How do accomplished radicals elect a mediocre far-left presidential candidate?
The task might at first seem impossible.
Kamala Harris is currently a radical incumbent vice president. For more than three years, she was second in command to an unprecedentedly unliked Democrat president, his failed policies, and his unpopular record.
Harris herself had compiled a hard-left trail over her own entire career while loudly boasting indiscreetly to leftist audiences of being proudly « woke » and « radical. »
Most challenging for a Harris candidacy makeover was the long, entrenched Democratic Party’s reluctance to remove a debilitated President Joe Biden from the Democratic ticket.
Why?
Because Harris was deemed such a liability that she had become a Spiro Agnew-like insurance policy for a failing Biden.
Until just recently, Democrats had considered an unpopular and enfeebled Biden nonetheless far preferable to an incoherent, lightweight, and widely ridiculed potential replacement Vice President Harris.
After all, she had never before entered a presidential primary. She never won a single delegate by voting. She failed miserably as a candidate in 2020.
And she co-owns the unpopular record of an even more unpopular president.
The complete Harris makeover requires 15 radical rules followed to the letter:
1. Remake Harris as an entirely fresh happy face. She’s about joy and vibe — which trumps position papers and policy statements. Banish all thoughts that she is an incumbent vice president and co-owns the last four years of the Biden administration.
2. Ignore/deny that Harris as vice president could have long ago enacted her new makeover proposal — or could do so right now in the remaining five months of her administration’s tenure.
