Kamala Harris tries to distance herself from Biden in yet another policy flip-flop:
‘Everything about her campaign is fake’
14 Aug 2024 ~~ By Josh ChristensonVice President Kamala Harris is furiously trying to “distance” herself from President Biden’s record — while also disavowing the far-left policies she heartily embraced just a few years ago.
The result is a campaign run entirely on style over substance since Harris took the Democratic mantle from Biden last month.
And Democratic campaign operatives warn that she risks voters catching on — and realizing she’s selling only cynical political opportunism.
“It’s a marketing strategy that is TV-esque,” one senior Democratic aide said. “With such a short timeline now, policy matters less than personality.
Critics attacked Harris from both sides of the party four years ago — with the Biden campaign mocking her Medicare flip-flop in particular as a “have-it-every-which-way” plan, and aides for Democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) slamming her policy stances as having been “cobbled together to address various poll numbers,” Politico reported.
Now, she’s trying to burnish her moderate credentials by talking about inflation and the high cost of goods head on, while also embracing Trump’s pledge to not tax tips for service and hospitality workers in key battleground states like Nevada.
“As far as Harris distancing from Biden, she was going to do that,” the campaign operative said, noting that Democrats have been energized by the opportunity to redefine the 2024 race.

Another stumbling block could be her past promises to eliminate gas-powered vehicles by 2035, but she has signaled to some energy trade groups in Pennsylvania that she wouldn’t kill the domestic gas and oil industry, according to Reuters.
Chet Thompson, the president of the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, told the outlet he would still maintain caution.
“Until the vice president says otherwise, we have to believe she still stands for everything that was in her 2019 policy plan and for every policy she cosponsored as a senator,” he said.
Harris and Biden are slated to appear in Prince George’s county, Md., for an event also touting their administration’s efforts to lower costs — their first joint appearance since he dropped out.
Commentary:
It is sad that a Democrat voters are style over substance type of people.
I hope we have not DEI’d and dumbed down the electorate so much that we would lose this election.
And, by extension, the United States of America’s “Fundamental Transformation” becomes reality.
Like Obama-Care, the plane is to pass in order to find out what's in it. But, we do know what's in this campaign and Democrat Neo-Marxists are lying in order to try and win.
