The biggest lie of all is that Vice President Kamala Harris bears no responsibility for Joe Biden’s failed presidency.
It almost goes without saying that what Democrats are putting on at the DNC this week in Chicago is a simulacrum of democracy, a mimicry of the excitement and drama that might have come from a deliberative process of Democrat Party voters choosing their presidential candidate.
None of it is real. The DNC has all the trappings of a major political party convention but without any of the substance. Not a single Democrat voter cast a primary ballot for Vice President Kamala Harris, yet Democrats are going through the motions as if that’s exactly what happened.
They even trotted out President Joe Biden—the putative head of the Democrat Party, whose reelection campaign was abruptly ended by party bosses against his will—late on the first night of the convention. It was a mere formality. Biden delivered a slurred, angry speech, full of lies and distortions, and then they shuffled him off to Santa Barbara for the rest of the week, rendering the sitting president a nonparticipant in his own party’s convention.
