It never ceases to amaze this writer how undemocratic the “Democratic” party can be.
Just a month ago, party leaders unceremoniously replaced their nominee with Vice President Kamala Harris, who hadn’t won a single primary vote.
Working alongside Big Tech censors and powerful corporate media outlets, Democrat elites have conspired to silence speech that won’t help Harris win the forthcoming presidential election.
Bluntly put, the Democrats want to keep Americans in the dark.
There’s perhaps no better evidence of this than recent reports that multiple members of the party are urging Harris not to share a policy platform.
That’s right: the Democrats don’t want potential Harris voters to know anything about their candidate’s policy prescriptions before voting her into office.
Many in the party feel that if Harris focuses on “character” over policy, her chances will improve dramatically.
Doing so will certainly lock up Never Trumpers and sufferers of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
In other words, they hope that voters’ hate for Trump will be a stronger motivator than any of the economic or social issues that Harris and President Joe Biden are actively losing on.
“I actually think the way the American people think about this choice is less about the minutiae of policy and more about the direction of the country, number one, and secondly, about the person. Character it does matter,” Michigan Rep. Dan Kildee told CNN.
He added: “If it turns on character, this election is over. That’s what people are looking for.”
Other Democrats all but admitted to CNN that a defining of Harris’s policies would actually hurt her.
“She doesn’t need to negotiate against herself. You know, we’ve got the biggest possible tent right now,” New Hampshire Rep. Annie Kuster said.
“I don’t think there’s a real, strong reason for her to try and weed out any points of view right now,” she continued.
Per The Hill, Harris doesn’t have an official policy page on her website and likely won’t be adding one anytime soon.
In total and complete fairness, Harris did finally come out of hiding for a smidge on Thursday. (On an exceptionally friendly network. With her running mate in tow.)
Though, in truth, her interview with CNN — Harris’s first since becoming the de facto party leader — left more questions than answers.
The far-from-unbiased Dana Bash refused to press Harris on key questions.
What’s more, she brought along her fellow far-left running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, to help cover for her lack of rhetorical skill.
Because her policies have remained largely hidden, Harris has maintained strong support based on “vibes” and feelings — not exactly the stuff of sound, itemized policy.
Many independent and swing voters who dreaded having to choose between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump see Harris as a way out.
They think she’ll bring a bit of normalcy and calm back into the White House.
In reality, Harris might actually be the most radical candidate that could’ve possibly been chosen.
Unless those independent voters wake up fast, they’ll be in for one heck of a surprise next year if and when Harris begins decimating the economy with her radical policies.
And they won’t even realize it until it’s too late — especially if Team Harris can successfully keep people in the dark.

Harris has no clue what policies are
I don’t understand your point.
yes. the D’s will stop selling copies of Mein Kamph and the Communist Manifesto. They’ll start giving them away for “free” (using our tax money to do it, of course).
She won’t actually win, but will still be installed as the historic first female president. What an insult to women! Somehow, they will vote for her still.
She will either duck the debate or fail so miserably that the race will effectively be over at that point.............
It kinda worked for Nixon (though i think it wouldn’t have mattered)He a secret plan to end the Vietnam war.
Piglosi: “You have to pass the bill to see what’s inside it...”
Heels-Up Harris: “You have to elect me, to find out what my policies will be...”
Fascists are continuously practicing fascism/communism.
She's been pushing her expedient fake agenda -- reparations, tax cut, fracking, threatening Israel -- and should keep doing that. :^)
The Harris election is a test of “Obama’s theory” of political power:
<><>that Democrats can toss aside its “party of the people” crutch
<><>Democrats no longer need “working class” American votes,
<><>Obama figures they win with a coalition of “identity groups,”
<><>enviros, gays, pro-aborts, plus his new voting bloc of illegal aliens
<><>all financed by Hollywood and billionaire super-pacs
<><>aided and abetted by the old reliable Dem Voter Fraud Machine.
(Thapsus_epiphany’s great points.)
Nobody cares about policies. Both will kill babies. How high the parts mound is really does not matter after 500,000.
“she will remain committed to her values”
It's not as crazy as it sounds. They're running on the strength of an organized media hate campaign that has been ongoing since 2015. It may be all they have, but it's considerable.
Hate, it’s all they have................
She changed her mind on gun control. Sure she did. She will appoint a bunch of Ketanji judges who will turn the place into South Africa.
Harris is just a replay of Obama Biden the party never changes it’s tune they just keep adding sugar on it.
That happens right after her entire staff quits.
