I’m NOT Voting For Her! DNC Volunteer Bombshell
A podcaster who mentioned she had volunteered at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago shared that she left the event certain she would not cast her vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Harris had accepted the Democratic nomination to succeed President Joe Biden on Thursday, shortly after Biden announced the end of his reelection campaign.
In a viral TikTok video, Evan, the co-host of the podcast “Rolling In The Deep State,” expressed that the convention attendees were “the most elite and out-of-touch people in the entire world.”
“When I was there, I didn’t feel any connection to real America or the place that I come from, which is the Midwest, Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri,” the volunteer said. “I didn’t feel any connection to the people that I know right now, who are struggling to buy their groceries or to pay their rent, the people who want to know what both candidates are going to do to materially affect change in their lives. And when I was there listening to the speeches, I felt myself feeling mad because I didn’t hear anything about the economy, definitely not in Kamala’s speech and not very much in the others as well. Instead, I heard generic platitudes, things like joy and respect and integrity. And what does that even mean? Let’s make the military the most lethal in the world? I thought I was part of the anti-war party. I thought I was part of the party that thought for the underdog, that championed working people. When and how did we just become the party of academia and affluence? That’s what we are right now.”
During an August 16 speech on economic policy in North Carolina, Harris suggested that the Federal Trade Commission should be empowered to enforce “harsh penalties” against grocery stores engaging in “price gouging.” Despite this proposal, she has yet to participate in a sit-down interview or hold a press conference since Biden announced he would not seek reelection.
“How can we ever say that we’re going to fight corporate power or give a voice back to those communities that have been left behind when above the delegates on the floor and levels and levels and rings of suites were donors in corporations that were literally looking down on the people below from above? That’s what Chris Cuomo said and he’s absolutely right,” the volunteer said. “You know, I went to the DNC this year hoping that I would feel reconnected to the Democratic Party, that I would have more of a sense of understanding of Kamala and her candidacy and what she stood for, but instead I ended up leaving and feeling the opposite, more disconnected and alone than ever. And I don’t think I can support Kamala Harris for president. I don’t even know if I can call myself a Democrat anymore. I don’t know who I’m gonna be supporting, but I know it’s not her. And for once, I’m not afraid to say it.”
