The Perfect Candidate

There is something special about Kamala Harris

You just have to figure out what it is for yourself.

She really is the perfect candidate:
zero depth, adjustable identity
You're black? She's is, too.
You're Caribbean? She is, too.
You're Asian? She is, too.
You're Indian? She is, too.
You're a mom? She is, too.
You don't have kids? She doesn't either.

The people have spoken, and last week former President Barack Obama called Vice President Kamala Harris to tell her. His endorsement of her run for the presidency was captured in a short video documenting the candidate’s reaction. “Although you called for an open process,” said Obama, “and you know, Democrats have, have put in place an open process, it appears that people feel very strongly that you need to be our nominee.”
But without a primary, without a popular referendum, without even the open convention that Obama was rumored to favor, how did the people make their will known, and strongly? Was it social media influencers? Mass rallies across the country? Media chronicling the excitement surrounding a Harris candidacy? No, it was nothing like that. Obama is the people. The people are Obama.

The endorsement was more than five years in the making. Obama had long wanted her in that spot. Their families are old friends. Like him, Harris is progressive, multiracial, physically attractive, nominally hip, a child of academics—in other words, according to Obama-friendly media, she’s a “female Barack Obama.” He directed donors to support her 2020 presidential campaign, Capitol Hill sources told me at the time. More billionaires, 47, backed her campaign than any other candidate’s—with Obama strongholds in Hollywood (Steven Spielberg and George Lucas) and Big Tech (Reid Hoffman, Laurene Powell Jobs, Craig Newmark, etc.) leading the way.
Obama got her the vice presidential nod even when she was forced to drop out of the primary race after hitting just 3 percent in the polls. Jill Biden objected—Harris had called her husband a racist! The First Lady’s reported recent tantrums show that even after four years, she never fully grasped the arrangement the party had made with her husband. Biden was just an imperfect placeholder for Obama, and it was only a matter of time before the superior avatar would be slotted in.

He the People How Barack Obama ended normalcy in American politics
by Lee Smith July 29, 2024

You might want to read the whole piece. You might not agree with all the details, but there are certainly a lot of details to consider.

The truth is that an American political faction is employing third-world tactics—surveillance, censorship, election interference, political prosecution, and political violence—to put the United States under the thumb of a single party led by a man who in his mind has become the people.

A manufactured candidate?

It took about five minutes after Kamala was foisted on a class of political professionals and party veterans who openly disdained her until that moment to realize she was a kind of lab-grown next generation politics bot.

Kamala might just be successful and usher in a new regime of retarded, vibes-based politics where politicians are memetic spectacles, have no platform, make no promises, hold no opinions, but are explicitly aligned with (and captured by) this or that set of powerful interests who will be the ones actually doing politics opaquely out of public view. This arrangement worked well with Biden except that he reminded everyone of death and dementia every time they looked at him and he was nostalgic for organized labor. The trick was to find someone with the superficial surface appeal of Obama but who was 40 IQ points stupider, more cynical, and who had no thoughts of their own.

So, how do we keep this election about real issues?

I keep hearing that Kamala's campaign is off to a great start and she has transformed into a better candidate than anyone expected. And yet Kamala hasn't done or even said anything. She hasn't had a clever moment, a great speech, an innovative policy idea. She hasn't had substance or even style. The "transformation" is happening entirely and solely in the media. Kamala is the same Kamala she's always been. What we've witnessed is the media figuring out a new branding strategy in real time.

Who, exactly, is running the administration?

And which reporter will ask Kamala some in-depth questions about Biden's mental acuity?

Joe Biden climbed back up the stairs of an airplane he wasn't supposed to be on, as Kamala Harris and the Secret Service watched in disbelief. He clearly has no idea where he is or what he's doing. h/t @ianmSC pic.twitter.com/O82qcXyRzu

Last week's thread, July 27, Things fall apart

Things continued to fall apart at the Olympics and elsewhere.

Britain is coming apart at the seams
Weeks of unrest have revealed tensions, anger and a collapse in social trust that can no longer be ignored.

Oilfield Rando:

Just imagine a junkie career criminal named George just died and it'll seem a lot more acceptable for some reason

I'm sorry, but we established the precedent that an aggrieved group is allowed to burn and loot without consequence when a perceived outsider takes the life of one of their own.
I won't be bothered if "far right" Englishmen tear that entire island apart

The famous teacher Miss Snuffy recommends two books to help British parents help their kids psychologically.

