A Guide to the Perplexed: What about Kamala Harris?
A Response to a Dear Old Friend about the Kamala Harris Phenomenon
Understanding Who Is the Presumed Democratic Nominee
Given the apparent massive media support of Kamala Harris following Biden’s withdrawal, many clap their hands like obedient seals. But some people see this as an inverse version of Shakespeare’s “He protests too much”.
“They praise too much,” me thinks. In this case, some wonder, how is it that she gets so much support given here remarkably thin resume.
So this short and simple article explores how she got started, and what we can expect from her policies in the event she becomes president.
It Pays to be Pretty
It appears she leveraged her affair with SF Mayor Willie Brown to advance her career.
How Does Her Father, with a Leftist Background, Feel about Her?
Her father has disassociated himself from her use of identity politics. What’s more, she prosecuted people over marijuana while smoking it herself!

Identity Politics—What a Surprise
Black Lives Matter feels she is just using her dark skin as identity politics.
We have no idea where Kamala Harris stands on the issues.” The group called for a “virtual snap primary” that would give voters a chance to voice their preferences and concerns. Bernie Sanders famously argued that “it is not good enough for somebody to say, I’m a woman; vote for me.”

Tulsi Gabbard’s 2 Minute Take Down of the Harris Campaign
Tulsi Gabbard exposed Kamala Harris’s abuses when she was attorney general in California. Harris could not refute the accusations, only bragging about vague reform of the criminal justice system. Harris used her position as a prosecutor for her own political benefit.
Kamala Harris and Her Lockstep Nonquestioning of the US role in Ukraine
Kamala Harris’s position on Ukraine is ‘the official US position’ which is based on provable lies. I have been writing about Ukraine since 2015. She parrots the charge:
“Harris broke it down: 'Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine so basically that's wrong.'
'It goes against everything that we stand for there are terms that we use we say we respect the sovereignty the territorial integrity of countries, right? their independence. Russia has gone into Ukraine militarily unprovoked, with no justification other than to exercise its power to take over another country.'
The reality is the exact opposite!
The US whines about protecting Ukraine’s sovereignty, when it was the US that overthrew its democratically elected president, and inserted numerous US and CIA operatives who direct Ukraine’s policies, while buying up its resources for pennies.
Joe Biden under the orders of Barak Obama planned and executed a violent coup against the democratically elected president of Ukraine. Since 2014, the people of Eastern Ukraine, who are ethnic Russians and who speak Russian, resisted the coup. The US under both Obama, Trump and Biden have armed and funded Ukraine in order to weaken and eventually break up Russia to get its resources. And Kamala Harris is fully on board with that.
I wrote two extensive articles fully documenting the outrageous actions of successive US administrations.
The Pacifist's Dilemma, what if the war comes to you?
The videos I include in this fairly recent article go back to 2014. The US has been fully supportive of a ruthless corrupt regime.
No More Games, No More Delusions
This earlier article also gives important historical context to how the Ukraine crisis came about.
Kamala’s Position on Gaza
This sums it up well. Typical of politicians, she says one thing while intending the exact opposite.
“It’s so sad that you’re getting bombed, poor Gaza, but to be fair to Israel, here are more bombs.”
Kamala Harris as a Politician and Candidate for President.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Results_of_the_2020_Democratic_Party_presidential_primaries
Kamala Harris withdrew her campaign from the nomination process on December 3, 2019, she was one of the first to drop out. So why would Joe Biden pick her as Vice President, given her lack of success in the Primaries, and her early withdrawal from the race?
Most likely answer: Skin color and dutiful party hack.
Conclusion:
Kamala Harris is –ironically and humorously—a colorless candidate. She has no depth of thought, she’s just another careerist political opportunist who will do what the oligarchs who actually make decisions in our country tell her to do.
She was picked by Biden presumably, who also, let me remind you, was shoe horned into winning the nomination over Bernie Sanders, who was far more popular, because he addressed people’s real concerns.
Biden has been a 47 year long supporter of those people. He created policies that
· Made it impossible to discharge student debt
· Increased penalties for drugs resulting in a huge increase in African Americans in prison
· Supported every illegal war that the US has been involved with, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, for example
· He personally supervised the Ukraine coup, which used actual descendants of Ukrainian Nazi collaborators who carried out terrible atrocities against Poles, Jews, Russians and Ukrainians who support the fight against Germany
· He supports Israel’s 75 year long repression of the Palestinians and despite some crocodile tears, supplies weapons that have killed way over 100,000 Palestinians in just the most recent attack on Gaza
I see very little likelihood of Kamala Harris acting any differently. Instead, the major media glamorizes her image rather than taking her to task about the serious systemic problems our country faces.
Many otherwise intelligent people, who should know better, and exercise some critical thinking, fail to see any of this. How can this be? What has happened to our country that people can’t see through the obvious promotion of what is essentially a cartoon, masquerading as a Presidential candidate.
On the other hand, the candidates we’ve been presented with are likewise manufactured.
Nicely done. This is a good summary overview of the woman who would be Queen, and of the blind obeisance and cheerleading of people against whose real interests she will likely work.
And, yet, she is also America’s next president.
Fuck America. Fucking shithole country.
