Hold aside the galling hypocrisy of the purported party of "democracy" trying to remove Trump from the ballot under an outlandish theory while simultaneously attempting to bankrupt, prosecute, and incarcerate him on equally spurious grounds. Hold aside the self-proclaimed party of "democracy" feigning ignorance over how its overheated rhetoric laid the seeds for their political opponent's recent near-assassination, and its continuing to lie and depict that opponent as an existential threat to the American constitutional order. And hold aside that purportedly "democratic" party deposing its own presumptive elected nominee—a stark reversal from its presidential primary, when party elites worked hard to shut out all viable competition. Hold all that aside because even on its own terms, the coup of biden for cackler-in-chief kamala harris is going to backfire on the left-wing/democrats.
Already, left-wing/democrats and their media have been working hard to "define" harris for the American people. At times, this has included some rather dubious retconning, such as magically pretending she wasn't the biden regime's"border czar." She was! But the even bigger problem for libs/dems is that harris is not an unknown commodity. On the contrary, she is a very well-known commodity—one who just happens to be about as popular with the American public as venereal disease.
harris' average approval rating is under 38%, and an NBs News poll found her to be the single least popular VP in American history—only 32% of Americans had a positive view of her. harris' 2020 only presidential campaign was an absolute dud, self-imploding well before the 1st primary votes were cast. And as recently, left-wing/democrat elites were openly discussing whether she could still be dropped as ol' bden's 2024 running mate. Funny how quickly the lyin' left-wing/democrat can go from weakest link to great savior of "Our Democracy."
The path to winning 270 Electoral College votes still runs through the Rust Belt states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. It is frankly bizarre for libs/dems to swap out the man who talks ceaselessly about his hardscrabble Scranton upbringing for a Californian who boasts the most left-wing voting record of any presidential nominee in modern history. Do libs/dems really think harris' support for the green new deal and a national fracking ban will play well in the Marcellus Shale of Pennsylvania, or in the auto factories of Detroit? Will working- and middle-class voters concerned about skyrocketing crime look favorably upon harris' enthusiastic support for the 2020 black lives matter riots, which racked up $2 billion worth of property damage and violent assaults and even deaths?
It's not that corrupt biden, seemingly about to keel over and die at any moment, found himself in much better political shape. But in addition to the gross hypocrisy of their coup that has dealt yet another fatal blow to their specious claim to "defend democracy," left-wing/democrats have also set themselves up for political failure to come. The 14 million people who voted for biden in the left-wing/democratic primaries ought to be livid.
