How do accomplished radicals elect a mediocre far-left presidential candidate?
The task might at first seem impossible.
Kamala Harris is currently a radical incumbent vice president. For more than three years, she was second in command to an unprecedentedly unliked Democrat president, his failed policies, and his unpopular record.
Harris herself had compiled a hard-left trail over her own entire career while loudly boasting indiscreetly to leftist audiences of being proudly “woke” and “radical.”
Most challenging for a Harris candidacy makeover was the long, entrenched Democratic Party’s reluctance to remove a debilitated President Biden from the Democratic ticket.
Why?
Because Harris was deemed such a liability that she had become a Spiro Agnew-like insurance policy for a failing Biden.
Until just recently, Democrats had considered an unpopular and enfeebled Biden nonetheless far preferable to an incoherent, lightweight, and widely ridiculed potential replacement Vice President Harris.
After all, she had never before entered a presidential primary. She never won a single delegate by voting. She failed miserably as a candidate in 2020.
And she co-owns the unpopular record of an even more unpopular president.
The complete Harris makeover requires fifteen radical rules followed to the letter:
1. Remake Harris as an entirely fresh happy face. She’s about joy and vibe—which trumps position papers and policy statements. Banish all thoughts that she is an incumbent vice president and co-owns the last four years of the Biden administration.
2. Ignore/deny that Harris as vice president could have long ago enacted her new makeover proposal—or could do so right now in the remaining five months of her administration’s tenure. She was the last person out of the room when Biden made those awful decisions.

This is what they are already doing.

I’m shocked at the speed the turd rollers in the so-called “media” were able to convert her into being the Jamaicanho Injun Einstein.
14. Privately assure leftist activists and Democrat politicos that any backslidings from supporting lifelong left-wing advocacies are temporary and necessary 70-day pretexts. Instead look at what Harris actually does after November 5, not anything she must say before then.
No matter what we may hear or see, this is the reality of her candidacy. A great one from Prof Hanson.

People laugh at this.
But they are the one’s who are ignorant of the power of the corrupt/complicit media. And they forget that at least 1/2 of voters have an IQ below 99. Another 20% “just want to belong”.
Sadly, it’s likely to work.
It goes beyond the media to corporations and government. Some interesting commentary on what is going on.

VDH!
Listening to Atlanta radio station and a FOX poll is reporting “she” is ahead of President Trump in blah blah states...
SHE is touring RURAL areas of GA today because she WANTS TO speak to VOTERS who cannot make it to rallies. Is she kidding? What a bunch of hooey!!! She’s looking for the voters who don’t have a clue who she is or what she stands for! I should say “THEY” are on the tour as she has doofus with her!!! No doubt the “second” doofus also!
When was the last time she did the job she gets paid to do?
When was the FIRST time she did the job she gets paid to do?
WOW, that’s so cool....NOW the report is a BUS TOUR and they ate BBQ food in Savannah and visited a local school band rehearsal so Harris could tell them she’s so PROUD of them.
Guess they don’t know the meaning of “rural”!! SAVANNAH!
VDH:
“Harris was deemed such a liability that she had become a Spiro Agnew-like insurance policy for a failing Biden.”
me:
“IneligibleHarris was deemed such a liability that she was selected as a Spiro Agnew-like insurance policy for a failed Biden.”
The DNC Party Machine Bosses had a couple dozen potential Veep candidates to select from in 2020. Several had Harris’ racist and sexist credentials, they didn’t need to select her.They selected her because she was extremely disliked (failed to get even a single electoral vote on her own) and grossly incompetent (throughout her entire career, check her DA and AG record in the once-great State of Californication). Plus, she had tremendous political baggage on top of all that (check out her relationship with the most corrupt California legislator in history, Willie Brown).
The idea was to protect Biden against impeachment or other removal from the White House. And in this special capacity, Ineligible Harris served exceptionally well. Nearly NOBODY wanted to see her installed as POTUS.

I was going to ask WHERE the interview will take place and now I don’t have to ask....I think some of the info I heard on the radio wasn’t correct - seems they weren’t in Savannah as early as was reported.
I’ll have to look up Pinpoint, GA....thanks...wherever the boondocks are, that’s where she needs to be!!! Only one way in and NO WAY OUT!!!!! Sweet dream!
“”The CNN interview is set to air at 9 p.m. EDT. It is scheduled to be taped at 1:45 p.m. EDT during her two-day bus tour through southeast Georgia that culminates with an evening rally in Savannah. Harris campaign officials believe that in order to win the state over Trump in November, she must make inroads in GOP strongholds across the state.””
Pinpoint, Georgia is where Justice Clarence Thomas was raised by his grandfather.
“...she was second in command...”
I googled and that is an interesting place with an interesting history. Thanks so much....So close to Savannah, and I get she and her entourage aren’t even aware of it...
:get: - make that “bet”.....amazing how much one can proofread and still not catch errors...
Yes. They aren’t even embarrassed or ashamed when someone like VDH actually points all this out.
Their attitude is to just ignore this criticism completely, or if they do respond to this criticism, the answer (couched in a brain-dead, undecided voter-friendly “word salad” is going to boil down to “So what? What are you going to do about it?”
