Why Kamala Harris Doesn't Need to Address the Issues - 8/13/2024-2

Vice President Kamala Harris doesn't need to talk to the press about her position on issues or her record. It's not right, but she doesn't. There is a calculus, unacceptable to me and many of you, but undeniable.

Behold, the savior of the progressive left, Kamala Harris!

Why do I think she doesn't have to speak about the issues? It's complicated, but I'll try not to be in explaining it.

First of all, we're only talking about 7 or 8 states that matter. Deep red and deep blue states are already out of play. So all that matters are the so-called swing states: Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and maybe North Carolina and Virginia. Nobody else matters. Not me, not you, not nobody.

Within each of these states, all she needs is a simple majority of votes.

She already has all the far lefties, including the people who are far lefties who pretend to be moderate but don't want to tell us how far left they truly are.

She'll get a lot of White, suburban women, because killing babies, oops, I mean abortion rights, is the most important thing to them. More than the cost of gas, or food, or housing.

Then, add in all the never Trump GOP and independents. Even if they abstain or vote 3rd party, she's as well off as if they voted for her: one less vote she needs.

She automatically will get a vast majority of the Black vote and LGBTQ votes. It doesn't mean her policies are better for those groups, but they're autopilot voters, already in the bag for her.

Then there's the Union vote. Democrat. Check.

Add in the closet socialists and commies for good measure, and she's up in the 40's, percentage wise.

She only needs 3 or 4 percent more votes than that in 4-5 of these swing states, and she's in. Easy peasy, no talkie no press, no splainy no issues, no problem.

The people running her show know if she talks at length about issues, she is nothing except a liability to her own prospects. The press is totally in the bag for her and continually blowing fresh air into her sails, giving her a free pass on avoiding any forum where she might have to explain, or God forbid she might be challenged, on any issue or her record. Can't have people get to know her and realize they don't like her! Disaster.

So the ghost campaign, sans position on issues, senza questions on her record, will continue; in fact, may indeed win. The candidate who won no primaries, has no stated positions on issues, and doesn't do interviews can win. I'm starting to think there ain't shit we can do about it.
