In an effort to understand why anyone would want Kamala Harris to be president, I’ve plumbed the depths of what (little) she has said about what she would do as chief executive, commander-in-chief and the boss of everyone.
She rose to the Democratic presidential candidacy without a single vote in two primary elections, so she must be something special.
I mean, Spanky the Clown, a perennial candidate for office in Chicago, got more votes than Kamala in her race to win the presidency.
So, here is my bad faith attempt to understand why some voters love her.
Kamala is not Donald Trump. He’s a bad man. Karmal is a good woman, as qualified to be the Democratic candidate as were Vermin Love Supreme or Jonathon “The Impaler” Sharkey, a vampire.
Vice President Kamala has wisely moved to the political center.
Vice President Kamala has wisely has remained a far-left progressive.
She knows how difficult it is for low-paid workers to survive because she slaved away for one horrible summer in McDonalds.
She’d be the first black, Jamaican, Indian female president. (No, not Indian Indians, I’m talking about American Indians or First Peoples. Which raises the question, how long must an Eskimo-Abenaki-Ojbawa-Aleut person of color wait to be president?)
Kamala is for “a new way forward,” avoiding what Joe Biden couldn’t fix. “We’re not going back,” she proclaimed. She’s a “change agent.”
Kamala said, “There is not a thing that comes to mind” that she would have done differently than Biden. As the “last person in the Oval Office, she approved of Biden’s disastrous and deadly Afghanistan pull-out..
In 2018, Kamala called Trump’s wall a billion-dollar vanity that is “un-American.”
Now she would build the wall along “strategic sections” of the nearly 2,000-mile southwest border.
She supported “Medicare for all” that would replace private health insurance plans.
She doesn’t support “Medicare for all,” her staff says.
Kamala was a “tough prosecutor” as California attorney general.
Kamala supported “defund the police.”
Phew.
There’s more, most of which we can’t puzzle out because she refuses to hold the kind of press conference that traditionally presidential candidates face. That’s much to the shame of most of the press that has given up their historical role as defender of the democratic process.
So much of her “platform” is so general, so laden with clichés and wild promises that it’s a riddle why so many voters seem so determined to see her in the White House. Their support doesn’t flow from reason. (“reason: the thing that makes some fact intelligible, a sufficient ground of explanation or of logical defense, especially, something (such as a principle or law) that supports a conclusion or explains a fact.”)
No, none of that. Emotion is not reason. Joy is not reason.
There is one valid reason to vote for Kamala Harris - -
1. Kamala is not Donald Trump. He’s a bad man.
She's 2, 2, 2 candidates in 1
