You've probably noticed this week during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago that the Dems are going out of their way to...
--Pretend Kamala Harris has had no control over anything for the past nearly four years.
--Pretend the Democrats actually care about securing the border.
--Pretend the Democrats don't want to raise taxes.
--Pretend "at some point you've got enough" Dems like Michelle Obama aren't monumental hypocrites.

--Pretend Tim "snitch line" Walz actually believes in "mind your own damn business."
--Pretend they love America as founded except for big parts of the Constitution all while some of their voters burn American flags just outside the security fence of irony.
--Pretend billionaires like Oprah Winfrey bitching about income inequality and oppression isn't hilarious.
--Pretend Kamala Harris doesn't want to ban fracking.
--Pretend Kamala Harris was never put in charge of the border.
--Pretend Joe Biden willingly stepped aside without being threatened or having his arm twisted.
Well, you get the point.
This week the Democrats are pretending they're not Democrats, because they know their stance on major issues aren't popular in parts of the country they need in order to win. That's why Harris chose Tim Walz and, in a move they seem to think will appeal to midwestern swing state voters, told him to act like a cross between Hayden Fox from the old show "Coach" and Junior Samples from the older show "Hee Haw." But such things will happen when a liberal adviser from the Acela corridor is asked to create what he thinks is a version of the average midwestern guy.
One major issue for the Democrats is climate change and all their insane proposals ostensibly designed to save humanity from a fiery demise caused by the burning of fossil fuels. For some reason they're not talking much about that this week.
Even the Washington Post has noticed, in a "quiet part out loud" kind of way:
BOMBSHELL admission in The Washington Post: "Why Democrats are so quiet about climate change right now"

Kamala Harris and the Dems know they're way too far out on the Left for the majority of the country, so when it really counts, they're forced to try and hide who they really are:
After casting the tiebreaking vote for the biggest climate bill in U.S. history, Vice President Kamala Harris would seem to have some environmental bragging rights.
Yet Harris and other top Democrats have not highlighted climate change or the environment in recent stump speeches, including keynote remarks at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week. Former president Donald Trump, by contrast, has continued to attack Harris for her alleged “war on American energy,” and several speakers at last month’s Republican National Convention lambasted gasoline prices under President Joe Biden.
The Dems being forced to back-burner their climate change BS has actually been a nice break. Kamala Harris herself even said "f**k you, environment" this week when she did this:

Democrats are HYPOCRITES.
What happened to the whole “climate change” thing? 🤣 pic.twitter.com/eZNDd6YqyO
"The burning of fossil fuels is the greatest existential threat humanity faces. Hey, tell the pilot to fly around a while longer so I can finish watching my husband's speech."
How there's anybody left who still takes these people seriously is anybody's guess.
