Listening to the Strategies of Martha's Vineyard Democrats Is a Sure Path to Disaster
If you want to learn how to appeal to rural voters, you should ASK a rural voter
Hello friends,
Everybody knows that there's been an appalling double standard since the beginning of this election cycle. It applied when it was Biden versus the criminal overlord, and the media has only become more unfair, misogynistic, racist, and untruthful now that it's Kamala (Karma-la) versus the predator.
I think the biggest mistake anyone can make right now is treating this contest like it's a “normal” election. It's not normal to have a convicted felon running for the most powerful position in the world. It's not normal to hand over power to an adjudicated rapist.
The country has lost its damn mind, and everybody seems to conveniently forget that our electoral system is rigged to heavily favor white supremacists. The vote is going to come down to anything between 6 and 15 backwards and ignorant rural counties in swing states. That's why white supremacists always flash you that pedo smile when you start trying to talk reason. They KNOW that reason isn't part of this process.
I get that some people are curious to hear more about Vice President Harris's policies. Yes, I'm curious too. I expect I'll even disagree with her on some of them. Generally I prefer a president to be unapologetically progressive, but I'm practical enough to know that it's close to impossible for progressives to win the office because of all the lies and misinformation that are constantly spewed by the media.
Lately, I've been seeing people hitting the panic button and attempting to claim that Harris is “going to lose” because she went for the take down at the debate rather than focusing on the swing voters.
Okay, what? Let's unpack this.
First of all, yes, I agree with people who say that we should learn more about Harris's policies. But I don't think Harris is to blame for that. Harris is clear about her policies. She has plans. Just go check the “issues” page on her website.
The media could do this rather than sitting around with their collective thumb up their asses and whining their lies about how they “don't know anything” about Kamala. But they're too busy spreading baseless hate rumors designed to incite violence that JD Vance cooked up in the afterglow of raping his couch.
You want to talk about policy? Here's a policy, Kamala Harris wants to protect the Constitution. Her opponent wants to suspend it. We don't need any more nuance than that. That's the issue. That's what the American people need to know.
If you like the Constitution, vote for Harris. By the way, the 2nd Amendment is part of the Constitution. When agent orange called to suspend the Constitution, there was no asterisk where he added “uh... except the 2nd Amendment.” When the Constitution is gone, the whole thing is gone! Get that through your heads.
When it comes to the GOP, there is no policy. There's nothing. There's zero. They claim they have “concepts of a plan” and I don't think they even have that much. The people who support the GOP seem to be content with that.
So tell me, in what universe does it make sense that the way to attract more swing voters is to go into lengthy, boring discussions about policy?
Did any of you watch the clips from the GOP convention? They had professional wrestlers ripping off their shirts and flexing. It was a scene from Idiocracy. Meanwhile, policy was discussed at the DNC convention.
Presumably, the “undecided swing voters” are somewhere in the middle of these two extremes. Right? Right? Why then are the ivy league strategists who live in gated communities pressuring Kamala to go to the left of what appeared at the DNC convention?
I realize that I'm just an ignorant rube who grew up in an unincorporated town with a graduating class of just over 100 people, but it seems to me that if you want to appeal to the middle, you have to go to the middle.
The GOP convention was literally a smack down. That appeals to that voter base. Therefore a nice balance of smack down and policy seems like a pretty smart strategy. That's the strategy Harris brilliantly employed at the debate, and even the people who don't like her are having a hard time admitting that she didn't completely dominate. When you have to resort to lies about getting the questions in advance and using ear pieces, you're admitting that your candidate looked incompetent and unprepared.
Now we've got all these rich people who delusionally believe they're completely insulated from all the dangers of an authoritarian regime (go and read some history... this is more dangerous than you recognize). The thing entitled ivy league jerks hate more than anything else is having some working class person be proven right. So, under the guise of “helping” the campaign, they're hitting the panic button. But the truth is that they only want attention for themselves, and they're giving some awful advice.
This double standard where the media tells Harris she must “focus on policy” while they gleefully report every insult and attack that is excreted out of nepo baby sphincter mouth is simply appalling to witness.
At this point, you'd have to be a complete dolt to believe anything the mainstream media prints. They haven't even tried to hide the fact that they're working to get an authoritarian regime installed in America. They've completely surrendered any journalistic integrity. The second somebody so much as sets a mouse trap at mar-a-lago they call it an “assassination attempt” in an effort to cover up the dozen or more federal crimes committed by insurrectionists on a daily basis.
These are the people you're going to listen to when it comes to election strategy?
“Well, Kamala Harris should be focused on policy...”
Maybe they're only saying that because she's spanking her opponent so hard that his ass is as red as his face.
Then they turn around and point to the polls that suggest Harris is losing support with undecided voters.
Well, where did these polls originate? This is basic academic inquiry. We don’t have to accept that they’re valid without examining the origin.
Yeah, it turns out these polls were whipped up by the same media that are openly working to install the dictator candidate. You believe that crap?
How many times do you have to watch a mainstream media network interview an “undecided voter” only to recognize within 2 seconds that the individual is a GOP operative? The networks don't allow true undecided voters onto the television. That would mean surrendering the control of the narrative. They won't do that.
The polls are all bullshit. Think about it. When was the last time you answered a poll? As for me, I've gotten hundreds of texts and dozens of phone calls. I don't respond to any of them because I don't want to get on some GOP hit list. They’re violent. They stormed the Capitol. They call in bomb threats. I'm not the only one who thinks like this.
When was the last time you saw a news report examining the integrity of our polling system? Heck, many of our “polling experts” have demonstrated without a shadow of a doubt that they've got their thumb on the scale to support the authoritarian takeover.
Our country is filled with cowards who have managed to scrap their way into positions of power and now they're obediently sitting on their haunches and begging for a treat. They aren't going to get it. If the dictator (his words) comes to power it will go bad for them, but unfortunately nobody will be able to say “I told you so” because it will ALSO being going badly for THE REST OF US!
The undecided voters in this country who are content with NO POLICY are not going to have their minds changed by policy. The key to this election is for Harris to demonstrate the CRIMINALITY of her opponent.
Policy? Are you kidding me?
I suspect that people whispering to Harris that she must talk about policy are people who actually want her to lose. It worked with Clinton.
But all that being said, the policy is there. Go and read it. But don't you dare treat this as if it's a normal election. The thing you have to understand is that ultimately we're making a choice as to whether we want to preserve the Constitution, or let the GOP use it as toilet paper.
People pressuring Kamala to focus on policy rather than emphasize the crimes of her opponent WANT HER TO LOSE!
Kamala's policy is to respect the oath of office. That's the only policy that matters right now.
Do you really think the thing the country needs right now is EVEN MORE of letting powerful criminals off the hook? I don’t.

Thanks for the post, Walter. I care about whatever plans and policies Kamala Harris has for the future of America, but none of that stuff matters at the moment. I'll unpack all of that after she wins. Only two things truly matter to me right now. One is, obviously, that Kamala gets enough votes to keep that narcissistic, democracy-hating, Putin-loving, convicted felon out of the White House. And, the second is that we voters give our new president a Congress that will work with her. I do not believe it is an overstatement to say, accomplishing these goals amounts to saving our democracy from the immediate danger posed by her felonious opponent. As an American, what more worthy goal could there be?
Agree, the media often run or owned by white supremacists are there to make Trump look more sane.
Sane-washing.
