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.

She doesn't have any policies................
At least half the country doesn’t care what her policies are. And neither do the vote counters/creaters.
It works. Americans want royalty, not elected officials. Queen Kamala only needs to not slip into dementia like Joe, and she’ll be fine.
A large segment of the public thinks a vagina is what is needed to be president.
Uh huh! Lower food prices on day one. Oh and make middle income workers solvent again and........SMDH!
“That’s pretty easy.
She doesn’t have any policies”
If she wins she will implement Obama’s policies just like Joe did. Liberals have hidden their real policies for decades in order to get elected.
What are the Traitorcrats going to do then? Stop selling copies of Mein Kampf and Mao's Little Red Book?!?
But she has “values”, ad they haven’t changed.
“we have to pass it to find out what’s in it” works for turds too. especially when no one knows what you ate.
If she doesn’t try to promote her policies than Trump will simply assign her policies to her. She will be on the defensive denying unpopular policies. Unless she declares her policies people will believe what Trump says...
Her policies are
No Trump
Abortion
I’m a democrat
Her real policies are communism. Dictator ship. She’s a puppet
Everyone is aware of all of this
Everyone is aware she must keep this on the down low for no real reason

Yes, the Democrats have a lot to show, but then they should considering that they are spending at the federal level alone about $16,000/year/American resident.
Families of four should look around to try to find $64,000 of value added in the last year. But don’t waste too much of your time.
Vote Republican and we’ll make federal dollars far more productive.

Someone make a meme out of it.
“The Small Business Administration is nearly halfway to its goal of providing $250 billion in financing to 500,000 small businesses by 2030. For example, to get mom-and-pop businesses the small loans, under $150,000, that are often hard to secure, the SBA has brought in additional non-traditional lenders that specialize in working with underserved small businesses. It’s now on track to double these loans by year’s end, compared to 2020. The Administration is also directing billions of dollars to community lenders and state-level small-business programs.”

The approach may be denying the policies and declaring Trump to be a liar and a racist, but not saying what her policies actually are. Not that she has any...
” We also raised the minimum wage for federal contractors to $17.20 an hour, and will keep pushing Congress to increase it to at least $15 for all Americans. We’re making millions more hourly workers eligible for overtime pay; and we’ve cracked down on wage theft and exploitation, recovering over $750 million for low-wage workers wrongly denied pay. We’re making it harder for employers to misclassify workers as independent contractors to avoid paying them full pay and benefits. We’re banning most non-compete agreements, freeing workers to move between jobs and negotiate. And we’ve restricted mandatory arbitration, so fewer employers can silence wronged employees in a workplace dispute.”

AKA, The MAFIA..................
I don’t believe the voters who decide elections vote on policy.
Trump won in 2016 because he was more likeable than Crooked Hillary.
He won for the same reason in 2020.
Jethro Bodine Bush was more likeable than the wooden one Al Gore and Frenchy Kerry.
I voted for two losers named McCain and Romney.
The fact was Barry was more likeable than either of those backstabbing uniparty hacks.
Kamala is just not likeable and I believe she chose a running mate who might be less likeable than her.
“Democrats will keep fighting to pass the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, to give everyone the right to organize for better pay, benefits, and working conditions, and to hold abusive bosses accountable for violating workers’ rights. We oppose state right-to-work laws, which drive down wages and leave workers unsafe; and we support penalizing employers who engage in union busting. We’ll work to pass the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act, guaranteeing public sector bargaining rights; and to codify a right to organize for domestic workers, farm workers, and other unprotected laborers.”
Democratic Party platform
“The American Rescue Plan supported more than 4,300 state- and local-government workforce development programs; while our Investing in American agenda is expanding job-training partnerships between high schools, community colleges, unions, and employers. We have a million trainees enrolled in registered apprenticeships today.”

It’s sad that people vote for somebody just based on “likeability”. This ain’t a vote for Prom Queen.
