Harris’ attempts at desperate talking points are failing to persuade anyone.

As Vice President Kamala Harris faces a decline in the polls, the Democratic National Committee/Harris campaign/mainstream media fusion talking points become increasingly outlandish.

Attempting to portray J.D. Vance and Donald Trump as “weird” was ineffective, especially given the unique behaviors of vice presidential candidate Tim Walz and would-be First Gentleman Doug Emhoff.

The subsequent Harris meme claiming that the constantly active Trump was “exhausted,” “senile,” and “confused” fell flat as voters are aware of Harris’ shorter workdays or sometimes lack thereof.

However, Harris also falsely asserted that President Joe Biden, who faces physical and mental challenges, was “absolutely authoritative” and “very bold and vibrant.”

Now Harris is declaring that Trump is a “fascist,” a “dictator,” and “unfit” for office.

However, this new talking point is unlikely to halt the decline of the Harris campaign, for various reasons.

Firstly, voters view the election as a clash of two completely opposite visions.

One side presents the concrete achievements of Trump’s presidency from 2017-2020, while the other reflects the actions of the Biden-Harris administration from 2021-2024.

Secondly, Harris’ recent shifts in political stances and positions may come across as insincere to voters.

Thirdly, attempts to characterize Trump as a fascist and unfit lack credibility when compared to the behaviors and actions of the Biden-Harris administration.

Ultimately, the election will be decided based on which candidate’s record and agenda resonate most with voters and who appears more authentic and genuine.
