Political positions are historically central to the justification for a presidential campaign, and until recently, Kamala Harris’ campaign had avoided such a conversation. Now Harris-Walz campaign releases snapshot of how they plan to governand we can’t aid but notice a lot of lofty promises and empty socialist platitudes with very little detail on how it will be done. And more importantly, why is this “New Way Forward” needed now after the last four years of Democrats in the White House. Was it the “Wrong Way Forward”?
Average voters will notice this, so the campaign needs to act now Really control access to candidates so they don’t have to answer tough questions. With less than sixty days left in the 2024 election cycle, we expect the Harris-Walz campaign continue to avoid unscripted interviews while simultaneously showing the media campaign ads to try to make sense of it, which is obviously nonsense.
Is this a brilliant strategy, as some media report?Is this the latest in a series of strategic mistakes by the Democratic Party that would somehow manipulate the public into believing that the economic and social catastrophe caused by the Biden-Harris administration simply did not happen?
In fact, we think the “basement strategy” is shrewd because The Democrat machine cannot change course at this point. The machine that put Harris-Walz up for president is too committed to its socialist agenda and hopelessly disconnected from the American public to even consider correcting course toward the center. The lie must continue to sell a vision of America that very few people want.
We saw that throughout the four days of the Democratic National Convention. It was a bizarre display of personality disorder in your face fielded by a degraded group of guilt-ridden individuals who must lie about everything in order to erase the memory of the disastrous Biden-Harris term in office. Democrats know they are on the wrong side of three major issues this cycle: the economy, the migrant crisis at the southern border, and the irresponsible Biden-Harris foreign policy that has led to ongoing disasters in Ukraine and the Middle East.
Add to this the realization by Americans that Biden and Harris’ withdrawal from Afghanistan (which we were reminded of when Democrats like President Biden politicized Trump’s visit to Arlington National Cemetery last week at the invitation of the 13 people who died at Abbey Gate, much worse alone) was a deadly disaster with long-term geopolitical consequences.
Joe Biden— against the advice of his own joint chiefs of staff, NATO allies and the Afghan government — withdrew so that he, not President Trump, could claim to have ended America’s longest war. Withdrawing from Afghanistan was always about Biden’s so-called “legacy.” Democrats, Biden and Kamala Harris, the last person in the Situation Room with the presidentnow take over this disaster. This is now the legacy of Biden’s failure. It was even more shameful than the final withdrawal of US forces from Saigon in April 1975.
Democrats, no matter how difficult they try, can’t stop it. Neither abortion (which Trump has partially defused as an issue in some key swing states) nor the Green New Deal (that most Americans are against it) can be countered in any way that makes sense, except for suburban moms who like wine and people with multiple sclerosis who watch View.
The machine must now direct its power to support Vice President Harris. This is the same person who hid Biden’s disability for most of his four-year termwhich has done nothing but allow for the introduction of inflation-control laws tie-breaking votes in the Senate where the result is a 50-50 tieand who will continue to incite this through the treacherous customary media.
All in the name of “saving our democracy.” This is the falsest war cry we’ve ever heard.
The Democrats’ “democracy” is really a huge spoils system, a extensive political machine that siphons trillions of taxpayer dollars from the treasury and gives them to their preferred nonprofits and NGOs, creating irresponsible secondary bureaucracy who is at war with all non-establishment and Deep State agents who currently serve as the shadow government.
All the platitudes about improving “quality of life”, making “food more affordable”, achieving “border security” and “ensuring the future of our children” are cynical reminders of how many lies are needed to maintain the fiction that Democrats want anything other than total intervention and control over the population. This is totalitarian in nature and explains how the left must feed the public a constant stream of lies in order to maintain any degree of credibility.
But maybe Democrats don’t care about credibility. After all, The Democratic Party is the party of huge governmentHe is a formidable enemy because he holds the levers of federal power while constantly consolidating state and local power through buying the elections of left-wing prosecutors (Kamala Harris was one of them) that unleash chaos on society and punish those who are not on board with their agenda. They enable racketeering operations to funnel extensive amounts of taxpayer wealth to select special interests and activist organizations to act as proxies for government agencies to carry out their agendas under the guise of invisibility.
“Saving Our Democracy” is a euphemism for the Democrats for “keeping our irresponsible transfer of wealth alive.” The enormous amount of wealth that has been transferred from the middle class and wealthy to the elite 1% over the last four years is simply staggering. It has nothing to do with representing the interests of the American people. Any mention of benefits to the American people is an outright lie.
This is what Donald Trump and the conservative movement are against. This is why Democrats are actively trying to bankrupt Trump and send him to jailThat is why Trump was targeted for assassination — the first attempt on a president’s life since 1980.
And that’s why Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign was sabotaged by the Democratic PartyKennedy has made no secret of his contempt for public health agencies and their financial ties to Big Pharma, which constitute a clear conflict of interest, or his criticism of health insurance company divestments.
Transfer of public assets between the government and private organizations (including customary media, which often operate four-page ads and two-minute Big Pharma ads in exchange for advantageously covering up the human losses caused by their products) is hidden, but not unseen.
Democrats have held the presidency for 12 of the last 16 years. The legacy of the party during this period it’s legal warfare, crime, the destruction of institutions, a ruined economy, a devalued dollar, sexual madness, the devastation of communities, and the increased likelihood of world war.
“Saving our democracy” doesn’t mean what you think it means — it’s an empty phrase that gets repeated over and over to distract you from their real intention, which is to continue to seize taxpayer assets without accountability. And soon, they won’t even try to hide it.
The implications of the 2024 election are therefore enormous. As we have argued before, Republicans must not only win in November, but they must win in a huge way. That must include winning the popular vote, not just the Electoral College. Trump must win. Republicans must raise their slim majority in the House of Representatives and regain control of the Senate. Democrats suffering from TDS, such as Jamie Raskin they must not be given any opportunity to challenge the results of the coming elections. Their defeat must be decisive and resounding.
