Kamala Harris Gets Primed and Prepped for Failure With Latest Assignment

March 20, 2023 by Sister Toldjah Leave a Comment

When last we left you with Kamala Harris, Joe Biden’s second in charge was busy getting booed during an NCAA men’s basketball tournament game and giving a pep talk to the Howard University Bison men’s team that hit maximum cringe levels at various points after their near-30-point first-round loss to top-seeded Kansas.

And now, with the border crisis she was tasked by Biden to handle two years ago getting even worse, and with nothing much to show as a significant accomplishment over two years into the job, Harris is now being primed and prepped for her latest assignment – maybe her toughest one yet, which is to convince young voters and voters of color to reelect the Biden-Harris team in 2024:

Vice President Kamala Harris is preparing to campaign extensively when President Biden launches his much-anticipated re-election bid, despite concerns in the Democratic Party that her performance in office, criticized by some as uneven, has made her a liability.

Ms. Harris plans to visit urban centers of swing states to persuade Black voters, young people and other liberal constituencies to re-elect Mr. Biden, according to people familiar with discussions about her campaign efforts. She will lead the administration’s advocacy for abortion rights, tout the administration’s climate investments and echo Mr. Biden’s pledge to protect Medicare and Social Security.

Some top Democratic lawmakers and donors have been questioning Ms. Harris’s future behind closed doors for months, saying they don’t think the vice president has used her platform effectively, according to attendees at these events.

To be fair, vice presidents are supposed to be the president’s biggest cheerleaders and it’s considered bad form to try and “outshine” your boss in that regard in an effort to bolster your ideological bonafides.

That being said, in the support role she’s in as Biden’s veep Harris has been a miserable failure, with the ongoing border crisis and her continued embarrassment of this country on a world stage being two notable examples.

But beyond that, something else to keep in mind is that during Harris’ failed run for president, a big reason her 2020 candidacy went nowhere fast is because her support among two core reliably Democratic voting blocs – black voters and female voters – evaporated within a few weeks of the first Democratic primary debate in the summer of 2019.

For instance, a post-second Democratic primary debate poll from Quinnipiac University taken in early August 2019 showed Harris’ support among black Democrats dropping from 27 percent in early July of that year to a mere 1 percent. The same poll showed her support among Democratic women drop from 24 percent in early July to just 7 percent in early August.

Biden, the old white guy, did much better than she did in that same August 2019 poll:

Biden gets 47 percent of black Democrats, with 16 percent for Sanders, 8 percent for Warren and 1 percent for Harris;
Women Democrats go 31 percent for Biden, 24 percent for Warren, 10 percent for Sanders and 7 percent for Harris;

While it’s true that that was just one poll, it was an indicator of things to come. Harris’ campaign never bounced back after that and she threw in the towel in December 2019.

And the problem for Harris now as she gets set to go on the road on behalf of Joe is that even though her failure to gain traction in 2019 was a long time ago from a political perspective, she’s still being viewed in Democratic circles as a political liability for Biden in 2024. Not only that, but in addition to having to convince black and young voters to pull the lever for Biden even as his approval ratings remain well under 50 percent, she’s also got to persuade the Democratic faithful that she herself deserves another four years.

That’s gonna be an extremely tough sell for someone with so little in her vice presidential portfolio to brag about.

Chris Rock Gives Democrats a Warning About Trump’s Arrest They Should Listen To

March 20, 2023 by Brandon Morse Leave a Comment

Normally, when a politician is out of office, their popularity decreases in terms of political viability. Not only do the people see someone losing to their opponent as proof that they’re no longer capable of putting up a good enough fight, but being out of the office keeps him or her out of people’s minds just by nature of being out of the public eye.

Former President Donald Trump is not one of those people. He’s one of the few politicians that actually experienced intense popularity after his loss, and while Democrats can’t seem to understand why, comedian Chris Rock seems to have figured it out.

According to Fox News, Rock was at an event in Washington, D.C., honoring his friend Adam Sandler, when he began going in on former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Biden Administration over the arrest of Donald Trump:

“Are you guys really going to arrest Trump?” Rock asked.

“Do you know this is only going to make him more popular. It’s like arresting Tupac. He’s just gonna sell more records. Are you stupid?” he said as the room laughed.

Rock went on to riff on the circumstances of Trump’s potential indictment, which arose from his relationship with adult film star Stormy Daniels.

“[Trump] f—ing a porn star and paid off someone so his wife couldn’t find out. That’s romantic,” Rock said.

“We’ve all been cheated on. Don’t you wish that the person that cheated on you paid off somebody so you wouldn’t find out?” he added.

Rock understands why Trump’s popularity has had such longevity, and a lot of it comes from the Democrats’ constant attacks on him. After what many see as an illegitimate election in the first place, the constant attacks on Trump only affirm people’s belief that they see him as one of their largest threats, and as such, they see him as an option to defeat them.

Arresting Trump will only confirm their beliefs even further. His arrest will only scratch the itch of leftists who hate them. Everyone else will see this move as a reason to like Trump more. It will only add to his credentials as a man who could defeat the Democrats in the next election.

Moreover, this will increase his status as a D.C. outsider which, after all the corruption of the Biden era, will seem even more appealing to voters who are sick of the status quo.

