Biden should not have dumped this into the lap of Harris, but she did make a strong statement yesterday. Possibly looking towards building a resume for 2024 for being tough on illegal immigration.
Actually, in terms of political strategy, Biden should dump all of this on Kamala Harris' plate.
In most cases, a POTUS contender will not split their ticket with someone who can actually threaten their standing and position and potential for reelection.
Nikki Haley will look a lot harder at Dan Crenshaw in 2024 to be her Vice President than Ron De Santis. De Santis can actually threaten to become POTUS one day. He's valuable in his current position to hold Florida and provide a counter narrative against both the pandemic and the Border Crisis pathetic spin used by the left leaning MSM. Crenshaw gives her the military vote and he's close to impossible to "cancel" He also gives her actual policy and tactical experience in terms of the coming war with China. But Crenshaw is no longer in a position to take the ticket by himself. And, critically, he appeals immediately to Trump's MAGA base and to rural white Christian America.
Harris can actually challenge Biden for POTUS. She openly said in the primary debates that she believes he sexually assaulted women and he's a racist. And you want my real opinion? He's actually a racist. She's not wrong. Anyone here can disagree, but his entire track record with Black America is horrific. I'm pretty sure Biden speaking glowingly about KKK leader Robert Byrd would have gotten lots of other people cancelled. But hey, it's
(D)ifferent.
Biden and Harris are only on the same "side" when they line up against Trump or the GOP or AOC's Progressives. Internally, they have no reason to do each other any favors.
It doesn't even have to be hard to tank her. Simply put Kamala Harris in a position where she is FORCED to engage the press on an issue even the left leaning propaganda MSM can't hide for her. She's a terribly incompetent public speaker for her level of politics and current station. If someone wants to post a new thread with a video of her giving a speech, and asks me civilly, I can break down every last detail where she fails as an orator. I mean a complete crash and burn on a optically pathetic level.
Harris has no "resume". She was short listed with Gretchen Whitmer and Susan Rice for VP because she was a liberal black women, with the right aesthetic, at the time, given the current situation of the 2020 cycle.
She was cast the way actors are cast in a movie. This movie was "
Identity Politics - The Death Of Actual Freedom" She wants to have a sequel in 2024 called "
2 Identity 2 Politics - Your Children And Generations To Come Will Be Purified For Wrongthink"
If you look closely at the Identity Politics Playbook, a key component is the assignment of blame, not actual problem solving. Whites are so racist and it's their fault. Donald Trump is the reason why WW2, COVID19 and the failures of the Buffalo Bill in the Super Bowl happened. All police officers are racist bigots and murderers. If you are a Conservative and we don't like what you say, it's not our actions to be questioned, you need to be doxxed and lose your job. Did you speak up against us? So we need to go back 30-40 years in your life and find someone who kind of remembers you and then we can destroy your life, demonetize you, deplatform you and convince everyone you should be purified.
So why is it a surprise that Kamala Harris left with this steaming pile of ..... disaster and crisis that violates basic human dignity?
I get why Trump is a disaster zone all by his foot in mouth grifter self. But some of you voted for all of this madness. I don't blame the traditional liberals, they were dragged along for the brutal ride by some of you radical woked out simping cancel culture lefty zealots. So you get to eat all of it. You get to savor all the moments that you gloated while America died slowly all around you.
