Kamala Harris Isn’t Running A Democrat Campaign. The Media Are Doing It For Her.
The Federalist ^ | August 13, 2024 | Eddie Scarry

Posted on 08/13/2024 2:12:40 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

There was a particularly revealing set of quotes from unnamed Democrat “insiders” in Monday’s edition of Politico “Playbook” that went like this: “Values unite and specific policies divide, so I don’t think there is a desire to spend the next 80 days litigating Medicare for All, for example,” and, “Why would we start talking about policy?”

In other words, Democrats feel no need whatsoever to run a campaign for president. They know they don’t have to because the news media are doing the work for them.

We just went through the most scandalous month of national campaign politics, a month unlike anything seen in generations, and the Democrats are not only unfazed, they’re exuberant. That’s not my word, it’s David Axelrod’s.

The Republican nominee, a former president, was almost murdered in front of children. The sitting president, ill for the second time just days apart, was browbeaten by his own party into abandoning his campaign only three months before Election Day. His vice president was anointed the party’s new nominee without having earned a single vote. Now she’s campaigning like she’s not currently in the White House and like the past three years of her shockingly poor performance didn’t happen.

And just like that, we’re told Kamala Harris is wildly popular and Donald Trump’s clear electoral advantage has evaporated. Politico on Tuesday even ran the headline “Could Harris’ Momentum Put Florida In Play?”

A news media interested in thoroughly explaining, contextualizing, and documenting current events would be running headlines to the effect of “WTF, THIS ISN’T NORMAL!” That’s unfortunately not the news media we have. Instead, our news media have offered no indication that there’s anything at all to be alarmed about. Well, except any remaining possibility that...

Here in PA, Trump has hit her hard. Her own mouth saying “I’m a radical.” Sorry about California, it was a great State.

It was available worldwide. You know, that Internet thing the kids are using these days.

No kidding? With your snarky little comment, all you did was pwn yourself, not me. Apparently, you didn’t read or understand the post I was replying to. Why should Kamala have to worry about the other 365,000,000 people in the rest of the world who are not going to vote in the election? Get it now?

For those of you who think the media are objective reporters ... you are willfully stupid. I don’t know how much more they have to do to prove they are not.

Only low information voters watch it. Others see it reposted here and various alternative media sites.

No election returns should be counted except the ones they KNOW are legitimate. It’s my understanding that the returns generally do not need to be returned early & certainly none that are returned late should be accepted.

Uh, the population of the US is only 346,000,000.
The views would be from people.all over the world, not limited to the USA population.

Camel..ahh will be easier for the DS to control than Biden. The media just do the DS bidding. Trump has to win big.

> I’m so tired of these kind of replies. Are you trying to dissuade people from voting?

I thought the left's constant barrage of "election deniers" and aggressive lawfare of anyone bothering to challenge the steal would be enough to convince a reasonable person they are going to try stealing the election again.

I would say it responsible to prepare people what is likely to happen even after they go out to vote.

Yes my friend, but you missed the point. So what about the views of the rest of the world. Those 655,000,000 viewers don’t vote in our election. So responding to the op, Kamala doesn’t have to worry about them.
