The selection of Kamala Harris and the degradation of American politics

With the selection of Kamala Harris to be the running mate of Joe Biden, the framework of the 2020 elections has been set. As was to be expected, the Democrats have chosen the most right-wing candidates to run the most right-wing campaign possible.

{The selection of Harris exposes the utterly reactionary character of politics that bases itself on race, gender and other forms of identity—anything but class. In response to the eruption of protests against police violence, the Democrats did everything they could to obscure the class issues, promote racial divisions and propagate the lie that the violence of the police is an expression of the oppression of “black America” by “white America.” The outcome of this racialist campaign is the selection as their vice-presidential candidate of a right-wing ex-prosecutor who once covered up evidence to keep an innocent man on death row and worked to tear immigrant children from their parents.}

{According to Kendi, politicians “reflect” the American people not because of the socioeconomic forces they represent, but solely by their racial and ethnic background and their gender. Interests are determined by race. This is not progressive politics, but right-wing and racialist politics, which shares much in common with the fascistic politics of Donald Trump.}

{Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King wrote that he was “incredibly proud to see a brilliant Black woman, and HBCU [historically black colleges and universities] grad, chosen as a vice presidential nominee.” This was, he added, the stuff “dreams are made of.”

Commenters on Twitter quickly pointed to the contrast between this statement and his declaration in November 2018 that he would never support Biden or Harris because “they both helped build & advance mass incarceration.”}

People, I couldn't possibly make this shit up any better even if my goal here was to deliver to you fake news and totally manufactured conspiracy theories. In which I often warn you i'm going out of a limb when I'm providing conjecture. And that I give you now.

This is that part of BLM that I speak of having become reliant on the democratic party apparatus towards helping their cause. I have to wonder how much of the ability to keep receiving NGO funds and party support played a part in him doing a 180 on that previous statement. It would install a lot of fear in such a group should it be dissenting the next time it hit the streets if these 2 manage to win and loss the party support structure, even as fake as it is. And need to be able to have the media exposure it receives, even as fake as it is. He basically just exposed BLM now as being a political shit show sucking off the emotions and hard work of its supporters, those who go out and put their safety on the line.

And or could this be the reason {Political principles have never been a strong suit of Democratic Party hacks. They look forward to positions within the Biden administration and other opportunities that will reap financial rewards.}
