An analyst has argued that the Democratic Party’s “coronation” of Vice President Kamala Harris to replace President Joe Biden as the presidential nominee demonstrates America’s deepening democratic deficit.
Former Green Party vice-presidential candidate Ajamu Baraka put down this argument in a July 24 op-ed published in Black Agenda Report (BAR). According to him, Biden’s withdrawal was “a gangster move by the oligarchs that control the Democrats.”
“The replacement of Biden as the presidential nominee of the Democratic Party was a dramatic demonstration that the lords of capital are the only segment of the U.S. population with real agency,” Baraka wrote.
“The fact that select oligarchs – in this case, the cabal that actually runs the [Democratic] Party – can remove a presidential nominee and expeditiously anoint Harris as his replacement cannot be characterized as anything else but a coup. The gangster move by the oligarchs that control the Democrats stripped away any pretense that any real structures of democracy exist in that party.” (Related: Democrats quietly prepping to anoint a NEW nominee that’s NOT Kamala Harris – who will it be?)
According to Baraka, this plot reflects a calculated move to maintain control over the political narrative and ensure the continuation of the oligarchs’ preferred agenda. He added that the same forces that orchestrated the 2020 Democratic primaries are behind this plot to crown Harris as the party’s new nominee.
Harris’ appointment suggest continuity rather than change, based on her previously demonstrated alignment with the neoliberal agenda. Her policies and perspectives are expected to reflect those of her predecessor, with no significant departure from the established trajectory of U.S. domestic and foreign policy.
“There was nothing about her policies, worldview or vision because she has no independent policies, worldview, and certainly no vision beyond the agenda that the party and Biden administration have been committed to over the last three and a half years,” Baraka stated.
Baraka, also an editor and contributing columnist for BAR, suggested in the article that Biden’s cognitive decline and inefficacy had made it clear for nearly two years that he would not be a viable candidate for 2024.
“For almost two years, it seemed obvious that Biden would not be a credible candidate in 2024 due to his noticeable cognitive decline and the ineptitude of his administration. [I] assumed that the decision was made as early as 2023 by the party bosses and Biden, but could not be made public because he would immediately become a lame-duck president.”
The former Green Party candidate wasn’t alone in his sentiments toward the Democratic Party, however. Writer and activist Margaret Kimberley also echoed these during a July 25 appearance on Sputnik‘s “The Critical Hour.”
“They pushed Biden through, they rigged it for him four years ago. They lied about his health for the past four years, told us not to believe our lying eyes when we could see his declining state of health. And when they saw the failure of their plan, they unceremoniously shoved him under the bus,” said Kimberley, who serves as BAR‘s executive editor.
“[The] Democratic Party [is] going to have a presidential nominee who nobody voted for to be president. If this happened anywhere else in the world, we’d call it a banana republic. We see how undemocratic the system is, how undemocratic the Democratic Party is.”
