Oops: MSNBC said the quiet part out loud.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Kamala Must Lie about Being a Liberal and Pretend to Be a Moderate, Just Like Tim Walz Did<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hayes Brown, an MSNBC writer and editor, wrote a new column today, entitled \u201cWhat to make of Kamala Harris\u2019 move to the center<\/a>.\u201d It\u2019s an eye-opening observation and\/or admission from the Democratic Party\u2019s base. As you likely suspect, the Radical Left views the 2024 presidential election differently than Team MAGA: It\u2019s not about making America great again, but\u00a0tricking<\/em>\u00a0Americans<\/em> into voting for a candidate who\u2019s out of step with the voters\u2019 ethos, goals, fears, and priorities.<\/p>\n And the role model for Kamala Harris\u2019s trickery? None other than Tim Walz.<\/p>\n \u201c[Kamala\u2019s] attention is now fully on barnstorming the purple areas of swing states,\u201d Brown wrote, \u201cfocused less on appeasing the progressive base of the party than on winning over whichever voters are still making up their minds about how to vote in November \u2014 or if at all. The result has been a campaign that\u2019s burning through the fuel the base provided when she became the nominee.\u201d<\/p>\n Alas, the only way to attract the middle, it seems, is to forego the wackier, more controversial positions of the Radical Left. In Brown\u2019s mind, it\u2019s a risky tradeoff.<\/p>\n \u201cThe goal is to convert that [progressive] energy into enough moderate votes to eke out a win against former President Donald Trump,\u201d Brown noted. \u201cIn the process, she has steadily shed the stances she took when vying against 19 other candidates to court the progressive left in 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n In a kind, nonjudgmental way, Brown pointed out that Harris has switched positions more often than an OnlyFans model.<\/p>\n If it were a Republican who abandoned key policy positions overnight, then to MSNBC, this would surely be emblematic of a dishonest, Machiavellian, racist politician who\u2019ll say and do anything to get elected, of course. But since it\u2019s a Democrat, well, it\u2019s just par for the course. Just another day at the office!<\/p>\n When in Rome, ya know.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In Brown\u2019s eyes, \u201cJoe Biden ran as the most moderate candidate [in 2020], a position [Biden] argued made him the most likely to beat the incumbent Trump. Once he\u2019d become the presumptive nominee, however, Biden did something unusual: He moved to the left.\u201d<\/p>\n Very respectfully to Mr. Brown: There\u2019s absolutely NOTHING unusual about a Democrat campaigning as a moderate and then switching to a liberal. It happens all the time. This IS the Democratic playbook! Frankly, it would\u2019ve been far more \u201cunusual\u201d if a Democrat actually governed as the same thing he campaigned on\u2026 but that doesn\u2019t happen, because liberal policies fare poorly on Election Day.<\/p>\n It\u2019s easier to seize power when you lie.<\/p>\n \u201cPolicywise, this has meant\u00a0shying away from some of the positions<\/a>\u00a0Harris took before assuming the vice presidency,\u201d Brown wrote. \u201cHer campaign has\u00a0disavowed her support<\/a>\u00a0for a mandatory buyback program for assault weapons, for example, as well as her previous openness to\u00a0expanding the Supreme Court<\/a>. Any former support for \u2018Medicare for All\u2019 or\u00a0banning fracking<\/a>\u00a0has been tucked into a box and shelved in the darkest recesses of the Naval Observatory. These are still good policies, in my view, but not the sort of thing Harris wanted to have in the spotlight.\u201d<\/p>\n And\u00a0why<\/em>\u00a0must Harris do all this?\u00a0Why\u00a0<\/em>must she strike these ideas from the spotlight? Is it because these policies are wildly unpopular and would cost her undecided voters and make her lose critical swing states, such as Pennsylvania?<\/p>\n Nah. The answer,\u00a0of course<\/em>, is racism:<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s apparently much easier for a typical voter to look at Harris and believe that a black female Democrat is much more liberal than her current agenda or background as a prosecutor would suggest,\u201d Brown fumed. \u201cHow else does one explain why 47% of respondents in a recent New York Times-Siena College poll said she is \u2018too liberal or progressive,\u2019 while 49% thought that Trump of all people is neither too liberal nor too\u00a0conservative<\/em>?\u201d<\/p>\n Very respectfully to Mr. Brown, part II: Perhaps the reason why a \u201ctypical voter\u201d has concluded that Kamala Harris is too liberal is because Kamala Harris is\u2026 too liberal? (Not to go all Occam\u2019s razor on everyone, but sometimes the simplest explanation is the right one.) Just because the left is fixated on race doesn\u2019t mean that the American people are.<\/p>\n And the utter disdain Brown has for the \u201ctypical voter\u201d could still be felt thousands of miles away. He doesn\u2019t think highly of the American people \u2014and it shows. His political party views us as deplorables and weirdos, so it ought to be expected.<\/p>\n Still, the ultimate \u201cmic drop\u201d moment in his column comes at the very end. In Brown\u2019s opinion, when it comes to\u00a0brazenly lying<\/em>\u00a0to the American people, Kamala Harris has the perfect role model: Tim Walz.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is an encouraging sign that she picked Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota as her running mate,\u201d Brown opined. \u201cWalz also won office after initially campaigning as a center-of-the-road Democrat. But when both houses in the state Legislature went blue in 2022, he didn\u2019t hesitate to use that slim majority to advance progressive legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n (Such as revamping Minnesota\u2019s abortion laws, which resulted in\u00a0at least eight babies dying after being born alive, post-abortion<\/a>.)<\/p>\n This is going to be a\u00a0bait-and-switch<\/a>, folks. The Democrats are\u00a0lying<\/em>\u00a0to you. But it\u2019s your fault; this is what you deserve\u2026 for being a no-good, lousy racist. Hey, what choice did they have?<\/p>\n But YOU still have a choice. Use it wisely on Tuesday, November 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Oops: MSNBC said the quiet part out loud. \u00a0Kamala Must Lie about Being a Liberal and Pretend to Be a Moderate, Just Like Tim Walz Did.