Rock is correct. The Democrats will only strengthen Trump’s position among the GOP and Independent voters if they arrest him. He will become a living martyr much like many people before him who were arrested by the powers that be for stepping out of their established lines.

When he achieves that kind of status, the Democrats will have a much harder time dealing with him in future elections as any attack on him will only be further confirmation that he’s the guy for them.

While this won’t work on all Republicans, and many will split to vote for their own candidates, should Trump get the Republican nomination, Trump will be all the more difficult to overcome due to their revealing their fears of him.

Report: Joe Manchin Quietly Signals His Next Move

March 17, 2023 by Sister Toldjah Leave a Comment

We’ve written before about how West Virginia Dem Sen. Joe Manchin and the state’s Republican Gov. Jim Justice have been extremely cagey when it comes to questions surrounding their 2024 Senate intentions.

Justice indicated at the end of February that he’d have an answer to the question after March 11, which was the end of the West Virginia legislative session. So an announcement from him on if he’s running for Senate could be imminent.

Manchin stated in an early March interview that he won’t announce anything until the end of the year, and not only would he not endorse President Joe Biden in that same interview but he also wouldn’t rule out a potential presidential run of his own.

All of that, plus other moves Manchin has made in recent weeks (including declining to identify as a Democrat) suggest a man who has already made a decision about his political future who is biding his time until he figures out the right time to strike:

Sen. Joe Manchin III has been distancing himself from President Biden ahead of a possible run as a Democrat in solid red West Virginia even as he plays coy with his reelection intentions.

He has opposed a series of the president’s nominees, is backing GOP efforts to dismantle Mr. Biden’s regulatory agenda and is in a bitter fight with the administration over the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act that he helped write and pass in a party-line vote.

[…]

These days, Mr. Manchin has opposed three nominees in recent weeks, successfully tanking Gigi Sohn’s bid to join the Federal Communications Commission and blocking Interior Department nominee Laura Daniel-Davis with his perch atop the Senate Energy Committee.

It would seem that Manchin is trying to make nice with the West Virginia voters who have abandoned him in droves after he struck a bad deal with a powerful New York Democrat (Chuck Schumer) on the bogusly-named Inflation Reduction Act and came away empty-handed in the process, which I suspect he knows could also play a significant role in his chances for another term in the U.S. Senate.

To reiterate a point I’ve made before, as the old saying goes, the chickens have come home to roost for Joe Manchin. He’s made his political bed, and now he’s having to try and run away from it in hopes that voters will forgive him for his betrayal.

In waiting until later in the year to announce his intentions, Manchin is trying to give himself time to cover his tracks, likely with the thought in mind that voters have short attention spans. But he’s got a lot going against him even if they do, specifically the fact that West Virginia grows redder with each election cycle and now has more registered Republicans than Democrats.

Not only that, but Justice is popular in the state while Manchin is underwater. So the tapdancing away from Joe Biden has commenced, but unfortunately for Manchin it may be too little, too late.

Democrats Turn Backs on Israel as Plurality Now Sympathize With Palestine

March 16, 2023 by Ben Kew Leave a Comment

Democrats are increasingly turning their backs on Israel and the Zionist cause and are rapidly becoming more sympathetic to the state of Palestine, the latest Gallup poll has found.

In a poll conducted last month, nearly half of all Democrats said they are supporters of Palestine, while just 38 percent pledged support for Israel.

The results point to a dramatic shift in opinion in recent years. In 2016, around 53% said they sympathized more with Israelis, while 23% expressed sympathy with the Palestinians.

The shift can be attributed to various factors, but primarily that voters born after 1980 are far more likely to show sympathy for Palestine. Another reason is a change in rhetoric from many Democratic leaders, particularly those on the progressive wing of the party who considers Palestinian sovereignty as a major political issue.

Gallup explains:

Americans’ views on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict have become more polarized as Democrats increasingly commiserate with the Palestinians, while Republicans maintain their solid alignment with the Israelis. The escalation of Israeli-Palestinian hostilities over the past year, resulting in a high number of Palestinians killed, could partly explain the most recent shift in Democrats’ perspective.

But Democrats’ waning religiosity may be a factor in the longer-term trend. Sympathy for Israel has historically been highly correlated with religion, with those attending religious services weekly being much more sympathetic to the Israelis than those who seldom or never attend.

Regardless of the reasons that Democrats’ (and, to a lesser extent, independents’) views have changed on the conflict, majorities of all generational and party groups still view Israel favorably and look more favorably on Israel than on the Palestinian Authority. This suggests that while rank-and-file Democrats may want Palestinians’ needs addressed, they will want solutions that respect Israel’s needs as well.

Republicans, meanwhile, remain far more supportive of Israel. 82 percent of Republicans say they have a positive view of the country as a whole, compared with just 56 percent of Democrats.

Some Israeli officials have also blamed the shift on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who aligned himself closely with former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party following his decision to recognize Jerusalem rather than Tel Aviv as the country’s capital.

Nearly three weeks into his third stint as leader, Netanyahu has yet to receive an invitation to the Biden White House, indicating potential tension between the two sides over his government’s policies.
