I couldn’t help but notice on Labor Day that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris went and spoke to members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). While not unusual – Democrats have always pandered to unions and are in bed with union bosses, getting almost all of the campaign cash unions spend – something occurred to me while watching: How many non-union, non-Democratic Party crowds has Kamala Harris addressed in the last month. Turns out, not many.
While not every Harris event has been a union event, every Harris event is dominated by union members. It makes you wonder if anything about her or her campaign is real.
I know the answer, Democrats are frauds, but there’s usually something at least tangential to “real” in the endeavor. In the case of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, I simply do not see it.
The crowds they speak to are generally invited and small. You’d be surprised how you can make a small group of people look large with the proper framing. That’s not to say she hasn’t drawn large crowds because she has, but she’s not now.
The “enthusiasm,” as far as it goes, on the left is canned. Democrats weren’t excited for Kamala, they were excited to be rid of Joe Biden. They would have cheered anyone. The overriding motivating force on the left is hatred of Donald Trump, not love for anything any elected Democrat brings to the table. Most Democrats have no idea what it is the party stands for now, they just know the alternative is Donald Trump and that’s enough.
People who are not particularly bright don’t need to be convinced, manipulation works just fine because the hive mind doesn’t ask questions anyway.
Kamala goes to town, whatever the local union that can help the most is chosen, usually on a rotating basis, to provide the human props for the stage backdrop, while local party officials bring in some donors for the VIP room and campaign volunteers for the audience. That last group is a dime a dozen and have more turnover than any office Kamala Harris ever was the boss of (which is an accomplishment since working for her is torture, I’m told). They will cheer when they’re supposed to, chant what they’re told to, and smile for the cameras like a groupie outside the Plaza Hotel in 1964 pretty sure they’ve figured out what they have to do to meet the band.
It’s tempting to say they’re AI, but there is zero evidence of anything resembling the “I” part.
There are telltale signs off all of this, especially the human props wall on stage with Kamala and Tim. Notice how they almost always wear union t-shirts? Either “The such and such union for Harris” or just a shirt with their union’s name on it.
Democrats either think the general public is stupid or know their supporters are. It could also be both.
This could be the first presidential election in history where the candidate of one party never has an honest, unscripted moment with a member of the general public.
At a diner outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Harris/Walz campaign kicked the real people out of the joint so they could stock it like a trout pond with people approved by the campaign to be within talking distance of the group – meaning campaign employees and volunteers as well as obedient media who wouldn’t dream of asking an unauthorized question.
It makes you wonder what Democrats are afraid of.
Actually, we know. As Kamala’s run in 2019 showed, the idea of Kamala Harris is fairly popular, but the reality of her is not. When she got in the race back then, she immediately polled near the top of heap. Then people heard her.
Her ideas weren’t really all the different from anyone else’s, Democrats are essentially interchangeable like Lego pieces. There was something uniquely unappealing about Kamala Harris the person. It could’ve been her voice, her laugh, her inability to speak off the cuff about anything in a way a normal person would speak. Voters in the Democratic primary recoiled and she faded away, dropping out before anyone had a chance to vote.
With a record like that, you can’t blame Democrats for wanting to hide her. If I were advising Trump, I’d propose giving most of his time in the debate to her, since the more people hear from her, the less they like her. Tossing a word salad will only get you so far, even with the media propping you up.
Rob A says
Kommie-la Harris is a dimwitted worn out old hoochie who laughs like a hyena and is being over-hyped way beyond her level of competence and intelligence..
Anne-Marie says
It’s the Peter principle in action.
David Ray says
The more that fool says “God bless America”, the more she lies – twice in one sentence.
The more that fool speaks, the more she confirms her stupidity.
The more that fool waxes philosophical, the more she embarrasses herself and the listener.
The more that fool throws a tantrum, the more her staff seek employment elsewhere.
The press can only clean up after her so much, and the debate tomorrow just might prove too much to conceal.
(Her conversational abilities are on an infantile 3rd grade level, but as Willie Brown can testify to, her past services didn’t require conversation.)
SPURWING PLOVER says
those who support Attila the Hen might want to reconsider their choice
Rob A says
Alas, dumb and stupid people are intimidated by people smarter than them. Ergo, there is no reconsidering for the Kommie-la Harris parasites. They’re with her to the bitter end and will go down with her. For the rest of America, that’s a good thing.
Arthur Vasquez says
Not only the people who support Kamala/Walz are dumb and stupid Kamala has a walnut for a brain
Hannah Katz says
Despite attempts to show her as a moderate, her record shows she is a little to the left of Che Guevarra. Closer to Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. This needs to be revealed to the masses.
And her support of reparations needs to be featured. If she still wants them, she will lose in a landslide. If she reverses her prior stance, her black supporters will stay home on election day.
Anne-Marie says
Yes, and she has about as much charisma as Ceausescu.
Snuffy Carter says
If the shit ever hits the fan in America, Kommie-la will meet the same fate as Ceausescu.
Intrepid says
‘Tossing a word salad will only get you so far.’
Obviously Commumala is a real ‘tosser’.
Rob A says
Only Willie Brown knows for sure and he ain’t talking…!
Steve Chavez says
MOST IMPORTANT DEBATE QUESTIONS:
Will ABC give her the questions in advance, or will she give them the questions in advance?
All questions will be worded where she will be on offense to score points while Trump will always be on defense and even when it’s a different topic, he’ll expand on the previous question, again, playing Defense. If he steals the ball to score a point, the referee will blow the whistle before he scores. “FOUL!” They WILL cheat and do anything to win.
UNIONS ARE MARXIST MAFIAS. They strike for more while demanding to do less. The company then just packs up and moves to another state, OR ANOTHER COUNTRY and now those workers are unemployed and lose everything.
BRING OUR FACTORIES HOME and to Our Hemisphere. To HELL with China, SE Asia, and the ME where they are building bullet trains, maglev trains, international trains, modern infrastructure, artificial islands, and the highest buildings. WITH OUR MONEY! ADD IMPORTING OIL FROM PEOPLE THAT ALWAYS STAB US IN THE BACK! Help our hemisphere, Mexico all the way to Argentina, the Carribean Islands, even Cuba since they will eventually fall and would have decades ago if not for the DEMOCRATIC PARTY’S AMERICAN DREAM: ONE-PARTY RULE!
Mark says
Kamala is a fascist pig, to breathe new life into a 60’s hit.
Rob A says
I think of her more as a dumb ditzy bimbo who has risen to the highest level of her incompetence.
Only in the democrat party can a neophyte such as Kommie-la Harris with a demonstrably low IQ achieve what she has achieved.
Want proof that I’m not kidding? Joe Biden. QED
Snuffy Carter says
The illegal Haitians that Kommie-la and Poopy Pants air lifted into America invited this dynamic duo over for dinner- on the menu – BBQ cat and BBQ dog – for some reason the invited guests pulled a no show.
JBnID says
Has her dosage begun?
Swisstoons says
Everyone had such high hopes for her, growing up. She was, afterall, the Word Saladictorian of her high school class.
Alkflaeda says
I am reminded of George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”, where all the porcine dictator Napoleon had to do to get his way, was to assure the other animals that if they didn’t co-operate “Jones will come back”. The French election was dominated, not by who they wanted, but by who they were told they didn’t, and “Trump will come back” is definitely a potent threat to some groups in the US. And it is arguable that the current UK administration is in power because they are not the Conservatives, rather than because of what they represent.
