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 Joe 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 15 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.
3. For the next 70 days, reinvent Harris as a moderate. Xerox much of Donald Trump’s current more popular agenda. Have Harris claim it as her own. Reboot her as a border hawk, a China hawk, a defense hawk, a budget hawk, and a law-and-order hawk.
4. The word-salad Harris must not do a single unscripted media interview, live town hall, extemporaneous chat, ambush hot mic, or lecture without a teleprompter.
5. Harris must not offer any policy proposals such as her harebrained price controls that deviate from her 70-day new centrist image and teleprompted scripts.
6. Do not mention Biden at all. Harris is not to be seen with him in photos or at events. Create a vaguely joyful but completely imaginary, “Harris record.” Separate it from the miserable Biden-Harris administration. Leak that she was unhappy with Biden.
7. Call Trump a mobster, criminal, insurrectionist, and dictator nonstop. Never provide any evidence to support such charges. When challenged, double down and let loose with worse invective.
8. Talk about abortion nonstop. But never dare mention the word. Relabel abortion “reproductive rights.” Falsely reinvent Trump as a radical anti-abortionist who wants a federal ban.
9. Follow the 2020 successful Biden “basement” strategy: keep out of the public eye, silent on the issues, reliant on 70 percent of the ballots not being cast on Election Day, and outsourcing the campaign to the fusion media and billionaire class.
10. Harangue about race and gender nonstop. Define the election as a stark binary between a “young” oppressed but dynamic black woman and an old oppressor racist white guy.
11. Reinvent the “journey” and life “story” of Harris — the child of two PhDs — into a hardscrabble, lifelong struggle against poverty, systemic racism, and greedy “billionaires” like Trump. She is always to be from Oakland — never Berkeley.
12. Talk about transparency nonstop. Feign a willingness to have three or four debates. But agree to hold only one — and only on a left-wing network. Promise interviews and town halls endlessly. Enter into discussions about them. But always delay, stonewall, and evade for the next 10 weeks.
13. Meet privately and endlessly with the megarich donor class that helped to remove Biden. Assure Wall Street, Hollywood, and Silicon Valley grandees that banter about wealth taxes, taxes on unearned income, and higher corporate taxes are mere campaign posturing. Then outraise Trump again 3-1.
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.
15. Control and modulate the street. Anti-Trump protests are a legitimate “movement” that are “not going to let up. And they should not.” Any violent anti-Trump demonstrator should be bailed out immediately.
All anti-Democrat, anti-Harris demonstrations should be deterred. A large police presence must be proactive with as many arrests as possible, with barriers, and plenty of backup. Protest leaders should be given private concessions and incentives to tone down their people.
David Ray says
And/or these evil, woke fools could arrange another attempt on Trump’s life.
Trust me. If these low-lifes can, they will.
I so hope Trump has added his own security to augment the S.S. The current ship-of-fools are, as demonstrated, either criminally incompetent, or worse – complicit. (Their entrenched cover-up suggests the later.)
FJB and the mail-in ballots he rode in on.
God save Trump & our last hope of avoiding the last installment of a 3rd-world police state. (You better win, President Trump. You actually are standing between them and us.)
internalexile says
Might sound overblown, but the future of Western Civ itself could be seen as a see-saw, with Trump on the good side, and Marxism and Islam on the other. This election is that important.
Jeff Bargholz says
That isn’t overblown, it’s a plain fact.
Jeff Bargholz says
I couldn’t have said it better.
And yes, the Secret Service was complicit in the assassination attempt. It’s so obvious. We’ve all heard how Trump’s security detail was deliberately diminished and Crooks was spotted on that roof long before he fired off eight shots. And the attempt was either enabled or masterminded by the “Justice” Department.
The same “Justice Department” which has Merrick Gaylord telling the media that it’s doing all it can to get back the American hostages of Hamas (They’re all dead already) when it isn’t doing a thing to have them released. NOTHING. In fact, the Injustice Department and the whole administration obviously favors Hamas over America, that’s how psychotically anti Jew/Israel they are.
