Kamala Harris Is Much Worse Than Anyone Ever Thought
All discussion around Joe Biden just 2 months ago was about who senile he was. The debate with Donald Trump laid bare what Democrats in and out of the media had denied for years – that Biden’s senility had overtaken his lifelong stupidity and he is unfit for office. Enter Nancy “Brutus” Pelosi to stab him in the back and insert Kamala Harris to “save the Democratic Party.” Then the public got a good look at her, and Kamala may be worse than Biden.
It's important to remember that Biden has only been going senile for the last 5 to 7 years, he’s been dumb his whole life. What was easily dismissed as him simply being wildly ignorant while completely arrogant, morphed into the terrifying realization that he wasn’t all there anymore. When he crossed that line from simple boob to unaware shell we will never know, he seems to have one foot in each category most of the time, leaning one way or the other depending upon how long ago he’d been given his medicine.
Kamala Harris, on the other hand, has no excuse. She’s not old or going senile, and she’s not noted for being particularly dumb (talk to any Senator who served with Biden and they’ll privately tell you he’s never been smart). What she is known for is being all sizzle and no steak.
There are plenty of people in politics who just do not stand for anything other than their own glory – the not bright, not quite stupid who lean one direction or another, but don’t really believe in anything as a principle, only as a means to an end. That end is always their own glory, their own power.
These people will do anything, say anything, to obtain power. They like the trappings – the people sucking up, the power of God on a small scale, the ability to reward or punish, the sex (yes, politicians have groupies, though most don’t indulge). Many are rich but feel empty; politics is a hobby, a way to pass the time a normal person would need to work, and gives them meaning they can’t find in friends and family.
Where Kamala Harris falls in those categories is anyone’s guess, but one thing is perfectly clear: she does not have any core beliefs and has not done the work to even form them. Why is anyone’s guess, but I suspect it has to do with an ability to skate by without doing it. Most people will do just what is required to get what they want, which is why wildly successful people who work their asses off even after remarkable success are exceedingly rare.
Kamala has dined out on the idea that she’s “historic,” but never that she’s successful. It’s easy to claim accomplishments as an Attorney General, but the work is actually done by prosecutors across the state. Maybe you make a decree, but you’re not running cases and showing up in court every day – you’re a figurehead, an administrator managing people and budgets more than the day-to-day legal arguments (though, especially in high-profile cases, there is a bit of that).
As a Senator, Kamala did nothing, didn’t even really try. She was only there a couple of years, but she had zero bills become law.
Given the chance at some responsibility as Vice President, Harris balked. Don’t call her Border Czar! It’s a major part of the reason there were stories of tension between the Biden people and the Harris people – she wasn’t reading her briefing papers and was not willing to stick her neck out at all and take the risk to get anything done. Things don’t just happen; someone has to take a risk and the responsibility of things don’t work out. Kamala was not willing to accept that last part.
After 30 years in politics and elected office, she still seems to have no idea what she believes in. Every policy statement she’s ever made, no matter how fervently, has been declared inoperative by her current handlers. She is not capable of articulating any vision. Hell, went asked the basic question about how she is feeling about her chances in Pennsylvania, Harris responded (because I can’t use the word “answered,” since it wasn’t one), “I am feeling very good about Pennsylvania because there are a lot of people in Pennsylvania who deserve to be seen and heard. That’s why I’m here in Johnstown, and I will be continuing to travel around the state.”
Honestly, could you imagine a more worthless word salad answer?
You can spot the people who got by on charm and ass-kissing in school by how they answer questions. People who did the work and learned the lessons get to the point as quickly as possible, they know their stuff and can pull out the needed information with little effort.
Then there are the people who didn’t do anything until the night before a test who end up writing overly-long essay answers, adding every little tidbit of information they can remember even tangentially associated with a topic in the hope of either getting partial credit for writing some of the teacher was looking for, or confusing the teacher to the point that they aren’t sure if the question was answered or not and just give them points anyway.
Joe Biden has a heavy dusting of senility over this salad of stupid, Kamala Harris has an empty bowl. She’s not stupid, she’s lazy. The way the Democratic Party is structured – they highlight and elevate things unrelated to accomplishments and abilities – rewards certain, approved types of existence over anything else and enables people to rise without earning it. Do you think Eric Swalwell’s life involves merit? He wears slip-ons because there’s a 50/50 chance he strangles himself when he ties his shoes.
Kamala doesn’t do the work because she’s never had to do the work. She wasn’t chosen as Biden’s VP because of her grasp of the issues she demonstrated against Joe in the primary, she was picked because Democrats love to use the word “historic” as a shield. Why would anyone think she’d be any different now?
When you can’t respond to a basic question about what you’re allegedly running for president to do without rambling on about a fictionalized version of your biography, you have no substance. Kamala Harris has no substance, nothing. She doesn’t even have the sizzle, let alone the steak. She’s sock puppet, interested in the trappings of power for its own sake and the glory that accompanies it. The Vice President has all the access needed to educate herself on all the issues of the day, to be able to speak about them honestly and coherently, she’s simply neglected to do so.
Kamala Harris is much, much worse than any of us ever thought. I challenge anyone to watch this whole interview she just did and come away with any other realization.
