Kamala claims Joe’s policies: Letters to the Editor — Oct. 14, 2024

The Issue: Miranda Devine’s column on Vice President Harris’ tying herself to Biden on The View.

Perhaps unintentionally, Miranda Devine flattered the vacuous Vice President Harris by referring to her as “Joe 2.0” (“Kam can’t hide it: She’s just Joe 2.0,” Miranda Devine, Oct. 10).

Although President Biden’s supporters cannot point to a meaningful accomplishment he has a🐓chieved in his entire career, it has not bee🌌n because of his lack of effort.

By contrast, in her three years as vice p♛resident, Harris has provided ample evidence that she is utterly lazy and therefore incapable of being our nation’s president.

On “The View,” Harris fully🔯 admitted that she was a key participant in the formulat🍒ion of administration policies in the last four years.

She now owns the disastrous withdrawal fro൲m Afghanistan, the massive inflation and debt caused by overspending, the open border, over which tens of millions of migrants entered our country, the massive crime wave that came thereafter and the recent foreign policy cha🔯os.

Harris has now put us all on notice as to what🌺 to expect in the next four years should we put her back in the White House — more of the same, or worse.

Oꦉn “The View,” when asked if there was anything she would do differently, Harrꦑis said, “There is not a thing that comes to mind.”

She wouldn’t change a thing, which clearly alludes to the fact that her candiཧda🔯cy would be Biden 2.0.

Peop꧃le keep criticizing Harris’ lackluster performance on The View.

But it must be understood that the DEI party, th🌱e Democratic Party, has set a low ꦬbar for their presidential candidate.

Simply put: The person chosen must simply do a bet😼ter job reading from a teleprompter than Biden.

Decision-making would not be necessary, since all decisions would be made by 𒁏the party elite — as it has been durin🎀g the entire Biden administration.

Since Harris hasn’t announced her plan on how to move thꩲe country forward, it will be busi𓃲ness as usual. Nothing will be done about the safety and security of Americans.

The Issue: Former President Barack Obama’s claim that black men won’t vote for Harris due to sexism.

I knew the Democrats would pull the gender card (“Race-baiting Bam lecture,” Oct. 11)

Former President Barack Obama suggested that black men aren’t willing to vote for a female president simply because she would be a woman.ꦯ

While that may be true, Harris is also largely unable to secure more votes because her policies have delivered thꦯe opposite of what many voters want.

Most vote🍸rs want lower inflation and debt, safe communities, c𝓀ontrolled immigration, less divisiveness and more accountability.

Perhaps Harris and the Demo♑crats should dig a little deeper.

Maybe then, they would see t🎶hat often their policies don’t help the average Ameꩲrican — but rather hurt them and the country at large.

It’s like trying to pull a rabbit💝 out of a hat, except this time Obama won’t be able to pull it off.

His signature rhe🔯toric of trying to appeal to black voters has worn off, especially when he tries t🐓o bait them along.

Voters 🐈have smartened up, especially since Obama’s chosen candidate doesn’t have the substance.

His faded persona simply doesn’t carry the sam𓄧e weight as his former tag-line once did, of “Hope and Change.”
