers. Aristotle
Democracy arose from men's thinking that if they are equal in any respect, they are equal absolutely. Aristotle
Democracy is the road to socialism. Karl Marx
More socialism means more democracy, openness and collectivism in everyday life. Mikhail Gorbachev
The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter. Winston Churchill
The whole dream of democracy is to raise the proletariat to the level of stupidity attained by the bourgeoisie. Gustave Flaubert
Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude. Alexis de Tocqueville
Society will develop a new kind of servitude which covers the surface of society with a network of complicated rules, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate. It does not tyrannize but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, til each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. Alexis de Tocqueville
In a democracy people get the leaders they deserve. Misattributed to Joseph de Maistre
You can never have a revolution in order to establish a democracy. You must have a democracy in order to have a revolution. G. K. Chesterton
Finally, democracy and the Democrat Party are Siamese Twins linked together for all times:
There’s no great mystery about the motives behind this deliberate misnaming. 'Democrat Party' is a slur, or intended to be—a handy way to express contempt. Aesthetic judgments are subjective, of course, but 'Democrat Party' is jarring verging on ugly. It fairly screams 'rat'.

I’m in Philadelphia, where our Constitution was drafted and signed. It wasn’t a perfect document. It allowed for the inhumanity of slavery and failed to guarantee women — and even men who didn’t own property — the right to participate in the political process. But embedded in this document was a North Star that would guide future generations; a system of representative government — a democracy — through which we could better realize our highest ideals. Through civil war and bitter struggles, we improved this Constitution to include the voices of those who’d once been left out. And gradually, we made this country more just, more equal and more free.

Regardless of how democracy starts out it ends in tyrannical government. To be precise, democracy is always going towards something worse; never towards liberty guarded by property Rights.