The Alzheimer Joe administration is comprised of the worst scumbag liars in American history. The most anti-American too, even worse than the Bareback Hasbeen Osama administration, which I never believed possible before Pedo Joe was installed via vote cheating.
The Secret Service is compromised. When Trump got shot it was headed by a female politician with no experience or training in protecting Presidents, for God’s sake. A total DEI hire.
If election cheating denies Trump the Presidency for the second time in a row, America is fucked.
oebele bruinsma says
US is “fucked” either way the election result swings. My take: the voting machines are already set to favour Harris. The rural parts of the US will probably revolt. In case Trump wins, the urban sprawls will explode. November will probably be covered in dark clouds, unfortunately.
SPURWING PLOVER says
Disarm all the People Evict people from their Apartments and give their Apartment to Gangs from South of the Border that’s how to steal aa lection the Demo-Rats need voted Out of America Period
Jeff Bargholz says
They’re working on it. I’m sure you saw video of those Venezuelan gangs which have taken over apartment buildings and extort money from tenants at gunpoint. And they had very sophisticate rifles. How did they get those? Gee, I wonder.
The Mayor of Denver danced a ridiculous jig and sang Feliz Navidad on video for the public so it’s obvious why the gangs operate with impunity.
SPURWING PLOVER says
The Mayor of Denver needs to be arrested and charged with giving aid and comfort to the Enemy and life in prison for both
Jeff Bargholz says
Sounds about right. Most of that is already happening.
Even with all those effective strategies she’ll still lose badly though, and only massive vote cheating like in 2020 can put her in office. America hates her and knows her record. Most Dirtbagocrtas will vote for her because they fanatically vote D-Bag every time but there aren’t enough of them to give her a win.
David Ray says
I so hope you’re right, because they’ll do more than cheat.
The aspiring Prostitute-in-Cheif has goons like Brennan seeking another staged event to slander the MAGA patriots.
They want to do more than just mail fake bombs to themselves as done in Oct. of 2018.
They want to manufacture another Reichstag Fire to use to incarcerate opponents & shut down election day. (They’ve already telegraphed a cyber attack on Nov. 5th)
Mo de Profit says
16. Ignore the fact that the democrats locked up political prisoners for years without trial.
17. Continue to give billions to the other dictators of the world through the UN.
18. Continue to give billions to the military industrial complex to get involved in foreign wars.
19. Pay billions to coloured people because America was the second nation to end slavery 200 years ago.
20. Keep the establishment happy by giving them pay raises.
Richard Terrell says
Kamala’s campaign has all been set
To obscure the fact she’s a moronette.
There’s really not much we need to explain.
Kamala Harris is minus a brain.
But they hope she’ll fool us with her toothy smile
While the Republic we have she will defile.
If she’s elected we’ll take our lumps,
So let’s make sure the victory is Trump’s.
Michael Peppe says
Hahaha–I love it! Thank you.
Semaphore says
These 15 points feel uncomfortably like the modus operandi of the CIA in their manipulation of foreign elections. Hope I’m wrong.
PatriotLiz says
That sounds a lot like Fascist-Commie totalitarianism.
RS says
The illegal aliens have been brought in to replace. American voters. The Dems can’t run on honesty so they had to bring in voters who don’t know anything about them.
Jennifer says
If Democrats send Trump to Riker’s Island, how would it be possible to protect him 24/7? Even if the initial rules allow for Secret Service protection, will it be the same incompetent detail from Butler? And once inside Riker’s, what will stop the Democrats in charge of it from changing the rules so that Trump ends up in a totally defenseless situation? He could be found with a broken Hyoid Bone like Jeffrey Epstein, supposedly because Trump decided to commit suicide in his cell while the surveillance cameras were malfunctioning.
The courts and Republicans need to make it their highest priority prevent the Biden-Harris administration from sending Trump into Riker’s Island.
Intrepid says
It’s hard to reinvent stupid. She is simply too dumb and too phony. Remember, she has never gotten a vote in three election cycles.
