[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 405111, member: 35"] That much is true, but it only proves that presidents are puppets used to sell the establishment's agenda. All that matters is the puppet is functional and doesn't go off-script. Propping up senile Biden long enough for Harris to step in will feel a bit like a coup if it happens. But then Dems don't [I]really[/I] care about democracy any more than Republicans. I don't think it's a cheap shot. Harris's cackle is a tell, which unconsciously comes out whenever she's being deceptive or when she can't come up with a substantive response. As a prosecutor, Harris's treatment and exploitation of poor, non-violent offenders was shameful. After all, this is what ended her 2020 run for president. Many believe she was the Dem establishment's preferred candidate because they didn't want another "old, white man." But when that failed, anointing her Biden's VP was the perfect contingency. Harris is an empty vessel for the establishment. As Democratic strategist Julian Epstein stated, "It's not clear what a Harris administration would look like, as she has never exhibited a core set of beliefs on anything as far as I can see, and her pre-VP federal experience is relatively limited. For the most part, she has been, like many politicians, an opportunist. She jailed lots of people for marijuana possession and then tweets about her support for legalization. She was a centrist prosecutor, then a social justice warrior." [/QUOTE]
