Kamala Harris masks radicalism, AOC shows Democrat's true face
|
 Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal , though she doesn't talk about it much anymore
took the stage at the Democratic National Convention a little after 9:30 p.m. Monday, smack dab in the middle of primetime.
 President Joe The Big Guy Biden
Continued from Page 4
...46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant ....
, meanwhile, was relegated to a speaking slot outside of the coveted broadcast window nearly two hours later.
The striking contrast of their scheduling said a lot — not just about Biden's and AOC's personal trajectories, but about the ideological course of the Democratic Party.
In the days since Vice President Kamala Harris
who got her start in politix between former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's knees
replaced Biden as the Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people , white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
' presidential nominee, we've seen a concerted effort to recast Harris as the kind of candidate that moderates can unreservedly pull the lever for.
Within hours of Biden stepping aside and endorsing her, The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
published a puff piece explaining ''How Kamala Harris Rose as a Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Moderate.''
Harris' communications team has been hard at work slowly recanting the radical platform she ran for the White House on back in 2019.
And her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz
 ...Kamala's smarmy-looking running mate, governor of Minnesota, who decided to retired rather than to deploy with his National Guard unit, then claimed to have been in Iraq and Afghanistan. One man's socialism is another man's neighborliness. ...
, has had his far-left record papered over by his Midwestern affect.
But the optics of Monday night betrayed the true nature of both the Democratic Party and its standard-bearer.
This is not a party trying to persuade moderate voters, appeal to them or make concessions to their values.
Instead, it’s trying to dupe them.
Ocasio-Cortez was treated to a hero’s welcome on the stage Monday, and her speech — which featured plenty of her signature economic demagoguery condemning "two-bit union busters" and lauding "working people," but also saw her tout Harris’ "tireless" work toward a euphemistic "cease-fire" in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
— received rave reviews from the media chorus.
"Once an outsider, AOC now has the entire DNC (If you're white you ain't right! )
...Democrat National Committee, where all those off-the-wall talking points originate...
hall chanting her name," HuffPost’s Daniel Marans observed on X.
At The Nation, Jeet Heer declared that she had cemented herself as part of "the future of the Democratic Party."
"I think the young congresswoman from New York, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, may have a prominent future in American politics," submitted Matthew Yglesias in what was meant as a wry understatement.
"AOC is the closest thing to Obama level speechmaking talent in Democratic politics today," gushed activist Armand Domalewski.
"Damn," offered Obama alum and Pod Save America bro Jon Favreau, "AOC knows how to give a speech."
Of course, the fact that Ocasio-Cortez is enjoying a coming-out party of sorts at a convention celebrating Harris’ ascension to the top of the Democratic ticket should come as no surprise.
Five years ago, Harris campaigned for the presidency as an AOC-style Democrat, endorsing Medicare-for-All and the Green New Deal, flirting with the Defund the Police and Abolish ICE movements, and showering Ocasio-Cortez herself with praise.
Asked about Ocasio-Cortez’s support for income tax rates of up to 80%, Harris gushed that the congresswoman was "challenging the status quo," calling the effort "fantastic."
Even after her own White House hopes had gone down in flames, Harris kept up the bit, urging Americans to send their hard-earned cash — in the midst of a pandemic — to a bail fund that later sprung murderers and rapists from prison.
It’s been this new Harris campaign’s operating theory that it can put all of the veep’s past leftist foolishness behind her by never letting her be pinned down about the kinds of policies she would implement from the Oval Office.
That’s why nearly a month after becoming the presumptive nominee, her website still says nothing about what she hopes to accomplish as president, and why she’s yet to sit down for a single major interview or stand for a single presser.
But AOC’s address — and Democrats’ celebration of it — has betrayed the party’s true direction with Harris at the helm.
That the proud socialist’s shining moment came at the expense of Biden was doubly symbolic.
In 2020, Biden was the only viable non-radical candidate to seek the Democratic nomination.
Four years later, his presidency and his legacy have been undone — in no small part because he embraced an unpopular progressive agenda that has produced chaos abroad and suffering at home.
And as a final indignity, Biden was kept off the stage until everyone but the true Dem diehards had turned off their TVs, so that his party could begin to lay the groundwork for their new, far-left wing to take the reins.
The only question that remains is whether Americans will heed the warning signs before their eyes — or let Democrats off the hook for hiding their radicalism behind a smokescreen of platitudes.
