I think you have said it perfectly. However, I think you could expand on this theme, which seems to go all the way back to the beginning of her political career, when she was chosen by California Elites to run against the current DA, who was investigating these elites, especially Willie Brown, for corruption. It is rather increíble for this sort of thing to happen twice in a single person’s political career. Either lightning has managed to strike for her or she as an equally rare and unlikely talent. One could understand it if she were in any way appealing or had an ounce of charisma. But she doesn’t, and maybe it is here, in her vacuousness, that the secret hides. In both cases she was chosen by elites because she is so empty of conviction and willing to do anything to advance her career. This is the line along which I would love to hear you expand. And I am sure you have much more to add.

The Democratic nomination of Harris has all the hallmarks of the Russian nomination of Putin.

Per the AP, here is a link to the story that explains how the Russians do it.....

"The group that nominated Putin included top officials from the ruling United Russia party, prominent Russian actors and singers, athletes and other public figures."

hmmmmm

With just a small tweak - we get...

The group that nominated Harris included top officials from the ruling Democratic Party, prominent American actors and singers, athletes and other public figures.

There was a time when anything with Russian Hallmarks was really bad.

Democracy Dies in Darkness!
