I just want to say that it is the opposite of Democracy when a secret cabal of wealthy and politically connected elites conspire to manipulate the rules and laws of an election in order to win

The secret history of the shadow campaign that saved the 2020 election

There was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protests and coordinated the resistance from CEOs. Both surprises were the result of an informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans. The pact was formalized in a terse, little-noticed joint statement of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and AFL-CIO published on Election Day. Both sides would come to see it as a sort of implicit bargain–inspired by the summer’s massive, sometimes destructive racial-justice protests–in which the forces of labor came together with the forces of capital to keep the peace and oppose Trump’s assault on democracy.
The handshake between business and labor was just one component of a vast, cross-partisan campaign to protect the election–an extraordinary shadow effort dedicated not to winning the vote but to ensuring it would be free and fair, credible and uncorrupted. For more than a year, a loosely organized coalition of operatives scrambled to shore up America’s institutions as they came under simultaneous attack from a remorseless pandemic and an autocratically inclined President. Though much of this activity took place on the left, it was separate from the Biden campaign and crossed ideological lines, with crucial contributions by nonpartisan and conservative actors. The scenario the shadow campaigners were desperate to stop was not a Trump victory. It was an election so calamitous that no result could be discerned at all, a failure of the central act of democratic self-governance that has been a hallmark of America since its founding.
Their work touched every aspect of the election. They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding. They fended off voter-suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time. They successfully pressured social media companies to take a harder line against disinformation and used data-driven strategies to fight viral smears. They executed national public-awareness campaigns that helped Americans understand how the vote count would unfold over days or weeks, preventing Trump’s conspiracy theories and false claims of victory from getting more traction. After Election Day, they monitored every pressure point to ensure that Trump could not overturn the result. “The untold story of the election is the thousands of people of both parties who accomplished the triumph of American democracy at its very foundation,” says Norm Eisen, a prominent lawyer and former Obama Administration official who recruited Republicans and Democrats to the board of the Voter Protection Program.

They can’t help but brag about it.
And it’s a giant middle finger to Trump.

You had to know that at some point they would feel comfortable enough to gloat. I believe this is just the first of many more admissions.

The crazy part is that Time thinks this is a perfectly rational, reasonable, heroic article.

It was rigged , no way this bumbling 80year old moron got the most votes in our history at 80million . Trump got the 80 million votes and won 2500 counties in the US, compared to the fake president who won 477 counties . It was RIGGED , Trump won and won by a lot .

Voter Suppression= Trying to prevent election fraud
Return to Democracy- Denying freedom of speech or any investigations into voter fraud
Conspiracy Theory- Any claim from the right, whereas 4 years of bogus Russian claims are not

They will keep pushing until things break... they want it to break, they want people accepting things they would not otherwise accept in the name of safety and security...

That's frickin rich coming from partisans who love their dim governors' lockdowns, masking mandate and their puppet Presidement who is legislating exclusively through EOs

Change the word "Saved" to "Stole" and everything in that article is correct. Biden told us the election was set up to be stolen: they did it and now they gloat about it.

The Chamber of Commerce is a cancer.

I'm surprised Time didn't name them Cabal of the Year.

It's not even that. They're overtly bragging about something that if Trump even attempted such a thing, they'd call for a military takeover. They're not telling "their version", they're telling the actual version that is far and away more nefarious than anything Trump ever did. They got major multinational corporations to team up with unions and government officials to orchestrate voting scheme to rig the entire system towards the democrats and they did it on the fly while circumventing every legislative process. If that doesn't concern everyone, we've got a major problem.

Labor union leaders kill jobs for their Midwest workers to garner more payoffs for themselves.

Clearly written from the "this is a great thing!" perspective.
Unlike all the other unsupported claims about how the election was rigged this one rings true. And perfectly legal.
