... because nothing matters. Here's why.
Progressive policies and philosophies are completely divorced from real world performance. They float along, propelled by the looting of the future. As long as you can still borrow money, you can live in their fantasy world.
As the election draws near, I've taken to listening to Mark Halperin's excellent Two Way channel on YouTube and X. Unbiased and professional, it's expert-level sports talk radio for political junkies. On his morning briefing show, he and his guests have repeatedly wondered why Kamala can't answer simple questions, particularly when the same questions arise over and over and over again. Why hasn't her team coached her on better answers? Why doesn't she have any answers at all? The topics include:
- Biden's cognitive decline
- The invasion at the southern border
- Inflation
- What she would do different than Biden
She never has a coherent, solid answer for any of them which is why she gets asked the same questions in every single town hall and interview that isn't a complete tongue-bath.
If I took the time to join 2-Way and had a chance to interact with Mark and his cohosts, I'd say the answer is simple. The analogy I'd use would be watching a high school baseball prospect take batting practice. If the guy takes 50 batting-practice fastballs and grounds them all to the infield, the answer is simple. He's a lousy player. Kamala is like that. She's been served up these questions in friendly environments over and over and over again and doesn't have answers. This is as good as she gets. She's a lousy candidate. She's an airhead.
And yet, the Democrats can afford to run a lousy candidate since nothing is riding on the election for them. Nothing real, that is. We as a nation glide along, our path lubricated by borrowed money and a relatively peaceful world whose order was purchased by previous generations. There's no need for real accomplishments or solving real problems.
Gary, Indiana
I don't recall what prompted it, but I searched for black-majority cities in the US. One such is Gary, Indiana. It's about 70% black. The mayor is black as is almost the whole power structure in the city. It has been for some time. Naturally, it's solidly deep blue. Its schools churn out illiterate kids.
The progressives don't have to perform, not in any real sense, not even for their top-ranked demographic, blacks. It's not just that they don't perform, they don't even come close to performing. Reading doesn't require technology or fancy school rooms. As far as education goes, it's as simple as it gets and yet, the progressives aren't getting the job done. Life up to now has shown them that there isn't much of a penalty for failure. It's all covered by borrowed money.
Back To Kamala
So why not run Kamala? Why not run a woman who is clearly a figurehead? Biden's been a figurehead his whole term and that seemed to work out pretty well. Why not import voters from Haiti and similar dumps? It hasn't caused any serious problems yet. The wealthy people in DC are doing fine and they can all preen about how compassionate they are.
Trump For President
To be sure, I'm voting for Trump on Tuesday. It's not a hard choice. I'd have gladly taken DeSantis or Haley over Trump, but here we are. MAGA wanted primal scream therapy so primal scream therapy is what we got. It's not really an election about serious issues, it's simply a referendum on whether or not you hate Trump. No one really knows what Kamala thinks about anything and it doesn't matter. Is Orange Man Bad or is Orange Man Good? That's the crux of the election.
Meanwhile, the black kids in Gary, Indiana can't read. That's OK, right?
