因拉下马哈佛Gay校长而在X上一战成名的亿万富翁@BillAckman，之后的战绩也保持着屡战屡胜，包括顺利督促拜登下课不再竞选连任。希望他的大选选择也可以幸运地应验。这篇文章没一句废话，值得一读。

让我们不要忘记，@POTUS 拜登在63天前还是民主党的总统候选人。
政府和媒体曾告诉我们，拜登身体状况完好无损，称那些显示他严重衰退的视频是“右翼谣言”。
然而，在面临第25条修正案的威胁下，7月21日他让位，由@KamalaHarris接替，而她是这场谎言的同谋。她明知真相，却对美国人民撒谎。她保持沉默的回报是，在没有初选或其他透明选拔程序的情况下，成为了一党的总统候选人。
拜登的谎言或许是政府对美国人民撒下的最大谎言。而这谎言也是现任民主党总统候选人一再面无表情地告诉我们的。
突然之间，这位曾经是最左倾的参议员（自称比伯尼还左），如今却在过去两个月里摇身一变，成了一个持枪护家、支持水力压裂开采、修建边境墙的候选人，而她的职业生涯居然始于麦丹劳。她几乎听起来像一位共和党总统候选人。
怎么能相信她说的任何话呢？
即便你仔细看她的发言或阅读她做过的四次采访和一次辩论的文字记录，几乎不可能理解她在说什么。她至今没有正面回答任何关于经济、边境或外交政策的问题。在回应具体政策的问题时，她只是重复一些关于自己曾是检察官、成长于中产阶级家庭等陈词滥调，或者讲些无关紧要的故事，而媒体和主持人都没有质疑这些空洞、无效的回答。
我投票给了@JoeBiden，因为在@realDonaldTrump的第一任期后，我认为国家需要一个更中间派的候选人。拜登承诺要团结国家。而且拜登被认为是“单任期”总统，我们被误导认为他不会受制于党内的进步派，可以推行温和的政治议程。
我和美国人民被误导了。我为投票给拜登感到抱歉，这是个大错误。
副总统哈里斯的整个竞选依赖于一群幕后操纵的党内领导人的支持，他们通过私下程序选中了她。她在初选中没有得到一张选票。因此，她可能是历史上最依赖于党内势力的候选人。
她的竞选活动显然是为了说出一切有助于她当选的话。与历史上任何一位候选人相比，她的公开露面少之又少，这样人们就难以真正了解她是谁，她到底信什么。
她在过去的63天里仅接受了四次采访，而@Tim_Walz也只有四次，而相比之下，川普和@JDVance则有70次。
想想看，历史上有哪位总统候选人曾经通过尽量回避媒体来进行竞选？你找不到一个。那么再问自己，为什么？
副总统哈里斯的闪烁其词在这里之所以可能，是因为一个与她同谋的媒体，这些媒体本应大声疾呼她拒绝接受采访的事实，但他们却一次次为她和她的竞选辩护并加以赞美。
在拜登/哈里斯政府的近四年时间里，世界陷入了战火，欧洲的热战已导致接近一百万人丧生，中东的冲突也在升级。我们的大小城市充斥着未经背景调查的移民，带来的后果是犯罪、预算和公共服务的压力增加，低收入的美国人甚至难以负担一顿像样的饭。我们的大学已成为仇恨的温床。言论自由正被压制，除了@X是一方净土之外，而它和它的老板@elonmusk则很可能成为未来哈里斯政府的首要目标。我们的政府支出和浪费已完全失控，其实我还可以继续列下去。
我强烈鼓励大家据此投票。

@BillAckman
Let’s not forget that@POTUS Biden was the Democratic presidential candidate 63 days ago.
We were told by the administration and the media that Biden was in perfect health and that videos of him exhibiting serious deterioration were ‘right wing propaganda.’
Then, threatened with the 25th amendment, on July 21st, he stepped aside to be replaced by@KamalaHarris who was complicit in the lie. She knew, and she told the American people otherwise. Her reward for keeping quiet was to become the presidential candidate without a primary or other transparent process for her selection.
The Biden lie is perhaps the greatest lie ever told to the American people by our government. And this lie was also told to us repeatedly with a bold face by the current Democratic nominee for president.
Now all of a sudden, the former most left-leaning Senator (proudly left of Bernie) and now the most left-wing politician in the country, over the last two months has become a gun-toting, shoot-the-intruder, fracking-supporting, border-wall-building candidate who began her career at @McDonalds. She almost sounds like a Republican candidate for president.
How can anyone trust anything she says?
Even if you carefully watch her speak or read the transcripts of the four interviews and one debate she has done, it is nearly impossible to understand what she is saying. She has yet to answer a direct question about the economy, the border, or foreign policy.
In response to questions about specific policies, she simply repeats the same scripted stories about being a prosecutor, growing up middle, and/or other non-sequiturs, and neither the media nor the moderators challenge these insipid, unresponsive answers.
I voted for@JoeBiden because after@realDonaldTrump’s first term, I believed the country would benefit by a more centrist candidate. Biden promised to bring the country together. And as Biden was a supposed ‘one-term’ president, we were misled into believing he wouldn’t be beholden to the progressive wing of the party and could implement a moderate political agenda.
I and the American people were misled. I apologize for casting my vote for Biden. It was a big mistake.
VP Harris’s entire candidacy relies on support from an undisclosed cabal of party leaders who selected her in a private process. She didn’t get one vote in a primary. As such, she is perhaps the most beholden-to-the party candidate in history.
Her campaign is a blatant attempt to say what she needs to say in order to get elected. She is keeping her appearances unprecedentedly limited compared to any other candidate in history so that she has less surface area to be understood for who she really is and what she actually believes.
She has done four interviews and @Tim_Walz four during the last 63 days compared to 70 for Trump and @JDVance.
[See: https://axios.com/2024/09/19/harris-media-strategy-hide-election…]
Ask yourself, what previous presidential candidate in history has run a campaign doing everything he or she could to avoid the media? You won’t find one. Then ask yourself, why?
VP Harris’ evasiveness is only possible here because of a complicit media which should be screaming from the rooftops about her refusal to be interviewed, but instead repeatedly excuse and praise her and her campaign.
In the nearly four years of the Biden/Harris administration, the world is up in flames with a hot war in Europe with approaching one million dead, and a growing conflagration in the Middle East. Our large and small cities are overrun with unvetted migrants with the associated impact on crime, budgets, and services, and lower income Americans cannot afford a proper meal. Our universities have become hotbeds of hate. Free speech is being squelched except for@X, one of the first likely targets, along with its proprietor@elonmusk, of a future Harris administration. Our government spending and waste are totally out of control and I could go on and on.
I strongly encourage you to vote accordingly.
