Harris: ‘The Nature of a Democracy is Such That I Think There’s a Duality’
Once again, Harris brings up a duality in democracy. Going to push my fingers into my eyes again.
If VP Kamala Harris keeps bringing up duality, I will quote Slipknot’s “Duality,” which makes sense because it fits the political mood so well.
(I linked the video at the bottom. It’s nu-metal, so yeah, it’s loud but genius.)
Anyway, Harris put together a monologue that makes no sense (as usual) during her town hall last night:
If I can just speak to what people are feeling. We cannot despair. We cannot despair. The nature of a democracy is such that I think there’s a duality. On the one hand, there’s an incredible strength when our democracy is intact. An incredible strength in what it does to protect the freedoms and rights of its people. Oh, there’s great strength in that. And it is very fragile. It is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it.
And so that’s the moment we’re in. And I say do not despair, because in a democracy, as long as we can keep it in our democracy. The people, every individual has the power to make a decision about what this will be, and so let’s not feel powerless.
Let’s not let the some and I get it, overwhelming nature of this, all make us feel powerless because then we have been defeated, and that’s not our character as the American people. We are not one to be defeated.
We rise to a moment and we stand on broad shoulders of people who have fought this fight before for our country. And in many ways, let us look at the challenge then that we are being presented and not be overwhelmed by it. The baton is now in our hands to fight for, not against, but for this country we love.
That’s what we have the power to do. So let’s own that. Dare I say, be joyful in what we will do in the process of owning that which is knowing that we can and will build community and coalitions and remind people that we’re all in this together. Let’s not let the overwhelming nature of this strip us of our strength. That’s how I feel about this.
What the what. I have NO idea what she said. Do you?
Also, look at Liz Cheney’s face. LOL.

The crone-harlot-dunce opines upon duality. I hear there are lots of “holistic” attributes to such duality.
“Holistic” — big word, big word. The wretched harridan clearly believes that someone who uses it must be smart and important, LOL.
“Duality.” Is that how they describe the Dem’s two tiered system of justice?
Sounds like she’s admitting that she’s two-faced.
Yes. There is a Democratic Republic then there is communism like Harris.
We must be unburdened by the duality which has been; Oh, there’s great strength in that. And it is very fragile.
She is trying to be that faculty lounge condescending twit but just doesn’t have the intellectual Chops to bring it off so just sounds like your annoying girlfriend in college who was kinda hot and good in bed but just wasn’t worth the agony of hearing her speak
Reminds me of Matthew Modine’s character Joker in ‘Full Metal Jacket’ when asked by a general to account for the symbols on his helmet.
I know exactly what Harris said: “MOB RULE – as long as I’m comfortably protected by security fences, and armed guards, but the masses are not.”
You know, duality.
Democrats redefine lots of words based on election results. Althouse put up a post about leftist angst over the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence which devolved into a debate about patriotism in the comments, patriotism being another word Democrats redefine (or not) every four years depending on the election.
Harris’s word salad is basically a long-winded way of saying the same thing Democrats have been saying since at least the 2000 Presidental election. If they win that means Democracy happened, if they lose then the will of the people was obviously thwarted by some non-democrat intervention.
For Marxists (and Progressives are Marxists) “democracy means “the will of the proletariat” and is a stage through which a society progresses on its way to “true socialism/communism.” And, while that mob (basically the proletariat is the underclasses driven by a politics of envy) is voting their anger and fear in order to seize the means of production, they must be guided by an elite class of Marxists who can tell them when they’re mobbing correctly.
Voila! The mysteriously never ending Dictatorship of the Proletariat….. In the USSR, the Communist Party wasn’t for everyone and even then they thinned the ranks of the Party to increase power.
Thumbs up for the phrase, “The mysteriously never ending Dictatorship of the Proletariat”. Funny how not a single instance of communism has ever managed to get past that “temporary, but regretfully necessay” stage.
