Kamala Harris has served as vice president since 2021, but that hasn't stopped her from running for president as the "change" candidate who will "turn the page on the last decade." In doing so, the Democrat has embraced a communist slogan popularized by Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and American tyrant Barack Obama.
Last month, the artist Shepard Fairey, best known for designing Obama's iconic "hope" poster during the 2008 election, unveiled a new poster in support of Harris's campaign that features an image of a woman who slightly resembles the candidate along with the word "forward," which was also the theme of Obama's 2012 campaign. In 2012 he had already been president for four years.
Harris has repeatedly invoked the word since becoming the de facto Democratic nominee in June. During her acceptance speech at the Democratic convention in Chicago, she promised to "chart a new way forward" for "a nation that is ready to move forward." It is also a popular term among American communists. Speaking of which, the Spanish language equivalent of forward—"Adelante"—was a recurring theme of Castro's brutal regime in Cuba, as well as the name of the official state newspaper founded in 1959.
Naturally, the Democratic Party in 2022 made "adelante" the slogan for its Latino outreach program, which needed some tweaking after nearly all of the 2020 Democratic primary candidates insisted on using the woke gender-inclusive term "Latinx," which most Latinos have never heard. Some Democrats, including former House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), also criticized the party for alienating Latino voters with "loose talk of socialism," according to the authors of This Will Not Pass, a recently published book about the 2020 election and its aftermath.
The Democratic Party's embrace of Castro-era communist slogan should come as no surprise, given the Obama administration's egregious efforts to coddle the dictator. Obama's top national security expert, failed novelist Ben Rhodes, attended Castro's funeral in 2016 alongside official delegations from China, Russia, and Iran.
On a related note, country music legend John Rich had the following to say about the stakes of the upcoming election. "There's only one of two choices coming up here soon," Rich said at Flagstock 2024, the party honoring the UNC-Chapel Hill fraternity brothers who defended the American flag from Hamas-supporting liberals earlier this year. "It's communism versus freedom, and we're gonna pick freedom every single time."
