Hillary Clinton’s Endorsement of Kamala Harris

by Eric Zuesse, The Duran:

She said, “Ms. Harris’s record and character will be distorted and disparaged by a flood of disinformation and the kind of ugly prejudice we’re already hearing from MAGA mouthpieces.” I’m hardly a “MAGA mouthpiece,” and was active in the Democratic Party, both as a representative at my state’s convention and as a vice-chairman of my town’s Democratic Party, until 24 January 2013, when I headlined at Huffington Post “Barack Obama Is Now Completing His Long-Held Plan to Subvert the Democratic Party” and offered evidence that the reason why Obama had entered politics as a Democrat instead of as a Republican was that Nixon’s “Southern Strategy” had made it impossible for a Black to win that Party’s Presidential nomination, though Obama’s actions as the President by then had shown that he was much more favorable toward the Republican Party’s ideology and policies than toward the Democratic Party’s ideology and policies. So, that’s when I became an independent. On 29 July 2024, I headlined “Donald Trump’s and Kamala Harris’s Most Dangerous Policies” and concluded with: “Choosing between those two is like a death-sentenced convict being given a choice between being killed by a firing-squad or else by a hanging.