She reminds me of almost every sorority girl I knew in college who liked to talk a lot but say very little. They thought because they talked a lot, were above average attractive, and used “big vocabulary words” that made them smart and poignant. Really it just made them annoying and easy to tune out. Honestly the Democrat party should have stuck with senile Joe, he actually has more substance to his speeches and weirdly is more likeable than her. Maybe just because we feel bad for him; but what can I say she just is grating in her stupidity and lack of awareness of said vapidness.
You must have picked the wrong girls. The ones I knew did little talking.
Ha! Well since I was in a sorority for a brief period of time, I feel pretty okay making that statement about vapid droning on. I had several friends that stayed in it despite hating most of the stupid activities because the social climbing part is very useful. But I’m just one woman with one experience , feel free to disagree.
We all speak from our experiences. Many of my friends that were in sororities were motivated, smart and interesting, far from vapidness. The generalization is easily to ascribe to those famous Queenies that appear in any group, dorms, companies, social organizations and churches.
Harris was a sorority girl, so maybe you did peg it. Probably a Queenie.
Alpha Kappa Alpha is a historic African American sorority, founded on the campus of Howard University, Harris’ alma mater. It was the first Black sorority of its kind, and is a part of the “Divine Nine,” a group of Black Pan-Hellenic organizations.
Members of Alpha Kappa Alpha and other groups in the Divine Nine have already rallied to support Harris’ bid for the presidency, networking and organizing to raise millions upon millions of dollars for her campaign. Harris is also a frequent presence at high-profile events, including Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.’s biennial convention earlier this month.
I was always particularly fond of brunettes.
Let’s see…Crash was famous for drinking straight from the tap and she destroyed furniture. Buttercup couldn’t find a red cup at a kegger so got a margarine tub from a cupboard and carried on.
I will take Russian dressing on that salad please..
And, perhaps with a dash of bifurcation?
You mean her propensity to be two faced and flip flop on every issue?
And I think you’re insulting actual flip-floppers.
She isn’t flip-flopping, she’s just lying about things so people will vote for her. She’s not even trying, really, just mouthing the words.
Thanks Kamala, can I just get my fries?
Would you eat anything she touched?
“And so that’s the moment we’re in. And I say do not despair, because in a democracy, as long as we can keep it in our democracy.”
Ms. Harris cannot understand why we oppose her candidacy when she blathers on about “our democracy”.
*Bleep* your democracy – you’re running for an office in which exactly zero people voted to nominate you to.
Not to mention the fact that this government is a constitutional republic, not a democracy, and for exceeding good reasons.
When a progressive talks about “our democracy” remember, the emphasis is not on the word ‘democracy’, but on the word ‘our’. It’s THEIR democracy, not yours or mine, and they’ll decide what kind of democracy it is. If it’s to be mob rule and a complete disregard of the constitution, law, norms, and culture, so be it — it’s THEIRS, not yours.
Listen carefully and you’ll hear them stress the word ‘our’, not ‘democracy’. It’s a tell.
Very important observation you make. The corollary is that anything/anyone that presents a hurdle to d/prog gaining/maintaining political power is, in the view of d/prog, a threat to democracy. See the labeling of GoP candidates as fascists, even a wuss like Romney.
I agree with your take on how they use the word, “our”. But I also substitute the word “kleptocracy” every time they use the word “democracy” because I believe that is what they really mean.
In her “democracy”, there is a duality – the ruling elite and the proles.
She will never forgive Trump breaking her and ending her political career; not that Trump cares.
Hillary has the same problem.
She used the word “Duality” which means two but I could never find the second part. She said, “On the one hand” but I never found the other hand. I did find an olive and a few small tomatoes though.
Yeah, I was also looking for the “other hand” and came up empty. I guess she was unburdened of half of her salad. Probably a good thing for anyone making an effort to follow her train of thought.
It was in the part about “strength” and “fragility.” Yeah, I made that face, too.
Ohhhh. So that was the point she was trying to make?
