After three months of actively campaigning, a series of interviews that range from middling to terrible, and various accents employed dependent upon the audience in front of her, Vice President and selected Democrat nominee Kamala Harris has shown herself to be a terrible candidate with nothing of substance to offer. In order to project the opposite of this, she has gamed the system to make it appear that she does. Whether it is softball interviews in safe spaces, legacy media networks running interference with canned questions and false fact-checks, or manipulating social media platforms to make her seem like Thanos, the Harris campaign makes “The Matrix” look like “Sesame Street.”

In an exclusive two-part expose, The Federalist reported that the Kamala Harris campaign uses a Discord server (like an exclusive internet chat room) to activate its thousands of volunteers to push campaign propaganda that mimics a groundswell of love and support for her candidacy. Think Harry Sisson times a million, which is a frightening thought.

In Part Two of their exclusive, The Federalist exposes how these digital Goebbels have taken to Elon Musk’s social media platform X to manipulate the Community Notes feature. Musk employed this system to maintain veracity through the consensus of users. These members help bring clarity and context rather than an algorithm or an uninvested collective of experts. 

Prior to Musk’s purchase of Twitter, the site’s management was known for capriciously removing information and regularly banning users in a way that employed a double standard that heavily disfavored conservative opinion. Musk, a major free speech advocate, sought to institute a more neutral way to deal with misleading tweets, and the “Community Notes” system was born.

Select users who signed up for the program could propose notes to be added to tweets showing that the information was wrong, misleading, or required important context. Other users can then read the proposed notes and vote on whether they are accurate or needed, and if the proposed notes get enough favorable votes, they get appended to the post permanently.

It is totally on brand for Kamala Harris and her campaign to try to amplify and shape public perception this way. 

The campaign has also been targeting Elon Musk’s X, perhaps the most influential site for political news. One particular goal, according to a user of the Harris-Walz campaign Discord server, is to get campaign volunteers to swarm the site and “block [community notes] we don’t like.”

However, throughout this campaign Harris-Walz official accounts have been remarkable conduits for disinformation and have regularly provided dishonest presentations of the Trump-Vance campaign. The Harris campaign’s X accounts have been so bad that even CNN fact checker Daniel Dale, who has been very harsh on Trump for several years, wrote an entire column highlighting the errors and dishonesty.

Despite this, virtually none of the false and misleading tweets from Kamala Harris’ campaign have Community Notes appended to them. One likely explanation for this discrepancy is that the Harris campaign is directing volunteers on its Discord server to vote down Community Notes even when those notes accurately say the campaign is being deceptive.

On the converse, the campaign sics their digital army on the Trump-Vance campaign’s X-posts, inserting spurious and misleading information into the Community Notes, or downvoting information that does bring context or supports the post’s claims.

So, working their wizardry, posts like this get a pass.

The Federalist articles have reached the attention of Elon Musk.

While he’s investigating, the X account “Kamala HQ Lies” is doing the heavy lifting to call out the Harris campaign’s duplicity.

Harris knows she cannot win on the merits of policy, and fails miserably on voter engagement. So, instead, she manipulates and manufactures a desired result. This should be disqualifying, but for the Democrats, it’s just another day ending in “Y.”
