A resurfaced clip from 2017 featuring Vice President Kamala Harris calling on “everybody” to be “woke” has ignited a firestorm of criticism on social media, with conservatives and critics labeling her a “Communist functionary” who is “too radical” to serve as president.
In the clip, then-Sen. Harris urged Americans to “stay woke” during Recode’s annual Code Conference, emphasizing the need for awareness and activism on issues like immigration and the environment.
“We have to stay woke. Like everybody needs to be woke. And you can talk about if you’re the wokest or woker, but just stay more woke than less woke,” Harris said.
Harris doubled down on her message the next day, posting on X: “We have to stay active. We have to stay woke.”
Her resurfaced comments have been met with scorn from critics, including conservative author James Lindsay, who described Harris as a “low-level Communist functionary” and expressed frustration at being told to downplay her perceived radicalism.
Harris’s use of the term “woke” has been particularly contentious, with many arguing it represents a left-wing agenda. The phrase gained popularity in 2017, with dictionaries adding it to their lexicons and defining it as being attentive to social justice issues.
Meanwhile, a clip is also resurfacing of Harris’ vice presidential pick, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, apparently defending socialism. “Don’t ever shy away from our progressive values,” Walz says in the video below. “One person’s socialism is another person’s neighborliness.”
And just today, Walz signed legislation into law that will allow anyone to get a driver’s license, regardless of whether they are in the U.S. legally or not.

She should continue blabbering until everyone sees how downright dumb she is
So Uncle Joe is going senile while Kamel must be smoking something really good
OMG, one think she is really good at = laughing
This is only the beginning. Many more of these clips ans even more radical comments will come out until eection day.
Never forget. Trump said nazas were good people
Yeah Domenick,
So let’s all sing kumbaya and have socialism!
These people are weird (Kamala’s definition of trump/vance) now we see who’s really weird
במומו פוסל
Any frum person who votes for this ticket should be
1. Banned from shuls
2. Their kids kicked out of yeshivos
And if Skver dares endorse it, we should all boycott Skver shechita and hechsherim
The enemies of klal Yisroel have no place amongst us.
The Democrats lost in 2000 and 2016 due to their left wing voting for protest candidates Had they kept their left wing in line, it means there would have been Democratic presidents continuously from 1992 to today (imagine what the Supreme Court would look like). Unless the Democrats get crushed in the election (not suggested by polling), they will conclude that “progressive” (WOKE/socialistic) works.
From our perspective, a Progressive Democratic win is probably bad for Israel (though a win by isolationist Republicans is also a problem). Progressive Democrats, especially ones with Jewish ancestry, tend to be vary antagonistic towards frum Jews, though Progressives do tend to give away lots of money to poor people and large families (so they may try to close yeshivos, but they’ll give liberal child allowances and subsidize health care).
Yanky: keep up the good work and you will qualify for taxpayer assisted housing in a padded cell. Last week it was the media digging up 10 year old postings by JD Vance disparaging childless women and demanding that parents get additional votes for each kid. Next week it will be back to the Access Hollywood tape where Trump claims an entitlement to grab womens’ parts that we probably shouldn’t mention here.
Bottom line: You could always find stupidity on both sides of the aisle but the internet, social media and search engines have made it a lot easier than sending some young college intern working on opposition research into the archives of the local newspaper searching yellow microfiche for something stupid your opponent might have said in college or when first elected to the local city council.
Why? 1st amendment protects this:
Any frum person that supports harris needs to be put in cheirem and their shuls should publicly shame and humiliate them
What is wrong about that statement?
