Harris is not so much a flip-flopper as a padder, who supports anything, without any worry about framing each new position by renouncing her original and opposite one.
An Opportunistic Mediocrity
In theory, it should be hard for Kamala Harris to win the presidency of the United States.
Under pressure, Harris just completed her first “live interview”—a disastrous performance that was mysteriously taped, edited, and emotionally supported by her co-interviewed running mate. During the interview, she claimed that her values remain the same even though her manifestations of them have admittedly changed. Translated, that means for the next 70 days, she will advocate for popular policies antithetical to her own values, which will inevitably resurface after the election once the current façade fades away.
She is a Berkelyite who, as attorney general of California, had a proud far-left tenure. The lifelong large corpus of Harris’s left-wing enthusiasm and causes are only now being unearthed. But they are singular in that her riffs of embracing wokism, being a radical, erasing ICE, doing away with private health insurance, or being the last person in the room when Joe Biden made his disastrous decisions were all given to sympathetic media or pandered to crowds.
As a result, she often doubled down. Her emphatic statements were intended to stun audiences. Unlike other leftists, she really was a proud woke, radical and wanted everyone else to be one as well—broadcasting her leftism as openly as she is now cloaking it.
In one respected survey, Harris’s voting record was rated as the most left-leaning in the United States Senate. If she voted to the left of the admitted hardcore socialist Bernie Sanders, what exactly does that make her?
Otherwise, Harris was undistinguished, and often overtly so, as she was exposed as inane in Senate hearings.

Harris is the perfect democRAT “identity politics” candidate. I hope they are proud when she tries to trip up President Trump in the debate with her word salad.

there just isn’t enough dressing anywhere that will fix a harris salad...but they’re going to try anyway. croutons maybe?
Why should they? They just turn her into a basement candidate and stuff the ballot boxes in the swing states.
Like Barry Hussein Bozo, to say she is lazy and unaccomplished is an understatement. And also like him, she is an extreme leftist.
The problem with Kamala, as has been noted universally, even among Democrats, is that she really is stupid. She truly is a dummy. A moron. Only now in the age of affirmative action and DEI can someone as brain limited as she is have reached the heights that she has. So they are stuck with her. Their stupid and unfair policies are in the process of biting them on the ass.
Can They Really Reinvent Kamala Harris in 70 Days?
why not? If Stalin could erase Nikolai Yezhov.......
As long as they continue to keep her off of TV, the media can mold her image into that of Margaret Thatcher if given enough time.
Frank Zappa said it best:
“Reality is invented for you by people who design it like a choreography; there’s definitely an office somewhere in Washington, with people you’ve never heard of, that designs reality. It’s not just about what will be the next event to come up but rather what will be the interpretation of a given international event And this must be distributed everywhere through the media, without anyone asking questions about it.”
I think I would be more comfortable with Hillary as president than Kamala.
In their minds, yes, they can.
stealing the election is the way
The only hope was to embarrass the ‘media’ into doing their jobs, but they are so far past the point of ridicule as to be irrelevant.
Words of wisdom from Frank, and don’t eat the yellow snow. R.I.P. one of the great ones.
I absolutely believe her values have not changed
“collective”
Kamala Harris
One word, used as a noun, not as an adjective, says it all, comrades.
She’s the offspring of a Marxist economist.
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.

A normal person would deduce they all had gotten the script from the DNC the night before and were instructed to use it in their feature the next day. It was ... well, odd. And hilariously obvious.
Similar to today's "joyful" and "happy warrior" claptrap in regards to Heels Up.
It isn’t who votes that matters, it’s who COUNTS the votes.
