I expect Harris will win, but we must be ready with structures to bypass the internet and MSM.

October 27, 2024 By Egberto Willies

Sorry, there was a YouTube error.

While I expect VP Kamala Harris to win, it is incumbent on activist journalists and our activist networks to start creating communication structures that bypass the internet and the mainstream media. Both have shown the propensity to acquiesce to the fascist — the Washington Post & LA Times’ refusal to print their endorsement of VP Harris is probative.

I expect Harris will win, but …

Summary

I believe that Kamala Harris is positioned to win the presidency, driven by the polling data and a surge in support from women motivated by reproductive rights issues. Despite my confidence, I must emphasize the importance of preparing for potential disruptions, especially given the influence of billionaire-controlled media and social media platforms, which authoritarian interests could sway. They call for decentralized, analog communication methods—such as local organizing hubs and ham radios—to ensure activists can communicate freely, regardless of possible censorship or interference from corporate-owned digital networks.

  • Based on current polls and the expected women’s vote surge, I am 90% confident that Kamala Harris will win, particularly in swing states. BUT WE MUST VOTE TO MAKE THIS A REALITY!
  • Media conglomerates like the Washington Post and LA Times have declined to print their endorsements of  Harris due to pressure from corporate ownership.
  • Big tech platforms (e.g., X, Facebook, Google) could censor progressive voices under corporate or authoritarian influence.
  • We must create a decentralized communication network to bypass potential internet and media suppression.
  • Suggested alternatives include setting up local hubs, using ham radios, and avoiding dependence on internet-based platforms.

Even as the environment should predicate a Harris victory, progressive activists need to establish alternative communication channels independent of corporate influence. In an age where a handful of billionaires control social media and traditional media, building resilient, grassroots structures ensures the movement’s message can persist. This call to prepare emphasizes that true democratic activism must reclaim control of our democracy from monopolized media giants, enabling people-driven discourse and protecting the voices of those striving for justice and equality.
