For all his faults, and there are many of them, former President Donald Trump did not invite Russian President Vladimir Putin to attack NATO, he does not support national legislation banning abortion, and unfortunately, he has no interest in reforming Social Security and Medicare. Harris falsely attributed each of these positions to her opponent Thursday night.

But politicians mischaracterize their opponents’ positions all the time, so Harris is not unusual in that way. What made her otherwise forgettable speech noteworthy, especially when combined with the whole convention’s content-free, celebrity-obsessed gloss, was the core scam that Harris and her party are engaged in.

“With this election, our nation has a precious, fleeting opportunity to move past the bitterness, cynicism, and divisive battles of the past,” Harris said, “a chance to chart a new way forward. Not as members of any one party or faction, but as Americans.

“I know there are people of various political views watching tonight, and I want you to know, I promise to be a president for all Americans,” she continued. “You can always trust me to put country above party and self.”

This sounds about as nice as it does when every other presidential candidate says it. But Harris has never attempted bipartisanship in her entire career, nor passed any bipartisan legislation. It is no coincidence that Harris ranked as the most left-wing senator while she was there. She was a reliable vote for the most partisan Democratic legislation. As vice president, she continued the same way, casting more tiebreaking votes than any other vice president in history, all of them for the most partisan, most divisive, most radical legislation the Democratic Caucus could muster.

Like President Joe Biden before her, Harris would be an empty suit, easily manipulated by the Democratic Party blob, consisting of far-left academics, activists, media professionals, and a few unelected officials. They would continue to foist the woke imperium on an increasingly skeptical and nationalized general public. It is a tired, failed agenda that, when articulated clearly, loses at the ballot box. Hence all the Hollywood-vibe hype to obscure their true intentions.

You can tell most about a politician or campaign by what she or it seeks to conceal. On any policy one cares to name, Harris and the Democrats are presenting themselves as more centrist and less radical than they are. They don’t want voters to see them for who they are. That is because they want to impose their unpopular ideas on a country that does not want them.

Trump, for all his faults, and they are many, is, in the words of one comedian, an honest liar. But after his four years in office and almost a decade on the political stage, voters know what they are getting.

Harris may be able to fool enough voters to win this November. It’s not clear. But what is clear after this week is that a vote for her is a vote for another four years of the same policies that the country has endured under Biden, only all made either marginally or substantially more extreme and worse. Voters say they don’t want what they have. If they vote for Harris, they are going to get more, a lot more, of the same.
