Kamala’s campaign strategically times its way into office.

The entire 105-day presidential campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris has been characterized by a cynical approach of running out the clock ever since President Joe Biden dropped out in July.

It seems that Harris is unwilling or unable to answer spontaneous questions that she hasn’t been prepared for in advance.

Her debate responses were memorized and scripted, failing to directly address the questions posed.

During her 11-minute post-debate interview in Philadelphia, Harris evaded and misled, even with a sympathetic left-wing host.

Even Bernie Sanders noted that for Harris to win the election, she must distance herself temporarily from her lifelong leftist beliefs.

As vice president, she must disavow her connection to the unpopular policies of the Biden-Harris administration.

Unspoken is the fact that whether she wins the presidency or continues as vice president, she will likely return to her leftist beliefs after the election cycle.

Furthermore, Harris has reinvented her privileged upbringing as a narrative of a middle-class childhood in Oakland, despite her upbringing in a comfortable Montreal neighborhood with two parents holding PhDs.

She avoids news conferences, national interviews, and town halls, only participating in debates on favorable platforms with pro-Harris moderators.

When questioned about her past responsibilities, Harris deflects, emphasizing her personality, campaign themes, and identity as a dynamic black woman.

She relies on campaign surrogates and the media to defend against criticisms and contradictions, rather than addressing them directly.

Harris is not campaigning on her experience or vision, but rather on being anti-Trump and anti-Biden.

To accentuate this distinction, Harris vilifies and fearmongers about Trump, painting him as a threat to democracy while ignoring the successes of his presidency.

Refusing to engage in public dialogue, Harris relies on media coverage and maintains a strategic ambiguity about her politics and biography.

The Democratic coronation of Harris as the candidate without a primary election disenfranchised millions of voters, perpetuating a pattern of deceptive campaigns aimed at misleading the public until after being elected.

By avoiding scrutiny and manipulating the media, Harris hopes to secure victory, but at the cost of undermining democracy in the process.
