What do you call someone to the left of a socialist?
We are looking at America’s first junta. Barack Obama just fired the President of the United States and he gave him six months to clear out his desk. Without a single vote being cast, Obama selected Kamala Harris to be Biden's replacement on the November ballot. The entire Democratic Party establishment seems OK with that, and now they have to make it work.
Kamala's politics were learned as a child
The Washington Times reports Kamala Harris' voting record in the Senate was further to the Left than Bernie Sanders, and there is additional, compelling evidence to indicate that Kamala Harris may indeed be communist.
No, she's not a member of the Communist Party, but you don't have to be a Communist to be a communist, if you get the drift. If a person grows up in a committed Marxist professor's home and eats at his table, it would be natural to have absorbed Karl Marx's philosophy before they reached their teenage years.
Her father, Donald Harris, is a renowned Marxist economist from Jamaica who taught at Stanford University for decades.
Harris married Shyamala Gopalan, a cancer researcher and an immigrant from a Brahmin family in India. The New Yorker described the couple as left-wing immigrants who both attended and taught at some of the most prestigious schools in the country. In the early 1960s, the couple met and were active in the Berkeley-based Afro-American Association, the fore-runner of the Black Panthers.
In 1975, Donald Harris was recruited to the Stanford University economics department as an open Marxist. He took early retirement from Stanford in 1998 in order to pursue his interest in advancing social equity.
Equity is at Kamala's core
Kamala Harris did not grow up in a red, white and blue American household. Kamala grew up in the home of two committed Marxists. She has heard Marxist philosophy discussed at the dinner table for her entire life. Equity, and the other components of Critical Race Theory, is who Kamala is. She deeply believes that it is the job of the state to make things "fair."
As of Friday, Kamala Harris, who was born of foreign parents and who is more Marxist than Bernie Sanders, was "officially" declared the Democratic Party's 2024 candidate for the office of the presidency by a majority of Democratic Party state delegates.
After winning not a single delegate during the 2020 presidential primaries, and not even being on the ballot during the 2024 primaries, Kamala Harris has successfully subverted democracy to become the Democrats' presidential candidate with a $350 million war chest.
Kamala has always been a radical
Harris has admitted that she was a “radical”
At the height of the BLM riots, Kamala voiced support for “defund the police” in a radio interview in June 2020 amidst nationwide protests for police reform. Harris made her comments just weeks after the death of George Floyd in the custody of a Minneapolis police officer galvanized the “defund” movement among progressive activists. At the time, Harris was six months removed from ending her own presidential campaign and was still two months away from being tapped as Joe Biden’s vice presidential nominee.
At the height of the BLM riots, Kamala raised bail money for lawless thugs, anarchists and communists. Some of those people went on to commit murder.
The above is a 2020 ad created during the BLM riots -- click it -- it's still running.
Kamala has been collecting money for the Minnesota Freedom Fund for for four years. No telling how long it will continue, but you know there's no audit trail.
She absolutely hates guns
“We, who believe that every person should have the freedom to live safe from the terror of gun violence, will finally pass red flag laws, universal background checks, and an assault weapons ban,” Harris said at her first campaign stop after President Joe Biden exited the race. After Australia banned firearm, Harris said:
"Gun violence has terrorized and traumatized so many of our communities in this country and let us be clear, it does not have to be this way. As our friends in Australia have demonstrated."
Kamala recently promised to take executive action to confiscate firearms within the first 100 days of her term.
Everything about her screams "radical"
Documenting all of Kamala's leftists stands would require encyclopedic volumes, but Jesse has a nice summary.
The list of her radical policies includes:
- Endorsed “some form of reparation”
- Co-sponsored legislation to protect illegal immigrants from deportation
- Backed Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All legislation
- Backed banning private health insurance
- Supported giving taxpayer-funded coverage to illegal immigrants
- Supported banning fracking
- Backed defunding the police
- Compared ICE to the KKK
- Wanted to ban plastic straws
- Defended banning offshore drilling
- Wanted to “undo” the Trump administration’s border security, taking 94 executive actions in their first 100 days to rescind nearly every Trump-era measure
- Supported decriminalizing illegal border crossings
- Said she wouldn’t “treat” illegal aliens as “criminals”
- Called for “starting [ICE] from scratch”
- Argued that temporarily closing the border violated federal law
- Raised money for the Minnesota Freedom Fund, a far-left organization that pays to bail out of jail violent criminals, including accused murderers and rapists.
- Supported Los Angeles’s cuts to their police department
- Called efforts to add more police to the streets “wrongheaded thinking”
- Championed the administration’s so-called “Bidenomics” as costs dramatically soared for American families
- Bragged about being a “leader” in the push to “get rid of the cash bail system in America.”
Rehab
Well, the Democrats can't let that stuff hang out there, so, there's a major Internet scrubbing operation underway to rehabilitate the leftist Kamala by cleansing the Internet of as much of Harris' radical past as possible.
One of the fist things that was taken down was the rating of the “most liberal” senator the nonpartisan website GovTrack had given to Kamala Harris back in 2019. GovTrack placed her to the left of committed socialist, Bernie Sanders -- and there's only one thing to the left of a socialist -- a communist. GovTrack may have removed the evaluation, but the Internet is forever.
During a joint press conference on March 24, 2021 President Joe Biden gave Vice President Kamala Harris the special task of overseeing operations at the U.S. Mexico border, an assignment which dubbed Harris “the Border Czar” by Democrats and Republicans alike. While “border czar” is not an official title in the federal government, this was the commonly understood and colloquial name given to Harris’ new responsibility.
As a result, one of Kamala's biggest problems is the invasion of millions of foreigners across the U. S.-Mexico border while she carries the title "Border Czar" hanging around her neck.
Now, it isn't easy turning Harris into Miss USA. She's got a big mouth and a well-documented track record, but overnight, the corporate media elevated Harris to the candidate America has needed all along, and like a Sandra Bullock movie, all they needed to do was remove her glasses, brush out her hair and put her in a better outfit -- and she was transformed from the high school weirdo nerd into the prom queen.
The media’s shift in position regarding Harris has been whiplash-inducing. After all, we were told in 2020 that she had run one of the worst campaigns in modern presidential history -- mechanical, off-putting, unpleasant, incompetent and arrogant. Then we were told that she was one of the worst vice presidents in modern history -- free of accomplishment, running a completely dysfunctional office, with a reputation as a soul-destroying workplace bully with an extraordinary staff turnover.
She's was wildly unpopular, but now all is forgiven. All her oddities -- coconut trees and electric school buses, Venn diagrams and the significance of the passage of time -- are delightful TikTok memes. Her strangely incoherent word salads, topped off with a heavy helping of smugness, are now evidence of her rhetorical brilliance. Her wild hand motions, so reminiscent of a drunken tarmac operator attempting unsuccessfully to usher a jumbo jet toward the gateway, are actually enchanting symptoms of her enthusiasm., and her positional dishonesty -- the fact that she has now shifted virtually every position she ever held -- is not evidence that she is a liar, but that she is astute and clever.
What happened to turn Kamala Harris from a deeply disliked politician (35% approval rating) into an Obama-esque talent (49% approval rating) overnight?
Barack Obama told Joe Biden to quit the race or Kamala was going to drop the 25th Amendment on his butt. Obama put the word out that Kamala had the ball and the entire Democratic Party and all of its allies did a 180. Then, The Media went to work.
Oh, and for the folks that haven't accepted the fact that Obama is running everything, Obama’s campaign mastermind, David Plouffe, just joined Kamala’s presidential campaign as a senior adviser.