52 From Brenden Dilley:

Kamala Harris is running an online astroturf campaign.

We can all see it. Hell, she'd probably admit that she's doing it.

The problem is that it's only August 1st, and the American public has an attention span that lasts at maximum a week (and that's if you were shot in the ear).

Many of my fellow MAGA influencers and their followers have fallen into the prisoner of the moment syndrome. They see a rise in popularity from this astroturf campaign and think it's perpetual.

It's not. The American psyche can only give a shit so much and for so long. They hyperventilate, overreact, and make bold predictions and declarations based on that moment.

They're like children.

However, astroturfing eventually grows tiresome and annoying to a fickle public that demands new and original ideas and stimuli.

Eventually, the mojo wears off, and the public turns their attention back to the most basic of fundamental truths in 2024. Illegal immigrants are stealing jobs from blacks, draining the system, and receiving disproportionate assistance to struggling Americans.

Both raised outside the US

Both left wing senators from deep blue states
Both lawyers

Posted by: Croix at August 03, 2024 11:38 AM (YVxae)

54 Eventually, the American electorate must go back to the grocery store, shop for school supplies, and pay for costly car and home repairs.

When this happens, all of the money spent on the astroturf campaign and its messaging goes down the toilet. Kamala Harris has participated in the destruction of our economy and way of life and has no plans to course correct.

Elections are like horse races, and Donald Trump has proven himself to be "Secretariat." Patient. Strong. Refined. A champion.

65 Under military commissions law of 2009 the SecDef is ultimate convening authority, and only delegates it to others. So this act was merely returning the authority to himself. The full and inside story of how these plea deals came to be could be amazing (well, these days, nothing idiotic or degrading or reckless is other than routine, but still). Could be a typical current horror show of cluelessness, or a boring tale. But unlikely we'll ever get it.

68 55. The entire thing is political. Why these three are still breathing air 23 years later is a travesty. I’m guessing Austin knew about the plea deal and approved it until the blowback was swift and forceful and it was another threat to Harris campaign. Hence, the immediate 180.

71 Who is running this administration at the moment ? my guess there is a secret agreement delegating/bestowing Executive Presidential Powers upon various secretaries - Austin, Blinken and a number of others. The Fed government is now run by a committee, which means analysis paralysis, special interests of each (fully on display in releasing KSM (!), and one hand has no clue what the other is messing up. So somebody in Austin's fiefdom (with Austin's knowledge) decided to release the arch terrorists for good behavior, and then the others got wind of it via the press ! and got angry and made him reverse. This Austin dude a few months back did not bother to tell Biden's circle that he would be incapacitated due to surgery

Both have a non-American parents
Both raised outside the US
Both multi racial
Both left wing senators from deep blue states
Both lawyers
They’re within a couple of years, the same age

There’s definitely a template for whomever is running things.

79 Britain is coming apart at the seams
Weeks of unrest have revealed tensions, anger and a collapse in social trust that can no longer be ignored.

Britain is establishing a simple policing principle - Muslims and other People of Color are allowed to riot to their heart's content.

Meanwhile, every coercive mechanism of the State - billy clubs, facial recognition, et. al. will be deployed when white people riot.

A friend of mine in England no longer dares to go into Central London on Saturdays, because that's when the massive pro-Hamas demonstrations take place, and he's Jewish.

Turning Central London into a Jew-free zone one day a week is perfectly acceptable to the British government.

80 That Lee Smith article is very good. Our First Citizen really is still running things. Another article linked here recently was good too. About Kamala's "plausibility". The point is not that she actually gets enough votes to win. The point is that Ds create enough votes for her to win, then dare the GOP, and America, to contest it. Her "plausibility" as first women, a minority, a caption of reproductive rights, as the younger alternative to crafty old Don...these will be the rationalizations offered for the historic turnout, for the odd, unprecedented statistical anamolues that lead to her election. It'll be just "plausible" enough that may all that happened and broke her way. Only the mist churlish, the craziest, will argue against tbat.

Okay, an assessment of the three part series on the murder of a young woman which could give Shapiro a ton of trouble. She had a lot of bruises on her body, some old, some new, indicating some pattern of conflict. There's no way that someone self inflicts 20 knife wounds to themselves. The coroner changed his assessment of her cause of death from homicide to suicide three months later. Someone did something.

The names of the key characters in this case? Shapiro, victim Greenberg, and fiance Goldberg. Make of the names as you may.

