Kamala Harris: A Losing Battle?
Josiah Lippincott, in a piece for American Greatness, puts forth a controversial argument: Kamala Harris is the weakest Democratic presidential candidate since Walter Mondale and she stands no chance of winning the 2024 Presidential election.
An Unpopular Candidate?
Lippincott argues that Harris is not a legitimate candidate for the presidency. He claims that she was never the consensus pick of the Democratic party and that her campaign is a product of Democrat insiders. He further asserts that Harris is not popular, inspiring, or equipped with cogent policy proposals.
The Impact of Kamala's Potential Win
If Harris were to win, Lippincott argues, it would signal the end of our constitutional order and free and fair elections. He likens a media declaration of her victory to journalists insisting that North Korean elections are free and fair. He believes that the legitimacy of the American electoral system rests entirely on Trump's shoulders.
Unpopular Among Voters and Staff
Harris, according to Lippincott, has no real contact with voters. Her performance in the 2020 Democratic primary was poor, and she had to withdraw before voting in Iowa even occurred. Furthermore, he claims that even her closest allies and staff dislike her.
Radical Politics
Lippincott labels Harris as a political radical, citing her support for gun confiscation and free healthcare for illegal immigrants. He argues that these policies are not popular among any significant sector of the American electorate.
Trump's Popularity
On the other hand, Lippincott claims that Donald Trump has never been more popular. He argues that Trump's rallies have never been bigger, his message has never been sharper, and his supporters have never been more vocal.
The Future of American Politics
Lippincott concludes that if Harris can be installed in the presidency, then there is no reason to keep holding elections. He believes that patriotic Americans would have no reason to support the regime in DC and would need to search for new guards for their future security.
Bottom Line
Lippincott's piece is a provocative take on the 2024 Presidential election. He paints a picture of a deeply unstable time in American life, with Kamala Harris as a symbol of the decline of our political order. What do you think?
