The New York Times, that reliable organ of establishment politics and anti-Trump mania, has also aired the view that the Democratic Party, in not endorsing a competitive process, had adopted “the playbook of ruling parties in authoritarian states.” From the top, the choice has been dictated; the rank and file had to accordingly “fall in line and clap enthusiastically.” The “manifest weaknesses” of Harris – her unpopularity, her poor campaigning, her abysmal management and tendency towards favouritism, her “penchant for excruciating banality,” and her Bay Area standing – were to be religiously ignored.
No matter how many times Greg Abbott and Trump lie about her being a failed “border czar,” Harris’ responsibility was to mitigate the root causes of migration, which, unsurprisingly, she accomplished. Initiatives established by the Biden Administration and instituted by Harris have included numerous investments in jobs for the region by American corporations.
- Gap committed to increasing its material sourcing from Central America, aiming for $150 million and is expected to create 5,000 additional jobs in the region.
- Visa plans to invest $270 million over the next five years to integrate more people and small- to medium-sized businesses into the global financial system
- AgroAmerica, a family-owned food corporation is investing $100 million across several projects, including a food ingredients refinery, a banana plantation, and an avocado plantation and processing plant, which will create 1,000 permanent jobs with living wages.
- Nespresso (Nestlé) is supporting over 7,500 coffee producers with regenerative agriculture practices and training.
- Target has committed to increasing its spending by $300 million in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras by 2033.
- Columbia Sportswear plans to create over 6,900 jobs in the region by purchasing up to $200 million in products.
- Millicom is investing an additional $350 million by 2025 to expand and maintain its mobile and broadband networks in the region.
Those are plain and stubborn facts, not the political untruths being spread by Abbott and Trump. Lying, of course, has worked effectively in modern American politics, but there is a rising hope it’s time is almost done.
If Kamala Harris really wants to show she is ready to turn a new page in the campaign against Donald Trump, it’s obvious who her choice as running mate should be: Bernie Sanders.
Harris has been a staunch supporter of Israel for years. In 2017 she addressed the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s (AIPAC) annual conference and reminded attendees that the first resolution she co-sponsored as a senator was aimed at combating “anti-Israel bias” at the United Nations.
