The Strongest Evidence Favorable to Harris as Our Next President
I have written many articles unfavorable to Kamala Harris as America’s next President, and documenting that she is a neoconservative and believes that wealthy people (especially billionaires, who benefit enormously from neoconservative U.S. policies) are superior to poor people, and that therefore she is willing to increase military and coup spending to expand yet further the U.S. Government’s empire — add new colonies (‘allies’) — even if this will require spending less on health, education, and welfare, for the American public. So, on that basis, she might be an even worse President than Donald Trump was and will be.

In other words: though she does believe that rich people are superior to poor people, she also believes that the people who donate to her political career have no right to be served by her as a public official more than a poor person who votes for her does. She believes that she represents the voters, not the donors (other than a donor’s being also a voter). That is shocking, because extremely few successful U.S. politicians believe that way today — they favor aristocracy over democracy.
Here is the passage, from a discussion that she had with supportive male black small-businessmen in a South Carolina barbershop, on 19 November 2019, before she terminated her 2020 Presidential candidacy:
28:15: She corrected one of the discussants who said that donors “own” a candidate; she immediately broke in, there, to say, “not own a candidate, but” and then all of the men broke out in laughter, after which she said (so as not to make the man who had said it dislike he
