Political Parties
Democrats! Don’t tell me how to vote! As a legal US citizen, I know the rights afforded to me by the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, and Federal and State laws! Political parties are private organizations created out of thin air by power-hungry ego-maniacs to manipulate weak-minded Black Americans into voting for their Democratic ticket. It is extremely important to understand that political parties do not derive their authority from the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, or any specific Federal Law!
When it comes to voting, political parties are of no concern to me! I don’t owe them S-H-I-T!!! States administer elections, and the only time I need to identify as a Democrat or Republican is if I desire to participate in a Primary election. And that action is only an administrative procedure. I do not have to pledge allegiance to a political party, in order to vote for their candidate. As a “registered” Democrat, I have voted more than once for a Republican candidate!

As a legal US citizen, I require permission from NO ONE regarding who I am going to vote for! In addition, I am not required to provide my reasoning or an explanation to ANYONE regarding my choice of candidate! Due to Freedom of Speech rights, people on CNN, MSNBC, ABC and shows like The View are free to say “Black Americans! You have to vote the Democratic ticket!”. It is important to remember that Freedom of Speech rights, also allow you to 100% IGNORE what these people say! I suggest your response be one of action and you vote for your best interests based on the priorities of YOUR LIFE determined by you and not by some television news network.

Influence on Worldview
My personal nature is such that I am a grown man with some measure of accomplishment and achievement, so don’t dare think you can tell me what to do or think! When it comes to electing public officials, I and I alone set the criteria for who, what and why I will vote for. The issues that the mainstream media tout as paramount, mean very little to me!
My view on the “Reproductive Rights” issue is that it pushed because it is highly effective in pushing the buttons of highly emotional women! I am a man of high self-control and self-discipline, and like most men, I operate in the arena of logic and reason, and so I cannot be controlled by my emotions!
When I realize the BILLIONS that are spent on presidential campaigns just for my vote tells me how POWERFUL my vote is! So, I go out of my way, to make the best use of that power that I can! As a former military man, I think in terms of strategy and tactics!
I vote to achieve a desired goal and to effect change! I do not stay home and withhold my vote for the so-called “Moral Victory”! That is a waste of precious power! I absolutely am not above voting against one party just to apply “gut punch” punishment to that political party! I have done it before and I reserve the right to do it again! It’s my vote and I will use it as I see fit!

Political Parties
Sent by you: In the US, do political parties get their authority from the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution or Federal Law? If not, where?
Sent by ChatGPT:
In the United States, political parties do not derive their authority from the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, or any specific Federal Law. Instead, political parties are private organizations that have evolved over time through the political and electoral process. Their authority and role in the political system come from tradition, state laws, and the electoral system rather than from any formal constitutional or legal recognition at the federal level.
Here’s a breakdown of the relationship to each document:
- The Declaration of Independence: This document is a statement of principles about human rights and government legitimacy, but it does not establish any framework for political parties or electoral processes.
- The Constitution: The U.S. Constitution does not mention political parties. In fact, the Founding Fathers were largely opposed to the idea of political parties (which they referred to as “factions”). However, political parties developed early in U.S. history as a way for like-minded people to organize around common policy goals and to contest elections. While the Constitution provides the framework for government and elections, it does not recognize political parties or give them any specific authority.
- Federal Law: While federal law regulates some aspects of party activity (such as campaign finance laws), it does not grant authority for the creation or existence of political parties. Laws like the Federal Election Campaign Act and Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act primarily govern how parties can raise and spend money, but they do not confer constitutional authority to the parties themselves.
So where do political parties get their authority?
- State Laws: Political parties are mainly governed by state laws. These laws set the rules for how parties are recognized, how they can place candidates on the ballot, and how they conduct primaries or caucuses. For example, states decide the criteria for ballot access and often regulate the internal workings of parties, such as how they nominate candidates or select party leaders.
- Historical Precedent and Tradition: The two-party system, in particular, has developed over time due to historical precedent and the structure of the U.S. electoral system, which tends to favor two dominant parties due to the first-past-the-post voting system (where the candidate with the most votes wins, even without a majority). Over time, the Democratic and Republican parties have become institutionalized as the main political parties, even without formal constitutional recognition.
In Summary:
Political parties are not granted authority by the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, or federal law, but rather have developed through political custom, state-level regulations, and the nature of the electoral system.
