Biden wants to convene an international 'Summit for Democracy'. He shouldn't (Barfidy barf barf. Two bits)
The Guardian ^ | 22/12/20 | David Adler, Stephen Wertheim

Democracy is in disrepair. Over the past four years, President Donald Trump has mocked its rules and norms, accelerating the decay of democratic institutions in the United States. We are not alone: a global reckoning is underway, with authoritarian leaders capitalizing on broken promises and failed policies.

To reverse the trend, President-elect Joe Biden has proposed to convene a Summit for Democracy. His campaign presents the summit as an opportunity to “renew the spirit and shared purpose of the nations of the Free World”. With the US placing itself once again “at the head of the table”, other nations can find their seats, and the task of beating back democracy’s adversaries can begin.

But the summit will not succeed. It is at once too blunt and too thin an instrument. Although the summit might serve as a useful forum for coordinating policy on such areas as financial oversight and election security, it is liable to drive US foreign policy even further down a failed course that divides the world into hostile camps, prioritizing confrontation over cooperation.

Does this duo cites any specific examples?

Just another globalist communist azzwipe. He’s more in the Trotsky model and wants to take it global. Just a move the father and slave America to globalist leaders. Leaders that we have no way to access or influence. Like a giant version of the EU.

This is so far away from the intent of our founders that you can no longer call it the American republic. The very antithesis of our republic is to be the head of a global empire, with us at the head of the table, and all the other subservient nations finding their seats. And for all of these governments to be coordinated.

One of the first things they will agree on is destroying the dollar, strip mining American jobs, killing oil and gas, and that we do not need guns.

“Summit for Democracy” sounds very neocon. I guess Kristol and company will have a seat at the table once more.

We won’t be the head, we will just be one of many and our Constitution and natural God Given rights would be a thing of the past.

Not as if he has anything to teach most of the rest of the world how to cheat at elections. They’ve been doing that forever and it’s finally been normalized here.

And then he made the Democrats and their Media conspire to commit massive, targeted vote fraud to steal an election, which totally destroyed the facade of their phony "democracy".

BAD Orange Man!

These poofters at The Guardian offer no evidence to support this, and no one will ask them to.