I haven't started part two of my search but there seems to be an implication of a relationship between the Goldberg family and Shapiro.

There is a text message from a cop that someone (presumably Crooks) followed behind him to the AGR building and mentioned he saw Crooks notice the cop took a rifle out of his car. Seems to indicate that Crooks drove and parked in the AGR parking lot.

Let’s be clear. Ellen Greenberg’s case was kicked because an anonymous viewer of my YouTube channel informed me that then Attorney General Josh Shapiro is personal friends with a family member of Sam Goldberg, Ellen Greenberg’s fiancé and the person I believe should have been investigators’ prime suspect in a murder investigation. Once the relationship was discovered, Shapiro had no choice but to stop his part in the cover-up and refer the case out. It eventually, and conveniently, landed on the desk of another Democrat raised on the Main Line with high electoral aspirations, Chester County District Attorney Deb Ryan.

As USA USA no longer has borders, and as borders are a necessary part of any nation-state, the 2024 election is mainly about where the new borders will be drawn.

305 90% of her staffers leave, is that just lackeys she feel ok bullying or higher ups in her organizations? Because someone like Plouffe, or god forbid Axelrod, will not put up with her nonsense.

Probably just people she views as underlings. Either SanFranpsycho or SFGoth worked for her when she was DA and could better answer the question.

The problem they have is that while we hate him and all he represents Obama was a good politician. Harris is a terrible politician. Every time she speaks without a teleprompter something stupid comes out.

I don't think the hide in the basement strategy is going to work this time. At some point she is going to have to stop running away from questions and answer them.

310 Elected leaders are a product of their voters. Kamala and Obama do well because, sadly, the people want that shit. In 2008 nobody who voted for Obama gave a shit about his tax policy or views on the Middle East. They just wanted to vote for the cool young black guy and make history.

This is why I've lost faith in "Democracy". The necessary elements - a reasonably educated electorate as well as it being reasonably virtuous - have been deliberately removed. Without those elements all the vote does is give legitimacy to charlatans.

317 I have to say that this bit of propaganda in the Bing New feed, supposedly from "Business Insider" made me laugh:

"Jimmy Carter, nearing his 100th birthday, has recently become 'more alert' and is eager to vote for Kamala Harris"

I think they should also issue reports from long dead people, such as "Benjamin Harrison sends a message by Ouija board, 'Vote for Kamala Harris'"

Of course he was the guy that gave us the Ayatollah Khomeini when he refused to back the Shah in is fight against the extremist fundamentalists in Iran. Prior to Jimmy's betrayal Iran was our staunchest ally in the Middle East. Now they're humanities greatest threat. Thanks Jimmy. You POS.

The U.S. Embassy in Beirut states that Americans still in Lebanon should attempt to Purchase any Airline Ticket that they can, even if it does not Immediately Depart or fly to your Intended Destination, with Repatriation Loans being Offered through the Embassy to those who are who are unable to Afford a Flight. The Embassy further states that U.S. Military-Assisted Evacuations are Rare and should not be Expected, though Americans should be prepared for if they are Ordered.

325 When I read these links to older threads (as in this post), the comments are always there at the bottom. When I use the archive links in the right sidebar, I just get the story with no commentary. When I click the ‘view comments’ link at the bottom of the archived story, I get nothing but a continuous loading and they never actually load.

How do I view old stories with the commentary?

Advo, I have the same problem, I assumed it was a Mac thing. Maybe not. I found the archived links look different than the links on the main page, once archived they change. I had to do a trick to the URLs to access old archived comments, but I can't remember what I did. I had to change the web address each time and change the numbers in the address.

You swing the hammer from the elbow, leaving your upper arm stationary.

331 Patriots, Let’s start thinking about proactive pre and post election measures.

We have over 400,000 Army and Air National Guard members.

Can governors of battleground states pre-authorize tens of thousands of them in early November to monitor election security in order to minimize democrat voter fraud in Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Detroit, etc., etc.?

And if those patriots are successful from thwarting another 3am vote surge can they provide additional week/month(?)-long security to prevent the “mostly peaceful protesters” from causing deaths, assaults, and billions and billions of dollars of needless destruction?

Democracy has been dead since the 1960 election. If Kennedy "stole" it and Nixon did not protest, then it wasn't the people's decision. Just as 2020 was no better than Maduro, and if Kamala steals it in 2024 we'd better be resigned to re-education as they will be sure to move swiftly
