Barack Obama wrote The Audacity of Hope. The Kamala Harris story of 2024 could be called The Audacity of Desperation. Her brief candidacy has been an awesome display of chutzpah. With just weeks to go before the election, a panicked Democratic Party pushed aside their failing commander-in-chief and replaced him with Harris, the distinctly unpopular vice-president.
She was then shamelessly presented to America and the world as an agent of change, even though she has no clear vision or agenda of her own. Twelve days have passed since Kamala Harris accepted the nomination and still her campaign website offers no clues as to what she might do as president. She has made some noises that sound a bit like policies. She’ll protect abortion. She’ll build millions of houses and give first-time home buyers $25,000. She’ll tackle “price-gouging” businesses. She’ll give tax breaks to the struggling middle class and fund it through raising corporation tax. The details of how and when are left unsaid. The message to voters? Just don’t listen too closely.
