The two parties understand "voting" and "elections" very differently. As soon as David Boies pled "voter intent" to overcome mere arithmetical counting of votes as the thing that conferred legitimacy, the America that existed before was over.
The current Democrat position is the same as the French revolutionaries, which is that voting is merely one of a number of popular demonstrations to support the General Will, which is superior to all popular demonstrations, INCLUDING VOTING.
This logic was further developed in Lenin's 1902 work What is to be done?, which was basically plagiarized 102 years later by Thomas Frank in What's the Matter With Kansas?.
What it all amounts to is that, since the working class is suffering from False Consciousness, that when the Left wins elections, false consciousness has been overcome, but when they lose, the result is invalid because mere arithmetical counting of votes cannot truly reflect the will, or the intent, of the majority.
This is what we are dealing with now. The bureaucracy, the Deep State, the Permanent Government, whatever you want to call it, is no longer able to be turned out by voting, because they do not accept an adverse result and have the will and the means to resist.
They have the power and the intent to prevent our winning, so if we are to prevail, it will have to be by means other than elections.
This is what I was talking about last night. Where do we go from here?
