“1 I have a message from God in my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:[b] There is no fear of God before their eyes. 2 In their own eyes they flatter themselves too much to detect or hate their sin. 3 The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful; they fail to act wisely or do good. 4 Even on their beds they plot evil; they commit themselves to a sinful course and do not reject what is wrong." King David said this in Psalm 36:1-4 New International Version.
Nancy Pelosi commented on March 7, 2024, approximately two months before the presidential primary elections, ““America is truly blessed by the wisdom, experience and steady hand of President Joe Biden. In partnership with Democrats in Congress, let us charge forward toward President Biden’s beautiful vision for a brighter future For The People.”” https://pelosi.house.gov/news/press-releases/pelosi-statement-president-bidens-state-union-address
On March 7, 2024 Chuck Schumer said ““Tonight, President Biden showed the American People that the state of our union - and his leadership - is strong and only getting stronger with each passing day as we build back from the COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks to the leadership of President Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress, we have a stronger economy, more jobs, a proven record of accomplishments, and a brighter future for America and have good reason to hope that our country’s best days still lie ahead.” https://www.democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/03/07/2024/majority-leader-schumer-floor-remarks-on-senate-approval-of-extension-of-faa-reauthorization-and-commitment-to-passing-long-term-reauthorization

Hakeem Jefferies stated on March 7, 2024 “Tonight, President Biden delivered a powerful message of unity and a clear vision for the future. Over the last three years, we have made incredible progress, emerging from the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic as the strongest economy in the world. President Biden has a plan to build upon the progress that has been made and finish the job for the American people.
President Biden and Democrats will move the country forward and grow the middle class. The twice-impeached former president and extreme MAGA Republicans are trying to turn back the clock.” https://democraticleader.house.gov/media/press-releases/leader-jeffries-statement-president-bidens-state-union-address-0

And so, the reporting from more and more news media declared Joe Biden had clinched the Democratic nomination. It was won by votes cast by United States citizens. And now he is not running. How does that make your vote count, your voice count? To heck with the Twenty-fourth Amendment. The Democratic National Convention pitches the Constitution. After all these years let’s just discard the law of the land. Democrats inferring “you don’t count.” Is that what you want for your country?
You voted, you let your voice be heard. Now it doesn’t matter?
The election should go forth with the candidates that won the nominations by citizen votes.
If they say Biden isn’t capable, they should have said so prior to the primaries. So, you had an honest picture of who you were voting for. The best thing, in my view, is to follow the Constitution, acknowledge your vote, Biden’s victory. Move forward with the campaign and November election. Then let everything else play out.
Did you contribute money to Biden’s campaign? If you did, do you want the Democrats stealing that money to gain their agenda? Do you want unknown people stealing control of your government? They supported Biden in the primaries. Then they not only put pressure on him to withdraw but withdrew funding. Some of that funding is not just from lobbyists, corporations, and government officials with visions of grandeur and power, but from everyday people like you and me.
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/preamble/
We the people are the government, not corporations, not people set on gaining power for their own advantage. We the people must make our voices heard, and not have our liberties stolen from us.
