The Republican National Committee, RNC, has now officially endorsed Donald Trump, as their candidate for the office of President, in 2024. Trump, in turn, chose J.D. Vance as his ‘’running mate’’, the candidate for Vice President. Vance is a Senator from the state of Ohio, considered to be a ‘’swing state’’.
It is anticipated that on August 19, the Democratic National Committee, DNC, will officially endorse Kamala Harris, as their candidate, for the office of President, in 2024. It is further anticipated that, even before the official endorsement, Harris will choose a suitable ‘’running mate’’, as the candidate for Vice President. Various officials have been mentioned, with the field narrowed down to three, from the states of Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Arizona. It is not by chance that all three candidates are from states that are considered to be ‘’swing states’’.
In the stilted political jargon, a ‘’swing state’’ is ‘’any state that could reasonably be won by either the Democratic or Republican candidate for President’’.
It stands to reason that the choice of a ‘’running mate’’, from such a state, makes it far more likely for the candidate for President, to win that state.
Now the mainstream press is conducting a ‘’countdown’’, the days remaining until the ‘’Presidential Election’’ of November 5. As well, they are also keeping track of the money being donated to the two ‘’Presidential Campaigns’’. This money is being measured in ‘’hundreds of millions’’!
Each ‘’Campaign’’ is anticipated to cost several billion dollars!
This will culminate on the day voters ‘’go to the polls’’, of course on November 5, to vote for their candidate for the office of President. Not that American voters get to directly vote for their candidate for the President. Indeed not. It is not that simple. Under the complicated ‘’electoral system’’, the candidate, of one of the two Parties, Republican or Democratic, either Trump or Harris, who wins the majority of votes, in a particular state, will in turn receive all of the Electoral votes, of that state!
It is reasonable to assume that, shortly after all the votes are counted, probably late in the day of November 5, the bourgeois journalists will be able to announce the next ‘’President Elect of the United States’’.
The voting of the Electors, who are appointed by the States, as well as the District of Columbia, is a mere ”formality”, to take place ‘’on or before January 3’’. Or at least, that is the plan.
There is just one little problem. That which they have planned, all of the aforementioned, is completely Unconstitutional! It is in direct violation of the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution!
Even though I have reproduced it before, it is of vital importance, so I have chosen to do so again:
Twelfth Amendment
The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;–the President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;–The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. [And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.–]The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
By law, Constitutional law, there is no ‘’presidential election’’! There is only a federal election! It is the Electors, and only the Electors, who are appointed by the States, and only by the States, who get to vote for the individual of their choice, for the office of President. As well, those same Electors get to vote, on a separate ballot, for the individual of their choice, for the office of Vice President. The states have no right to meddle in a federal election!
Further, the Twelfth Amendment makes no mention of any political party! Nor is there any mention of any ‘’popular vote’’! The scheduled November 5 vote is meaningless! For that reason, there is no ‘’President Elect’’! In fact, by Constitutional Law, the American voters are excluded from any federal election!
As for those who may object that this is hardly democratic, I can only respond this is the law! Constitutional Law! Further, all elected federal officials have taken an oath, to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution!
Hold those federal officials accountable! Demand that they honour their oath! Demand that the 2024 federal election follow the procedure laid out in the Twelfth Amendment! Also demand that both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris be removed from office immediately! Both came to office by means of a fraudulent election!
As for those who may suggest that I am being ridiculous, I can only respond that you are correct. The federal officials are not about to perform their duty! That would never occur to them! The very thought would never cross their minds! Such heresy!
As I have mentioned in various previous articles, my focus is on the ‘’common people’’, and in particular the working class, the proletariat. That is the class which ‘’holds the future in its hands’’. It is just not aware of this, or at least, not as yet.
In the interests of raising the level of awareness of the proletariat, it is necessary to expose the monopoly capitalist class, the multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie. That is the class of people in charge. They are running the country. In fact, they are running the country right into the ground! Yet so many working people still believe their lies.
Those same working people pay strict attention to the news, at least as presented by the mainstream press. As well, countless workers are now quite cultured, in possession of various digital devices, so that they have access to the ‘’Leftist’’ press. All the press is now focused on the ‘’Presidential election’’, and the two ‘’running mates’’, for the Presidency. For that reason, we can use this to our advantage.
All ‘’conscious people’’, those who are aware of the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin, must become active. It is your duty! The level of awareness of the proletariat must be raised. They, or at least the most advanced workers, must become class conscious. The working class, the proletariat, must become aware of themselves as a class, with their own class interests. They must be made aware of those same revolutionary theories. They must be prepared for Scientific Socialism. This can happen only through overthrowing the bourgeoisie, smashing the existing state apparatus, and replacing it with a new state apparatus, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.
Middle class attorneys, preferably experts in Constitutional law, must challenge both federal elections, that of 2020 and 2024. Every effort must be made to remove both Biden and Harris from office. As well, the 2024 federal election must follow the procedure laid out in the Twelfth Amendment. These are the arguments which must be made in federal court, preferably the Supreme Court.
Such a court challenge will be closely monitored by the press, both mainstream and Leftist. The working people will be sure to follow all developments, and in the process, receive a valuable education.
There are various other suggestions I have made, in previous articles, concerning the manner in which we can assist the working class, or at least the most advanced members of the proletariat, in becoming true Marxists, Communists. Much as I tire of repeating this, perhaps a brief summary is appropriate.
Flood social media with Leftist literature. Join the two mainstream political parties, as ‘’card carrying members’’. Take part in marches and demonstrations, as Communists, carrying signs with class content. Unite the various Councils- Soviets- which have spontaneously taken shape. Encourage ‘’celebrities’’, especially ‘’Hollywood Movie Stars’’ to become active. Their fans pay strict attention to anything they say!
There is an urgent need for a true Communist Party, one which calls for the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Middle class intellectuals, in cooperation with the most advanced, ’’internationalist workers’’, can take part in that creation.
Encourage all workers to read the Essential Works of Marx and Lenin. The importance of State and Revolution, must be stressed. The Revolution could break out at any moment. It is best to be prepared!
That which the press, rather politely refers to as ‘’popular uprisings’’, and is in fact revolutionary motion, is taking place in various parts of the world. These include the West European countries of France, Britain and Germany, among others.
There are also revolutionary uprisings in South America, in the country of Venezuela. In South Asia, the country of Bangladesh is ‘’seething’’. In West Africa, Nigeria is ‘’in turmoil’’.
Bear in mind that these ‘’revolutionary motions’’, these ‘’mass movements’’, tend to spread, to other countries. It is not just in North America that a Revolution is about to take place!
It was Lenin who foresaw a ‘’World Socialist Republic’’. Sadly, he was murdered, so that he never lived to see that day. We can only honour his memory by taking his advice, ’’following in his footsteps’’, carrying out the policies, that he was able to only outline.
In this way, the younger generation will live to see a world without classes, a world without capitalists fighting to re-divide the world. A world of working people living together in peace. A world of Communism.
That is a goal upon which we can all unite.
