To the editor:
It should seem strange to Dems that their leaders are chosen for them and then they are told who to vote for. Biden was most likely a guaranteed loss for the 2024 Presidential election, so they lobbied, caucused and undermined him until he had no choice but to leave. There was nothing honorable or sacrificial about his withdrawal from the campaign; he was drummed out of the party by the party and we all saw that.
Now comes Harris, the current VP to a president that has been deemed too old and too senile to run again by the Democratic party leaders to say nothing of his inability to govern for the balance of the term. Who will the leadership replace Harris with during the DNC? Who will they tell their followers to vote for once they really get a candidate? Harris has been more unpopular than Biden the entire time Biden has been president and now all of a sudden, she is the answer to their prayers. Hardly. Her baggage, in terms of the Biden/Harris policies, is just as bad now as it was before they threw Biden out of the race.
“538” is a polling service established by Nate Silver, a known Democratic supporter, and Silver vacated his position in 2023 when the website was taken over by the ABC Television network, also a known supporter of the Democratic party. You can still access the current polling data at the site and the latest “favorability” rating as of July 22 cd, 2024 shows that 38.3% approve of Harris and 51.4% disapprove of Harris. These numbers were published after Biden was replaced by Harris and very closely align with Biden’s numbers on this site prior to his departure. Since the polls dictate every aspect of the Democratic party’s decision process so that they may plug in whoever or whatever the polls tell them, do you really think numbers like these will put a Democrat back in the White House in November?
Harris is merely the temporary Dem candidate until the convention where the “cabal” of Obama, Pelosi, Schumer and Soros will decide who will represent the Dems in this election and then they will tell their voters who to vote for.
