The American People Have Thrown Out Biden’s Diversity Hire and Sent Her Packing
The rejection of Kamala Harris is a resounding repudiation of the worst elements of the DEI cult, says Annabel Denham in the Telegraph. The American people threw out Biden’s diversity hire and sent her packing. Here’s an excerpt.
Any objective observer could see Kamala was unqualified for the job. Even Kamala at times, behind the cackle laugh and the word salads and the baffling array of accents, seemed to know she wasn’t up to it.
But they pressed ahead with her anyway. In the end, it didn’t seem to matter to the virtue-signalling Left that Kamala’s position had been achieved by chance to a greater extent than anyone since Lyndon Johnson. That, a diversity hire for VP, she was able to fall into the presidency slot because Joe Biden needed to be put out to pasture with no time for a contest.
They sneered at Republicans who claimed Kamala was a DEI-hire candidate, but they surely had to know they had a point. The Left see the world through the prism of identity politics. In their human hierarchy, merit and grit come below race, gender and ethnicity. “Whomever I pick [for Vice President],” proclaimed Joe Biden in an embarrassing display of performative allyship, “preferably it will be someone who was of a colour and/or different gender”. That was in 2019. Five years later, the American people have roundly rejected this progressive creed.
Most voters, it turns out, still believe that people should be hired and promoted on the strength of their character, ability and experience. And there was simply too little evidence of this in Kamala: she appeared to have no intellectual resources, no managerial ability and a simplistic view on any topic on which she has spoken.
Kamala is the lawyer who can barely get to the end of a sentence, much less string together a coherent thought. She was utterly ineffectual when confronted with the crisis on the Southern Border. Her economic plans were downright bonkers, and exhibited a fundamental misunderstanding of the causes behind the recent spike in inflation. Her approach to foreign affairs was even worse, in that she didn’t appear to have one. Her talent for fundraising was remarkable and her campaign was disciplined, but it was also schizophrenic: she was the “change” candidate unable to point to a single policy she’d have done differently to Biden.

Does this mean we don’t have to see this idiot person and her cronies ever again? I do hope so. Here’s Julia Hartley-Brewer, who also makes the correct observation about Harris and co, though I don’t agree with absolutely everything she says about Trump;
”This is @JuliaHB1
laughing at the left’s meltdown at the election of Donald Trump
.
“Woke, lefty progressive, so called liberal tears, today are frankly a joy to behold.”
Julia adds she was the DEI choice and not Trump were her only attributes.”

[Harris-halfwit] was utterly ineffectual when confronted with the crisis on the Southern Border
Not really. The crisis at the southern border is in fact an invasion sponsored by the US Federal Government. It is motivated in part by the marxo-fascist left’s visceral hatred of the white working class – the people who are called the “deplorables” and “garbage” by the middle-class madleft. (These terms, incidentally, are just an updated version of the Marxist idea of “trash peoples” who have to be be eliminated if the Left’s totalitarian “revolution” is to succeed). Millions of completely unvetted illegal immigrants have been deliberately imported into the USA by the white-hating Democratic Party. From this point of view Harris-halfwit has been very successful.
I wonder how the policy deciders behind Biden can be restrained from granting citizenship and full voting righte to all illegals now in the US and can that be reversed.
I suspect that after today’s landslide, any attempt at such an obvious contradiction to the voters’ stated feeling would be easily struck down come January.
To be a lawyer you need to pass exams and get experience. I wonder how she achieved that.
As her husband said “She put her dead down and did the work”.
In Gilbert and Sullivan’s Iolanthe, the fairies parachute a shepherd into a safe seat in the House of Commons, who then introduces a law saying that Lords now have to pass a competitive entrance examination in order to sit in the House of Lords. The Lords panic and marry the fairies. “Either a little Liberal, or else a little Conservative. Fa-la-lah.”
Well, 66 million and counting people voted for her. Some (many) of those will be people that the Dems effectively buy loyalty from using generous welfare handouts and a bloated public sector. Millions (tens of millions) of others are not I imagine direct, immediate beneficiaries of this largesse – they seem to think it’s virtuous to destroy our civilisation. Those are the people I struggle to cope with.
I struggle to understand them – normally I can see things from the opposite point of view, even when I vehemently disagree with someone I can normally see why they hold a particular view.
With these lot I just draw a blank.
I’ve tried engaging but they don’t seem keen
I do one one consequence is that our own very “special DEI” Foreign Secretary is retired PDQ.
I hear there’s a new salad bar opening in San Francisco called Kamala’s.
Thank goodness for those sensible American voters, who have now consigned this dud to the periphery. I really hope Trump makes a success of his time in office. We need to rid ourselves of ‘progressive’ treachery and chaos.
No worries: there are other women.
Not worth mentioning that she’s an enthusiast for abortion who speaks of it exclusively in euphemisms such as ‘a woman’s reproductive rights’ or ‘rights over her own body’ or ‘right to healthcare’, as if the whole point of the argument wasn’t that there is a second existence involved and also as if being unable to speak of it except in euphemism wasn’t an implicit concession that there’s something shameful about it?
