167. Who anointed her?

Tue Aug 1, 2017, 03:04 AM

Aug 2017

I wouldn't even known she was a potential candidate if not for their smear campaign. They've done more to elevate her than any donors possible could.

All that anger because someone might run who doesn't meet your approval. It's pretty obvious who the gatekeepers are, or rather who believes they are entitled to be. To pretend anyone is being forced on you is transparent bullshit. You aren't oppressed because you dont get to control access to the Democratic primary.

It's pretty clear that a competitive primary is precisely what Kamala's critics don't want, but because they can't set aside their id long enough to think through political strategy, they catapult her to national prominence. If anyone has anointed Harris, it's them. And if she is considering running, I'm sure she is grateful for all the free publicity you all have given her.

I'm partial to Schiff myself. Maybe you all can start targeting him? He can use the free publicity.
