Given, the DNC seems to be moving more and more towards Socialism. A person could rightfully think the DNC borrowed the Venezuela political playbook.

#2 I just gonna wonder if her withdrawal from the 2020 race wasn't an orchestrated trail balloon.

#3 *First, apologies for doing this in chapters, playing magic word, which is fine. Also, a bit long.

The suspension of election results and the installment of a new 'candidate' without voting is confirmation it is all orchestrated. Points awarded to conspiracy theorists of 2016 who said Sanders was forcibly removed for Hillary!, and not allowed to run 2020.

So I'd go with auditions to see who the regime wanted to have as the....face...of Plan 3AM.

#4 Remember Biden was a nothing, showing his age like a 50 year old playing pick up basketball with teenagers. Harris and Bootygig were the favorites until Harris got smoked on center stage. The regime called the contest, consulted, and decided Biden would be the best..face. It was the Summer of Shove, Covid Karens, and Wine Aunts, so Harris checked more boxes than Bootygig and I'm sure was promised could be polished.

Remember the campaign A Vote for a President Biden is really a vote for a President Harris?
(because Biden is in poor health) is the shadow of that campaign.

#5 She was handed a number of plum assignments and topics to build her image and they all flopped. I posit not only could she not be polished, but between her shortcomings and upset that she needed to change (and possibly off the clock fun) she took it out on her staff, Harris never being pleasant at best of times, and the team had cascade failures.

#6 I present as evidence that she could have been made President at any point the last couple weeks. Counter evidence would be they want a hype campaign first and an announcement outside of Olympic coverage. Fair, but there isn't even any talk about it, she has been put in a media hole, and what policy topics she has weighed in on have been off, like high-fiving Maduro Results even as his goons roamed the streets shooting anyone who said otherwise. And that gawdAWFL speech in Georgia in some Californian's idea of what a black and southern accent sounds like. It was worse than Tropic Thunder and that was a parody movie. The only thing worse would be to have her take the stage with a 40 and a grill. Embarrassing.

People notice things. They notice food prices. They notice ever since that hotel was turned into an illegal migrant camp the only shit which doesn't go missing is on the sidewalk and stairs. There is a certain suspension of disbelief required for this program and it requires a face. Harris, unlikable, uncoachable, with no mental talents, and a bit of a loose cannon, is a hard sale whose team can't even get the VP Choice announcement organized.

#8 Going to try to break down the 'Weird' campaign, because it is the other edge of the knife.

For the past 10 years at least, Keep It Weird has been a counter-culture rally cry: Keep Portland Weird, Keep San Francisco Weird, etc. So why are Harris' Advertisers now using it as an insult, other than the latest firmware update?

By implying their behavior is the normal, with your permission, calling others weird makes a straw man. He isn't weird, he is a goal oriented person. He isn't weird, he just believes in service and family. So on. And if people are rushing to that defense, they are not point at how weird the leftist sales package is. Dude painted blue laying on a table covered in fruit with his balls hanging out. Someone of California privilege of immigrants who has the same amount of African American experience as Talcum X is Southern Black. Someone who has been trained for 4 years is somehow now a worse communicator, who can't complete a thought on the first try and randomly breaks out in laughter. Actually weird things.

It is an actual Disney advertising technique. When some behind the scenes footage of the Snow White remake was leaked, they went and called the original characters weird to try and lower its status so the remake looked better. Star Wars, their recent stuff has been absolute shit, so they went back and called the extras casting in the original 3 weird. But Billy Dee Williams, the defenders flocked to, thus leaving self impregnating l#sb1an space witches unchecked. Aren't the prequel character stereotypes weird, sending off other fans to its defense so Mark Hammil and the Princess Warriors chapters are left alone.

I read somewhere that it is akin to throwing sticks with a dog, and there is absolute truth to that. I'd add, while trying to break into the house. It distracts and wears out the dog, when the dog should be focused on guarding the door. Don't chase sticks.

#9 The "Weird Counter Culture" required surplus money, it required the free exchange of ideas, it required the safety and security to complete those ideas, the acceptance of others without putting people into check boxes, a vibrant energy and hopeful future in which an individual can be part of and participate in.

In its slur form, weird - again they are counting on your permission to take a negative - it is family, duty, honor, acceptance, children's health and well being. It is wanting a good quality of life. It is goal oriented accomplishments. Its knowing when it is time to be serious.

Maybe it is time to Make American Weird Again.
