Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are far-left soulmates
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are far-left ideological soulmates.
This article is the second part to the piece already published at The Times of Israel blog: https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/kamala-harris-israel-and-the-free-world/
There are twenty-five Democrats from twenty-seven Jewish Representatives in the House of Representatives in the US Congress, all nine Jewish Senators in the US Congress are Democrats and four Jews Democrats are governors of the states. Considering this you would think Jews have the gravitas, influence and respect in the Democratic Party of USA. But choice of the presumptive nominee for the President of United States of America from Democratic Party Kamala Harris for Vice President shows that being a Jew is detrimental to the promotion to the second highest job in the republic. She had chosen Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, from the three contenders for the job. One of the hopefuls was the Jewish governor of Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro.
It the prerogative of the presumptive nominee for the President to choose whoever she likes to be her Vice President and the selection says a lot of Kamala Harris as a possible future leader of the free world.
It is logical to assume that the two important criteria for the person to be chosen for the position of the Vice President are: his/her ideology meets the beliefs of the future President and the vetting process identifying an individual with a spotless reputation.
The problem is Ms. Harris herself does not have clearly defined beliefs on most of the essential to the country issues. One day she is against fracking next her attitude changes from negative to positive without any factual justification. In 2019, during the Democratic primaries, Kamala was proposing to ban the private insurance and was for introduction of the single-payer health insurance program now she is against it. At the same event, she stated that people who cross the border illegally shouldn’t be considered criminals now she wants to strengthen the border enforcement. The list of flip-flopping continues with clear evidence of the absence of moral and ethical principles in the character of the presumptive nominee for President of US from Democratic Party.
The successful candidate for the position of the Vice President Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, promotes far left liberal policies in the state under his stewardship. He made the abortion universally accessible to women of Minnesota and to people from other states. Walz issued an executive order which prohibits the state agencies to cooperate in investigations aimed to penalize gender-affirming care. He was calling these actions as a ‘grave threat’ to the health of members of LGBTQ+ community. Walz made it mandatory for the school districts and charter schools to provide free menstrual products in all restrooms, for both girls and boys.
With Tim Walz’s selection for the job of the Vice President, Ms. Harris’s did not compromise her real beliefs and let everybody know that she is a radical leftist politician. Ideologically and ethically they are soulmates.
There were certain advantages to the Ms. Harris’s election campaign to choose Josh Shapiro as her running mate. The governor of Pennsylvania could bring more votes in his swing state and attract more independent voters considering Shapiro’s centrist positions on some of the issues.
The Jewish Democrats in the positions of authority such as Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer, twenty-five House Representatives, nine Senators and four Governors including the governor of Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro are powerless to stop the slide of their party to far left which inevitably will lead to anti-Israeli policies and rise of the antisemitism. Despite of being a loyal Democrat who follows the positions of the party, the Jewish governor of Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro was not chosen for the job of Vice President because Kamala Harris did not want to antagonize the rising far-left wing of her party as well as to secure the votes of the American Muslims.
If the tandem of far-left radicals and hypocrites, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, win the election it should sent chills down the spines to the three quarter of American Jews who usually vote for Democrats.
