Harris' Conservative Culture Play

KAMA! From camo hats to libertarian rhetoric, the Kamala Harris campaign is staking its claim to symbols of conservative identity.

Even as she advocates for gun control measures, she used the comments to signal not only that she didn't support confiscating guns, but that she has a personal stake in the Second Amendment.

Zoom out: The comments follow a pattern of Harris and Walz claiming rhetorical turf that has long been held by Republicans.

Harris' campaign launch video was centered around "freedom," a pervasive conservative rallying cry for resisting liberal policies on taxation, gun control and government regulation.

Harris and Walz are using it to advocate for abortion rights and fight interventionist policies like school book bans and curriculum directives.

Tim Walz's biography " his rural Nebraska upbringing, football coaching experience and everyday dad persona " serve to build up the ticket's Middle America credentials. And his "mind your own damn business" refrain taps into a libertarian sensibility.

These embraces have caught on as Democratic rallying cries this campaign."

The camouflage Harris-Walz campaign hat instantaneously sold out.

... KAMA! From camo hats to libertarian rhetoric, the Kamala Harris campaign is staking its claim to symbols of conservative identity ...

Yeah, when Democrats sew the American Flag on to the back pocket of their jeans and then, at a rally, sit on the ground, grinding that American Flag into the dirt...

That is when I will believe the Democrats are lowering themselves to staking their claim to the symbols of the current conservative identity.

I was born in the Eisenhower administration and it's taken me this long to see the Democrats have their $#!+ together.

Recognizing Hilly's big mistake.
The whole "deplorables" thing was a political mistake of the highest order and, more likely lost her the election than anything Comey or CNN did. Alienating a large chunk the population and giving them something to rally around was just about the stupidest thing I've seen in 60 years, politically speaking.

@#4 ... The whole "deplorables" thing was a political mistake of the highest order ...

I do not disagree.

Did that mistake lose her the election?

I'm not there yet.

Telling the truth in politics can be a bad idea.

"We're going to require responsible behaviors among everybody in the community, and just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn't mean that we're not going to walk into that home and check to see if you're being responsible and safe in the way you conduct your affairs,"

Believe them when they tell you.
-sanctity of your locked home
-we're going to walk into that home

If home is locked, how are you gonna do that? Break in?
Harris tells Oprah-
"If somebody breaks in my house, they're getting shot."

Even if it's your own commie tyranny thugs?

Red flag laws and a warrant.

Sockpuppets are so pathetic.

So Harris is pretending to be something she isn't.

True conservatives are finding a home in the Democratic Party. We share their basic values, as true Liberals should. Besides, you told them to eat ---- and die.

Trump pretending to be human is a real riot.

He's more swine than man.... and I should apologize to swine.

Kamala continues to repeat that she "worked at McDonald's" without evidence. It's lie unless she can provide proof.

You're an idiot, and we have all the proof we need.

You're a Russian agent unless you can provide proof otherwise.

Frankly, I've always known it.

"Kamala continues to repeat that she "worked at McDonald's" without evidence." - #21 | Posted by visitor_ at 2024-09-22 02:41 PM

So?

That was, at a minimum, 40 years ago.

Small businesses (such as a McDonald's franchise), would NOT maintain HR records for 40 years.

Learn to live with disappointment, comrade.

And stop sh*tposting.

It is boring, predictable, and entirely made-up.

While you people might think that everyone is as stupid and gullible as you are, most people are not.

You're welcome.

Donald Trump was impeached twice incited an insurrection is an election denier and conspired to undermine a federal election is a sexual abuser and and a fraud and is a convicted felon awaiting sentencing and a narcissistic serial liar and so much more and you are concerned whether Kamala Harris really worked at a McDonald's?

seriously?

WTF is wrong with you?

"It is boring, predictable, and entirely made-up."

I dunno, this Stolen McValor conspiracy is so lame it's actually quite funny. It actually helps Harris more than anything.

There is a gap in her recent resume. She only talks about jobs she's supposedly held years the past. In her ads and at at her rallys she never mentions what she's been doing the last 3.5 years.

#28 | Posted by visitor_ at 2024-09-22 03:16 PM

Trump tries to overturn and election, and Visidiot is worried about the other candidate's resume details?

It's almost like he's not playing with a full deck.

I bought my uncle, who's also a hunter, a HARRIS camo hat. Since he lives in a more rural part of Wisconsin, I first called to ask if he'd feel comfortable wearing it. He replied that he'd love to, and that most of his neighbors were anti-Trump too.
