Anecdotal Evidence That The Left Isn't Happy

The remarkably cynical power play by the Dem oligarchs to swap out the hapless and witless Zhou for, well, for Kama Sutra is not receiving uniformly favorable reviews from commentators on the Left. Beyond the issue of her very dubious political skills, the Left’s disquiet-running-to-outrage rests on two issues:

Kama Sutra is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Israel Lobby. There’s an interesting parallel here with the new “PM” in the UK. I have to believe the Left will be geared up to demonstrate in Chicago next month against the genocide in Palestine.

Kama Sutra had a record as AG in CA of wholesale imprisonment of Black males. This will probably not have been forgotten, nor forgiven.

With those considerations in mind, here are some totally anecdotal and unsystematic examples of Leftist reactions. These are unrepresentative and omit the usual pundits on Leftist shows, who are also upset. However, these tweets represent the thinking of committed, true believing Leftists. By the way, another factor—and I have no clue how strong this could prove to be—could be the wrath of the anti war on Russia Left. I personally would not be surprised to see the remainder of the Zhou regime—whether he remains or not—occupied with back pedaling from that war. We shall see.

We start with Michael Tracey, who captures the cynicism of the moment:

Please for the love of God anyone but Kamala

Congrats to Dem donors and “insider” hacks for officially proving that presidential primary elections are fake

What this also proves is that the Democratic Party is fundamentally captive to “elite” consensus (media, operatives, donors, etc.)

I remain thoroughly unconvinced that Kamala Harris is an electorally superior option for Dems than a partially sentient Joe Biden

Kamala Harris really is a trailblazer. She won zero primary delegates in 2020, and zero in 2024, but could still end up as a presidential nominee. Truly historic levels of voter "un-support" nonetheless leading to the highest office in the land

For whatever Biden’s flaws, he did have some legitimate constituencies within the Democratic Party, like organized labor (walked a picket line), whereas Kamala is purely a product of elite “insiders” who engineered this outcome because they love that she can lecture fiercely about abortion, and educate us all about her inspiring identity traits. I don’t even believe that Kamala has as natural a base among Black voters as Biden. That’s why she imploded in the 2020 primaries and the “old white guy” won: because Black voters didn’t support her to nearly the extent eagerly predicted and desired by oblivious pundits

It’s interesting that Tracey fingers the abortion issue. Who among Dem “elite insiders” are these abortion enthusiasts who are also KS enthusiasts?

Kamala barely even won her first race for Attorney General in California. Can someone point to a single instance of this amazing political skill she allegedly possesses?

So the new "Dem insider" consensus is that Biden is an American Hero, the modern George Washington, because he shut down any real primary challenge despite obvious cognitive impairment, and has now obviated the entire Dem primary process by coronating his unpopular Vice President

"Dem insider" logic = Kamala will do much better among Black male voters in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania who've been increasingly defecting from Dems because she's a half Indian and half Jamaican former prosecutor from Berkeley, CA

Dems can butter up Biden all they want with paeans to his selflessness and humility, but withdrawing under duress just weeks before the Convention with 99% of delegates already pledged to him is a public humiliation spectacle that has no obvious parallel in American history

Max B. cites Jimmy Dore’s view on the Dem hustle:

Jimmy Dore @jimmy_dore

Feels like this was the party’s plan all along. Which is why they didn’t allow any debates or a real primary and why they had to make sure they forced RFK out of the primary because he would be next in line for the nomination in this situation.

doing it this way only loyal establishment Party delegates would be selected for the convention so when the party finally forced Biden out they would have only establishment loyal delegates to choose the new nominee assuring an establishment nominee.

So the Democrats rigged another primary, which makes that three in a row, from the party who says that democracy is on the ballot! Lol!

This could be a real wild card. Note the date, 2019. Leftist Blacks are well aware of who she really is:

Freedom Rider: Kamala Harris Destroyed Black Lives

Kamala Harris has a long and ugly track record as a vicious San Francisco DA & and CA state attorney general, shoveling people by the thousand into the US prison gulag.

Diversity in the Democratic Party means politicians of various races, faiths and sexual persuasions lining up dutifully and immediately in support of the candidate and agenda selected by Wall Street billionaires.

Joe Biden is about to get couped by his own party and it's going to come full circle to 2014 Kiev, when project Ukraine has been kicked off by a coup orchestrated by the US regime, overthrowing a democratically elected president of Ukraine, which Joe Biden was instrumental to.

I’m guessing we’re going to see more disaffection on the Left and in the base generally. It seems to me that this was a one time shot. Can the “elite insiders” really pull off another coup if KS implodes on the national stage—as her record suggests? Aren’t they stuck with her?
