Democrat Party platform references Biden's 'second term' 19 times
[POSTMILLENNIAL] In a Democrat Party platform that backs child sex changes, opens with a land acknowledgment, promises gun control, fights climate change, advocates for federal child sacrifice abortion laws, student debt forgiveness, and addresses a host of other progressive talking points, President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. This Is A Man That Does Not Seem Demented...
's "second term" is referenced 19 times. The only problem with that is he's not running—he's been replaced at the top of the ticket by his veep Kamala Harris
launched her campaign on the “RuPaul’s Drag Race”
. Her name is only mentioned 29 times in the platform, while Trump is mentioned on 62 pages, Biden on 76.

Any effort for the Kamala campaign to distance itself from her predecessor on the ticket Joe Biden would be difficult when the entire party platform is built around Biden, not Harris. Her recent, if scant, policy positions are not listed in the platform save for some reference to price gouging, which is an area on which she overlaps with Biden. Her announcement, days after Trump announced his initiative, that there would be no taxes on tips was not mentioned, nor any of her housing initiatives.

In fact, much of the language and tone of the document reflects Biden as well, with terms like "so everyone has a fair shot," which is something he's repeated at campaign events and in speeches over his term in office. Kamala's catchphrase, about seeing "what can be, unburdened by what might have been," does not appear once in the document. Full of falsehoods and repeated yet debunked hoaxes, the platform reads like a progressive playbook.

Many took note of the odd issuance of a platform that's more about the man leaving office than the woman who hopes to fill his shoes. Harris was nominated by the Democrat Party elite after the primary season was pretty much over and some 14 million Americans had cast their ballots for Biden. It was in the days after Biden dropped out, following an extremely poor debate performance against Trump in June, that Harris was put on the ticket and Biden erased from it.