And perhaps, as an example of that fragility, she could have commented on how her party ousted the candidate selected— however reluctantly since they weren’t given any other options—-by the voters and then installed another candidate with no input from the voters.
Post election the leftists propping up Harris as a serious person are gonna drop her faster than they ran from Michael Avenatti.
Although I think that the “vote harvesting” machine makes the polls a poor predictor, there is nothing that I would like more than a Trump win and a public comment from Joe that he would have done better.
This sure looks like an “exit tour”
I really wonder where Harris will be come a year from now.
Teaching Walz how to act like a man?
Come forward the political analysis. Stay for some Slipknot! 🤘
Nicely done, Mary

Thank you!! One of my favorite bands! So glad I finally saw them in concert this year.
The other bizarre aspect of this supposed Town Hall is that no questions were taken from the audience:
Maria Shriver, the moderator of a town hall event with Vice President Kamala Harris and former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) on Monday, told the audience that they would not be allowed to ask spontaneous questions as “pre-determined questions” had already been picked.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2024/10/21/moderator_of_kamala_harris_town_hall_with_liz_chene_to_audience_no_questions_we_have_pre-determined_questions.html?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0TDWMVXkK359pvu_1wt12YUuCJX29OfAWdD2vCrpWmmDM4zu4mOXpOLZ4_aem_jy6ZlUWAC2i9z33hqoX-ow
Isn’t that the purpose of a town hall?
And they aren’t just about the questions and answers. A town hall provides the candidate and the individual participants the opportunity to actually to interact with one another one on one.
I suspect she was worried about both providing unscripted answers as well as the interaction with the individual participants.
It’s like the Univision “town hall,” where it was so scripted and predetermined that she had a TELEPROMPTER there to help/guide her.
Once again, she read the back cover of the Cliff’s Notes of the book, only got 2 words out of it, and so repeated them over and over in a horrid mish-mash of nothingness. Can we get a decent 8th-grade teacher to walk up and hand her a F report card?
Miss America contestants give better answers than Kamala.
Gotta hand one thing to her – there’s nobody better at stringing together an endless stream of platitudes. She reeled off five paragraphs of words, all entirely without any real content/meaning. Have you ever seen anyone with such talent?
Yes.
“$20, same as in town.”
What Harris means is when the 2 parties disagree, there should be a duel to settle the matter.
To be fair, the threat of being forced into a duel or choosing public banishment would probably have a positive impact towards toning down the more outlandish claims and disparaging remarks.
The “Duality” that liberals lament about democracy is that the voters have the option to vote for the other guy.
As far as they’re concerned, throwing Trump in prison and preventing us from voting for him are protecting democracy by eliminating the “duality” of our option to vote them out of power.
and the beauty of it all is that
harris is the best of allll of them
Can you imagine having this idiot Harris serve as our president, negotiating with the leaders of other countries?
She is an embarrassment.
Hillary, for all her solipsism and evil plans, at least was not stupid.
Kamala is way over to the left side of the bell curve.
She throws around words she doesn’t know how to use in sentence.
Almost sounds like english could be 2nd language for her?
Seriously, does that claptrap connect with ANYBODY? I’d rather be waterboarded than have to listen to that.
Kamala has zero natural skill at “retail politics”.
I can rest easy knowing none of my kids would ever disgrace themselves to the extent Liz has just to get back at someone who was mean to her daddy. Good grief. Has there ever been a more self-destructive political vendetta?
Word Salad Annie.
The duality I’m interested in discussing is the one where Democrats are never punished for their crimes, while everybody else is punished for their mere opinions.
Blow that democracy bullschiff out your ass kameleon. We’re a republic.
LOL. Komrade Kamala’s English is wanting. She keeps saying “duality” when she means to say “dichotomy”. And she carries on with this mistake over and over and over and none of her people have told her that she sounds like a moron.
This link to Greg Gutfelds monologue on this very topic, her repeated phrasing of “duality” is hilarious !
