Kamala's Concert Tour

Last week I wrote about one of the most astounding things I had ever seen in looking at polling data.

On July 20, 2024 (the day before Joe Biden announced he was dropping out as the Democrat's Presidential nominee). Kamala Harris had a net approval rating with age 18-29 voters of -33.

Eleven days later, on July 31, 2024, she had an approval rating with the same group of +16.



How is this possible in a rational world?

That is why you should never underestimate the power of mainstream media and the social media giants to manipulate public opinion.

It appears that manipulation is easiest with the youngest voters because they are those who have the smallest real world experience and are also the least likely to be paying attention to politics.

In fact, Kamala Harris even pointed out the risk of poor decisions being made by those in the 18-24 age group when she was California's Attorney General and had implemented a program called "Back on Track" to curb recidivism. That program focused on young first offenders.

This is what she said in 2014.

“We designed this program around the 18 through 24 [age range] mostly, but it was usually up to 30 [years old],” Harris said of Back on Track. “When I was at Howard University and we were in college, we were 18 through 24, and you know what we were called? College kids. But when you turn 18 and you're in the system, you are considered an adult, period.”

 She went on to say this which has become a viral video on social media.
“That is why we put them in dormitories, and they have a resident assistant,” Harris said. “They make really bad decisions. So, we focused on that age population.”

This is the video on social media that those on the left state say is taken out of context because it is not framed with the fact that Kamala was talking about crimes committed by younger people

You can make your own decision on whether the video clip is fair or not.

However, the larger point here seems indisputable.

Young people GENERALLY do not make as many good decisions as older peopler do. As stated above, most do not have the experience and judgment that comes with age.

Kamala Harris knows this. She said so when it related to young criminal offenders.

She clearly knows that younger voters are also the easiest group to target with her messaging.

Why do you think her campaign is so focused  on "cool" and "concerts" rather than policies and positions?

All of her big rallies have included concert artists to help draw in the crowd.

Even her campaign tour posters looks like its for a concert.

While Kamala has been on her concert tour she has avoided answering any questions from reporters, being interviewed by anyone or speaking to any voters without scripted remarks on a teleprompter.

It has been almost a month without a single unscripted question or remark.

To this point she had been running for President much like Biden's basement campaign of 2020 but without the basement.

We will see if anything changes beginning with next week's Democrat National Convention in Chicago.

Is there any chance we are going to find out anything about Kamala's views on anything beyond the fact that she also agrees with Trump that tips should not be taxed?

Or that her solution to food inflation is to put on price controls?

How did that work out in Argentina and Venezuela?

Or to have the government get deeply involved in subsidizing new home construction or home purchases.

Has anyone considered that when you allow 10 million illegal immigrants into the country in less than four years it might have an effect on housing?

Biden and Harris create a problem and the solution is to create another government program and billions of dollars of taxpayer money to "solve" the problem?

It makes no sense.

Of course, the truth is that those who pay attention know a great deal about Kamala's views.

She has not been shy about sharing them in the past.

The problem for her is that she is not running for office in California now.

Her views are way outside what most mainstream American voters agree with.

Another recent poll shows that most Democrats and Independents have no idea of how extreme most of those positions are.

The Media Research Center polled 1,200 voters (800 Democrats, 400 Independents) to find out how many of these voters were aware of "many of the controversial and radical positions" Kamala has taken previously as a lawmaker.

Generally, three-fourths or more were unaware of ten aspects of the radical record of Kamala Harris.

The Presidential campaign will largely center around whether Donald Trump and J.D. Vance can make voters aware of what Kamala Harris and Tim Walz really believe.

You would hope that the media would do their job and provide the information to allow voters to make up their own minds on these issues rather than allow Kamala to hide the facts.

That might be asking too much based on past experience with the media.

I showed you in a previous blog post how Kamala loves to recite this line in her speeches.

"What can be...unburdened by what has been."

Here are four straight minutes of Kamala reciting that line over and over and over again in her speeches.

I must say that Kamala does take that line to heart.

She is attempting to run for President UNBURDENED by all of the crazy, radical views she has held her entire lifetime. She can then get you believe that she is a reasonable, rational women who has the answers to every problem that plagues us.

Far more sinister is the take that James Lindsay has about Kamala' frequent use of that line.

Lindsay believes those words are not Kamala's typical word salad.

He sees it as a Marxist incantation similar to the slogans that were used in China and Russia before the communists took over in those countries.

They promised a new Marxist utopia ("what can be") but to get there you have to get the people to reject everything in the society's prior history, culture and views ("unburdened by what has been") to accept the radical change in direction.

It may not be a coincidence that radical leftists like Kamala spend so much time demeaning the country's history, wanting to tear down statues, supporting open borders to change the make up of the country and seeing the American flag as more a symbol of hate than hope.

Lindsay may be giving Kamala too much credit here but he provides food for thought that might be worth considering.

I will admit that this take was not something where I had connected the dots until a BeeLine reader  pointed it out to me. (Thank you P.S.!)

How are we supposed to deal with all of this?

How about enjoying a concert this weekend?
