Yup, that’s right, you heard things correctly. Despite all the mainstream media propaganda, the Democrats are the ones making three yuge mistakes since Vice President Kamala Harris leaped into the ring to replace the old, senile, and broken-down Biden.
First, Kamala Harris and the Democrats just can’t seem to quit their campaign attack on Donald Trump for being the devil. Meaning, they continue to portray Trump as a man who is a particularly corrupt and crude barbarian crook who abuses women and hates minorities and wants to overthrow America’s democratic society in favor of a dictatorship.
The problem for the Democrats is that although this attack does work to rev up the base, it doesn’t work on anyone else, most especially the actual swing voters the Democrats will need to persuade to vote for Harris to win the 2024 election. These swing voters have heard this argument repeated before – really, ad nauseum since 2015 – and have already seen a Trump presidency in action, so they know that it is ridiculous partisan BS.
Second, Kamala Harris and her campaign are not doing enough to separate her from President Joe Biden and his administration. As the vice president for Biden, she is intrinsically tied to his administration and his left-wing policies. For that reason, during a year when that administration and its policies are resoundingly unpopular, it is imperative that she criticize Biden or otherwise separate herself from him in some significant way. Instead, Harris is just ignoring this problem and pretending that she had no power or responsibilities during the Biden administration.
Third, Kamala Harris and her campaign team chose unbelievably poorly for her vice-presidential nominee. The ironclad rule of choosing a vice-presidential running mate is, first, DO NO HARM. Here, she chose a man – Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota – who DOES HARM. Walz routinely and egregiously lied and dissembled about his “war record” to try and help himself politically, first when running for Congress, then when running for governor and now while advertising himself as the nominee for vice president. And now, Walz has been finally caught.
Contrary to Democrat hopes, this stolen valor issue is easy to understand, and it is serious enough that it is not going to go away.
