An investigation into the Kamala Harris campaign’s so-called astroturf operation has revealed some eyebrow-raising practices that would make any red-blooded American wonder what the campaign is up to. According to reports from The Federalist, it appears that Harris’s team is not just looking for enthusiastic American voters but is extending its recruitment efforts to foreign nationals as well. Yes, you read that right—foreign volunteers trying to get involved in the American election process.
The investigation, which has gained traction thanks to a detail-oriented Twitter account, suggests that Harris’s campaign is engaging in some rather questionable activities. It’s not just about the usual campaign efforts; the investigation alleges that her team is operating from a busy Discord server that acts as a hub for over 35,000 members, all geared up to flood social media with pro-Harris rhetoric. What’s even more astonishing is how they seem to be gamifying the discourse by boosting their content and smothering any dissent. Talk about a digital potato sack race!
Dems just continue to find innovative ways to cheat. Nothing they do is above board.
Report: Harris Campaign’s Astroturf Machine Pushes Ethical Boundaries with Foreign Volunteershttps://t.co/Id3AQl1YkR

The foreign involvement is particularly concerning. The report claims that numerous non-U.S. citizens are not only eager to volunteer but some are even making plans to hop on a plane to the U.S. to knock on doors for the campaign. While it’s technically legal for foreign nationals to volunteer on a strictly unpaid basis in American politics, Harris’s operation appears to be standing on shaky ethical ground. In a world where campaigning should be a privilege reserved for Americans, the line between acceptable and dubious is blurring faster than a politician dodging a tough question.
Moderators in the Discord server are alleged to be stoking the flames of this foreign recruitment fire, encouraging outside participation and even providing tips on exploiting legal loopholes for financial contributions. When a foreigner expressed concerns about meddling in U.S. elections, the response was less than reassuring—a moderator quickly dismissed their worries. It’s a classic case of—don’t worry, just dive right in!
This is more than just eyebrow-raising; it’s downright rich in irony. The Democratic Party has spent years lecturing Americans about the dangers of foreign interference during elections, particularly after the 2016 presidential contest. Yet here they are, a major Democratic candidate actively recruiting international help for her campaign. While the legality of their actions may be up for debate, the ethical implications are hard to ignore, sending ripples of concern across voter demographics.
In a country founded on the principle that elections should be decided by Americans, any hint of foreign influence is enough to raise a collective eyebrow. Whether it’s the pizza delivery guy from Italy or that friendly foreign exchange student, the notion that their input could sway the direction of the United States is not just troubling—it’s a slap in the face to those who believe in American autonomy. With the Harris campaign spiraling into these murky waters, it’s clear that their version of democracy might just be as manufactured as some of their online support.
