Kamala Harris will struggle to replicate Joe Biden's 2020 election strategy in 2024 due to her inability to project a moderate image and her radical political history.
Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election through a successful tripartite subterfuge.
One, Biden never really campaigned. His handlers rightly assumed that the more the public and the media saw a debilitated Biden in the flesh, the less they would want him as president.
So, the Biden campaign used the COVID lockdowns to ensure that Biden stayed safe in his basement office.
Biden strategically distanced himself from disinterested journalists, using COVID as an excuse to avoid public appearances. It allowed him to run a 19th-century, front-porch sort of virtual campaign.
In his place, the liberal media, Democratic grandees, and the billionaire donor class served as Biden campaign surrogates—vastly outspending, out-advertising, and out-lawyering the underfunded incumbent Trump.
Second, again using COVID as a pretext, well-funded Democratic legal teams altered the voting laws during early 2020 in key swing states to encourage non-Election Day voting.
For the first time, majorities in many key states voted by mail-in/absentee ballots and during weeks of early voting.
We now know why the left was so motivated to push through radical balloting changes that were otherwise impossible prior to 2020 but have been mostly institutionalized since.
Non-Election Day ballots outnumbered Election Day ballots. They were far more likely to be cast by Democrats. And as the number of such ballots soared, the traditional rejection rate of non-Election Day ballots prior to 2020 fell—even as registrars were swamped.
Once obscure terms such as ballot harvesting and ballot curing became mainstream.
Ballot deadlines were extended. There was lax enforcement of incorrect ballot names and addresses or auditing the registrars’ rolls.
Rich liberal entities, such as Mark Zuckerberg and his $419 million...

In other words, lots of things that used to be called cheating happened in 2020 and they plan to do the same in 2024.
VDH ping
It makes sense, since they will also be recycling massive vote fraud, with some “improvements”, no doubt.
That and hate is all they've got.
“Kamala Harris will struggle to replicate Joe Biden’s 2020 election strategy in 2024 due to her inability to project a moderate image and her radical political history.”
Disagree. The media is even more in the tank for Kamala than they were for Biden, (hard to imagine that’s possible). Add to that, there have been 4 more years of indoctrinated idiots joining the ranks of voters, and 4 more years of older people, who are still able to think, passing away.
The path for Harris is clear.
The Bay Area leftist Harris—unlike the Biden of the 1980s and 1990s—never had any reputation, feigned or not, of being a “centrist” or “moderate.”
Her entire political career was one of pandering either to leftist Democrat voters in 2020 or ultra-liberal Californians in her statewide races.

The media is even more in the tank for Kamala than they were for Biden because he was an old white guy. The bad guy to the dimrats. kamala is indian/black/whatever and female. She checks a lot more boxes than biden ever could.
VDH-—2024 will hinge on whether Republicans will expose
Harris’s lifelong, hard-left ideology and extremist agendas.
Kamala’s a poor substitute for the bait-and-switch 2020 con job pulled
off by “ol’ Joe Biden,” the phony moderate from working class Scranton.
And besides, Harris never carried a lunchbox to her job in Congress like Joe did....../s.
Creepy Dementia Joe didn’t “win”. I find it hard to believe that VDH actually believes that he did.
And we are surprised? Hell no we’ve been predicting this since Trump announced he would run! And here’s another bombshell RFK has just made the PA ballot and instead of taking votes away from the cackling hyena he is taking votes from Trump. Can you say Ross Perot? This is not good folks. I’ll say it again this feels like the summer of 2020 all over again. From the get-go the RNC failed us miserably and we are going to pay the ultimate price come 2024 IF trump loses. I don’t think we can survive for more years of the RATS socialist agenda along with a wide open border. If the kackle wins expect a billion invaders making their way towards our homeland. It’s not a joke it’s Reality! Expect for our guns to be confiscated. You think the constitution is going to protect us they use it as toilet paper. If they win all three branches consider America dead on arrival inauguration day. This type of talk should install FEAR to get our ASSES moving to work hard to get TRUMP in office. But in the meantime this might be our future …Look in the mirror and I’ll tell you who’s looking back at you ….Venezuela! WE MUST FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT or our country is lost…it’s up to us now. Trump has done the best he could and he even took a bullet for us. Our gratitude should shine forth in a spectacular way November 5. God be with the MAGA patriots because our homeland is in big big trouble.
Biden’s in the White House, therefore he “won.” VDH recognizes that.
The idea that Harris can’t conceal her “radical past” is flawed though. Biden literally promised a surge to the border of illegal migrants, an end to oil drilling, and the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud team and he still ended up in the White House. What Harris said or did 20 years ago or 20 months ago isn’t in and of itself going to sink her campaign.
Wha??
The media are already re-writing history in real time. Kamala doesn't have to do anything it will be done for her. She can sit back and let journalists do the work. They are doing the work.
That's some pretty fuzzy logic right there.
Read the article. He’s not saying Biden won because of the issues or because he was popular. He’s saying Biden won because the Democrats loosened the election rules and procedures (to allow for fraudulent voting). Biden’s in the White House so he didn’t lose. No court was going to say that Trump won, so he didn’t. If that’s “fuzzy logic,” the whole election was “fuzzy” and fake.
so what excuse is kamytoe going to use to hide from the press umm can’t use covid...
holding rallyd is not going to help her either
I couldn’t agree more.
She can go from ‘word salad suzy’ to an Amazing Speaker and the bimbos and pretentious ‘men’ of the MSM will pretend (like they did with Biden) that the words are hers.
I assume since the MSM is failing that soon democrats will subsidize them so the left can maintain their delusions.
