    Default DEMOCRATS in the news

    DEMOCRATS have continually painted senators Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D., Ariz.) as the two lone lawmakers who are "obstructing the will of the Senate and the American people".

    Socialist Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) tweeted last month: “2 senators cannot be allowed to defeat what 48 senators and 210 House members want.”

    Meanwhile, Sleepy Joe said at a CNN town hall that with the Senate being evenly divided, “You have 50 DEMOCRATS, every one is a president. Every single one. So, you got to work things out.”

    The “two senators ruining it for everyone” narrative was always a false premise — it is actually 52 senators who oppose the left’s attempted spending spree.

    The initial proposal for the reconciliation bill was estimated to cost $3.5 trillion but has since been reduced to $1.75 trillion.

    The new reconciliation bill framework includes universal preschool, tax credits and investments for clean-energy infrastructure, a one-year extension of the current expanded child tax credit, and a provision allowing Medicare to cover hearing services.

    Several measures were dropped from the new framework, such as free community college, Medicare coverage for vision and dental services, and paid family leave.

    The infrastructure bill calls for $550 billion in new spending over the next five years on railways and public transit, rebuilding the electric power grid, and expanding broadband Internet access.

    Virginia’s hotly contested gubernatorial race is just days away, and with Republican Glenn Youngkin and former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe tied in the polls, the professional left isn’t leaving anything to chance. A McAuliffe defeat is largely considered a bellwether for congressional DEMOCRATS in the 2022 midterms.

    So how do DEMOCRATS plan to ensure a McAuliffe win and a subsequent retention of power in the state and U.S. Senate? By using the same tactic they used in the 2020 national contest: profligate mail-in voting and fake grassroots get-out-the-vote efforts funding by philanthropies and wealthy leftists, a strategy revealed through Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s gift to the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL).

    And it’s a smart strategy. Joe Biden "won" because of vote by mail in 2020, for example; and we know the effect of Zuckerberg’s millions on the 2020 election.

    The Capital Research Center specializes in exposing the activists behind these efforts. Here’s what we’ve discovered about the funding and activists behind them.

    Vote Forward is one of the get-out-the-vote (GOTV) groups swamping Virginians with a letter practically begging them to vote early and often. Here’s a copy:



    Vote Forward is ostensibly nonpartisan—until you look at its original website from 2018, which reads “Flip the House Blue: Send letters to unlikely voters.”

    The failing New York Times praised Vote Forward’s goal of boosting DEMOCRATS just one week before the 2020 election. An old FAQ states that many of its campaigns “typically target low-propensity voters who we believe are likely to vote for Democrats when they do cast a ballot.”

    In 2020, that target was 10 million mail-in votes. To make that happen, Vote Forward sued the U.S. Postal Service, to ensure delivery of completed mail ballots in the 2020 election. The details of their settlement remain secret, but USPS agreed to deliver mail-in ballots in time for Georgia’s January special election, the result of which handed DEMOCRATS control of the U.S. Senate.

    Like many organizations that present themselves as more interested in voting than election outcomes, Vote Forward is part of the left’s machine: A massive web of interconnected GOTV nonprofits commanding tens of millions of dollars, mostly gifted by ultra-wealthy institutions like the Ford, Gates, and Rockefeller Foundations.

    More than $600,000 flowed to Vote Forward from the Hopewell Fund, part of a $731 million “dark money” network run by the consultancy Arabella Advisors in Washington, DC. After studying this network for years, it’s become clear that wherever Arabella is involved, one is sure to find the left’s top operatives as well.

    For example, Vote Forward’s board includes Ezra Reese, a partner at Perkins Coie and its Marc Elias-led spin-off (the Elias Law Group) “focused on electing DEMOCRATS and helping progressives make change”—a fact you won’t find advertised on the “nonpartisan” group’s website. Perkins Coie is the left’s law firm of choice. Elias was general counsel to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and a partisan operative whose past dealings include Soros-funded efforts to abolish voter ID laws.

    In September, there was a new wave of 2 million applications for Virginians to register for absentee ballots in 2021. These applications weren’t sent out by state or local elections officials, but by politically active nonprofits: the Voter Participation Center and Center for Voter Information (collectively “the center”). An internal memo details the spots they planned to cover most aggressively, many of which parallel the DEMOCRAT'S performance in 2020.

    The center explicitly targeted 73 percent of all unregistered voters nationwide, which is why the left-wing strategists at the Democracy Alliance consider their turnout “central to progressive long-term success.”

    The IRS requires all nonprofits be officially nonpartisan in order to be tax exempt. In the center’s case, non-partisanship comes in the shape of a fig leaf—as journalist Sasha Issenberg explains in his 2012 book, The Victory Lab: The Secret Science of Winning Campaigns: “Even though the group was officially nonpartisan, for tax purposes, there was no secret that the goal of all its efforts was to generate new votes for DEMOCRATS”.

    The center sent out 15 million vote-by-mail applications in 2020 and registered 4.6 million new "voters". Time magazine credits the center’s partisan registration efforts as central to the “shadow campaign that saved the 2020 election” for the DEMOCRATS. No surprise that the center is heavily funded by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), AFL-CIO, Sierra Club, League of Conservation Voters, and Tides Foundation.

    Nearly $970,000 paid for “temporary staffing support” to bolster Fairfax County’s elections agency. That may sound innocuous, but that funding supported the infiltration of election offices by paid DEMOCRAT Party activists.

    There’s no faster way to destroy what remaining trust Americans have in their elections than by giving them to the highest bidder. Private funding of elections has taken us back to the worst of the 19th century robber barons, when rich political machines won elections by buying votes. It also presents opportunities for foreign interests to manipulate our politics and undermine American sovereignty.

    Leftists believed the country would overlook their desperate indiscretions, claiming—as CTCL does—that Zuckerberg’s unprecedented spending spree somehow made 2020 “the most secure election in U.S. history.” We’ll know even more in December, when CTCL releases its IRS Form 990 filing to the public. If coming revelations are anything like observers expect, that claim will age about as well as milk.

    A DEMOCRAT Virginia delegate was pulled over by police less than 24 hours before Election Day after a deputy witnessed a woman taking campaign signs and getting into a car the delegate was driving.

    Delegate Chris Hurst was pulled over by police in Radford, Virginia, on Monday evening after a deputy with the Radford Sheriff's office saw a woman taking campaign signs that were on display outside the city recreation center and then getting into a car Hurst was driving, according to Radford Sheriff Mark Armentrout.

    Police found that Hurst was driving the vehicle with a suspended license.

    Indeed. One of the JPP leftists who claims to have me on ignore just started a copycat thread in response to this one.

    Default In lieu of a fair and impartial media we have DEMOCRAT propagandists

    During a presser today with DEMOCRAT leaders on the House DEMOCRAT Policy and Communications Committee including Rep. Ted Lieu, the California Congressman who is also the co-chair of the committee made a rather eye-opening admission/pleat.

    During the presser, Lieu told the reporters in attendance that DEMOCRATS “rely on you” to support their legislative agenda, and implored them to do so on the Build Back Better scam so they would have a better chance of selling it:

    “If you all want to write about this amazing tax cut for families and children that’s really transformative, that would be really helpful.”

    Ted Lieu and the other DEMOCRATS know they’re losing their grip and have now taken to directly imploring the media to step in.
