This Is Why Democrats Won’t Let Harris Or Walz Do Any Real Interviews
Derek Hunter


Kamala Harris and Tim Walz can’t avoid the debates without looking like they’re deliberately avoiding them – which means Kamala will be there Tuesday – but they can avoid being asked any serious questions, and they will. You’d think that would be political suicide, and it certainly won’t help them in the election. Still, the old saying about being silent and leaving people to think you might be an idiot or opening your mouth and confirming their suspicions is doubly true with this ticket.

The heavy lifting the Democratic Party media did in 2020 was unprecedented, but it’s also nothing compared to what will be needed this year. Not because Donald Trump is so wildly popular, neither ticket has a majority favorability rating, but because Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are uniquely awful candidates and, honestly, people.

There’s a reason they speak in platitudes and fortune cookie slogans, and it’s not because they are desperate to find new ways to convey to voters their policy ideas. They are the equivalent of used car salesmen who are just shy of their boat payment in commissions this month, and they see you walk on their lot. You’re the mark.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
It's obvious. If questioned by someone who has an inkling about economics and how things actually work, their bumper-sticker policies won't work.
Walz's 'more housing means lower taxes' might work in a very small town trying to buy a fire engine, but overall,it means greater demand for city type services  (because he's not talking buying 40 acres and a mule, but urban/suburban housing) like water, sewer, snow removal, sidewalks and streets, not to mention police, fire, and EMS. The more of that needed, the more it will cost to maintain, (not just to purchase the needed equipment/infrastructure).  If more housing meant lower property taxes, then mine would be half what they were 30 years ago, not more than double.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Because anyone with a brain will realize that 95% of the country has no place in their admin.

Which is why they constantly dump the vats of Joy syrup over everything to cover the policy turd pile.

If Nikita had been gay.
