Rare is it that I agree with Democrats, but on their assessment of the current Vice President, I am in full agreement. I use the word “current” because the way things are going with Kamala Harris, you can’t be sure she’ll be around in 2024, let alone next week. Because, it turns out, everyone hates Kamala.
I’m right there with them, she’s simply awful. But my reasons are significantly different from why so many Democrats seem to have the long knives out for her. Either way, I’ll take it and enjoy watching it happen.
It can’t come as a surprise to anyone, Harris was one of the all-time worst candidates for president ever. Showered with praise and glowing media coverage because she’s A) a Democrat, B) a woman, and C) a black and Asian woman; she got more in free media coverage than many of the other Democrats could afford to buy. And she squandered every bit of it, and faster than anyone could have imagined.
Kamala was forced to drop out in December of 2019, a month before anyone even had a chance to vote. Democrats, having had months to look at her, consider her, listen to her, ask her questions and hear her answers, collectively took a pass. It was humiliating.
Were she not who she is, she wouldn’t have lasted as long as she did. Because of how she is – one of the least genuine people in politics – she couldn’t survive.
Why the Biden campaign chose her is as obvious at it is pathetic, and should be wildly offensive to her. Joe’s casual sexism led to a pledge that he’d pick a woman, his unabashed racism narrowed the field to Harris and Elizabeth Warren. Since Warren, herself wildly disingenuous, only pretended to be a Native American, they went with Harris. Her lack of ability to connect with audiences didn’t matter since there were no audiences to connect with in the 2020 campaign.
She checked boxes, boxes Democrats are obsessed with. That was all that mattered.
The problem for Harris is that when they won, she had to actually do something. She could have assumed the former role of a vice president, which is not much of anything. But what Harris lacks in ability she more than makes up for with ambition – she wanted issues in which to plant her flag.
To the credit, if you care about such things, the Biden White House gave her what someone in her position would want – issues that matter; that get attention. She was the lead on immigration. Were she not hamstrung by the left-wing, open borders ideology of Democrats, she could have easily gotten a handle on the mess down there and restored order. But the base of the Democrats don’t want order, so the mess got worse and made her look really bad.
She wasn’t innocent herself, no one forced her to spew that “I haven’t been to Europe either” line when asked if she’d go to the border. But she didn’t ever bother trying to secure it, just ran away hoping people would stop talking about it. People didn’t because the illegals didn’t stop coming.
Everything Harris touched became her campaign – it got worse. With all of it, her popularity slid. She’s one of those rare politicians that people like the abstract but can’t stand in the flesh. She’s simply a grating personality, fake as the day is long.
Even though it seems impossible, she’s less popular than Joe Biden is, and Joe Biden is wildly unpopular right now. She’s an anchor on the White House. Naturally, Biden loyalists are trying to distance her from them, and her people are returning the favor.
Pieces suddenly started appearing about how Harris is “frustrated” with what she’d been given as VP. They seem less concerned with how she’s failed at what she’s been given, but what do you expect?
Other Democrats, those with an eye on 2024 who’d normally defer to the current VP should the President decide not to run, aren’t. They don’t like her any more than anyone else. What’s worse for her, they don’t respect her either. As this Politico report illustrates, she might as well not exist; the vultures have already picked the bones clean.
This doesn’t happen to politicians who’ve accomplished things, or even to likeable ones. This is happening to Kamala Harris because she hasn’t accomplished anything in office, either as VP or before, and she’s not even remotely likeable.
I think it says quite a bit about our “electoral process” that Harris, who did so terribly in the 2020 primaries, who embarrassed herself early on and dropped out at the start, who showed herself to be incredibly unlikable, a woman of no accomplishments at all, a woman who is known to have slept her way to the top, a politician from California, which was a state that was certainly voting Democrat with or without her on the ticket — WHY did the Democrats have to choose her for the VP slot?
Just makes no sense at all. Certainly they weren’t trying to “boost their chances of winning” since that was already in the bag (voters don’t matter). But why her? Why?
Follow the money and the heels.
I wouldn’t kick her out of bed.
Do solidify the black vote, since Trump does better than most Republicans with blacks, and he did a lot of good things for blacks. So they figured, “she’s black” and ran with her. Little did they realize that blacks hate her, too. But no harm no foul, because they could now safely call Trump a racist.
I would. Unless her mouth was duct-taped. Scratch that. Even then, I would.
There is only ONE person who stands in the way of Bidet giving up..only ONE person who is finally reaping the rewards of decades of investment in his dysfunctional family, Joe sniffing hair and creepy hands, embarrassment, and Hunter, who is NOT surrendering the trappings of the rich life she's earned...
But why her? Why?
She is a woman, she is [semi] black[-ish] and thats what counts. And maybe because they could not believe she would/could be THAT awful.
Now they are stuck with her.
Because Joe is a racist and they needed cover.
She can keep up if she’s only doing one benefactor at a time. Willie Brown always gave heels up a thumbs up. She just needs to up her game and skirt for Barry and whoever else is calling the shots in DC.
You’d need vaccines that work to bed that over used Kamel toed POS not to mention a psychological exam as to why.
Willie Brown should have trained her better. The only skill she had when she entered politics post Willie is she knew when to turn over. Unfortunately, her skillset has not advanced much since then.
She began her career by literally whoring herself out. She was elected, or rather “selected”, to the Senate through the corrupt machine politics of a one party state. Democrat Party bosses in California cleared the path so that she was essentially the only candidate running for the seat.
Her appointment to Vice President wasn’t much different. She was selected as a sop to the identity politics of the Democrat party, not based upon any consideration of merit. Joe Biden himself then won only through an election that was rigged in his favor.
The Democrats are finally waking up to the fact of how eff'd they are in 2022 and 2024 as a result. Panic is setting in, challengers for the Presidential nomination in 2024 are strongly hinting at a run, and the Democrat party leadership is in complete turmoil.
2022's midterm elections are just under a year away and 2024 seems a lifetime away given the horrible shape the country is in right now.
The only question I have is this: Can the Republicant's stop from stepping on their own d**ks long enough to actually win, or will they once again seize defeat from the jaws of victory?
AFAIC the jury's still out on that one.
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit!
They wanted an affirmative action Vice president. Even Newt Gingrich thought that She would be the Democrat nominee for president in 2020. People failed to do their homework. A presidential candidate in right mind does not pick a vice presidential candidate who is not qualified. Biden has a long history of being wrong just as Robert Gates said.
Kommiela is simply dumber than most Democrat office holders. ALL Democrats are interchangeable policy wise.
