campaign used world democracy, in a constant effort to e ingratiate herself with you american people, george orwellbrilliant man, wrote a an essay titled politics in the english language, he wrote, almost universally felt we call a country democratic widemocrat we praising it -- they claim it is a democracy and fear they might have to stop using that word, if it were tied to do anyone one means, words of used in a dishonest way. that is to person who used them, has his or her own private definition. , but allows the hearer to believe in something quite different. left of bernie sanders, i believe in democracy? harris' words are used to conceal her indefensible views and ideologies and policies, this is a intentional corruption of language, as orwell wrote designed to make lies sound truth full and give an appear of an solid tie to pure win, when you have a corporate media that facilitates this but it involved. you have a corruption of language and political process. which is what is going on right now, a corruption of so-called free press that serves as propaganda operation, as here for kamala harr
