Vivek Ramaswamy just delivered what might be one of the sharpest breakdowns of the 2024 election in a matter of minutes. In his direct and insightful remarks, Ramaswamy cut through the noise to reveal the deeper forces at play, moving beyond the usual political narratives. His focus? The entrenched system that he believes runs America — and the role he and Donald Trump aim to play in dismantling it.
"You hear a lot of fellow Republicans refer to Kamala Harris as a far-left ideologue or a Marxist or a communist. You won't generally hear me leveling that critique against her because I think it gives her too much credit,"
He quickly dismissed the idea that Harris, or any other candidate for that matter, is the real adversary. Instead, he suggested that focusing on individual ideologies misses the bigger picture. According to Ramaswamy, the true battle lies not in opposing a single political figure or party, but in confronting a larger, more complex system.
"We're not even up against a candidate. We're up against a machine. It's a perverted, upside-down version, hellish version of the San Antonio Spurs under Gregg Popovich or something like that in the sphere of American politics."
In this comparison, Ramaswamy likened the political machinery to a well-coordinated basketball team, where the individual players matter far less than the underlying system driving the play. The real challenge, he argued, is breaking through this machine — a far more daunting task than simply winning an election. Ramaswamy stressed that this isn’t a simple Republican versus Democrat contest, or a battle defined by traditional divides like race or gender.
"This isn't about Republicans vs. Democrats. Not quite. It's not about Black vs. White. It's not about man vs. woman. The media, the powers that be will try to train you. Divide and conquer. Pit groups against one another. Identity politics. Vote bank politics. Don't fall for that trick."
In Ramaswamy’s view, the true divide in America is between the "managerial class" and everyday citizens — a split that he believes has grown wider over time. He made this clear by stating;
"It is about the managerial class, the bureaucratic class, and the everyday citizen. That's the real divide in this country."
Ramaswamy pointed to the growing number of Democrats who have switched sides, shifting their support from figures like Kamala Harris and Joe Biden to Donald Trump.
"You've seen many former Democrats, even iconoclastic Democrats that have criticized candidates like Kamala Harris or Joe Biden, even from a progressive vantage point, now shifting over to support Donald Trump."
He then turned his focus to who truly holds power in America today.
"Be they in the media, be they in certain parts of the corporate capture machine or especially be they in the administrative state, the unelected bureaucrats who are writing more laws and setting more policies than even Congress which was elected to actually carry out that function, that's who's actually running the country."
"It's not Joe Biden——it's not even really Kamala Harris, it's not their ideology because I don't think they have one."
"It is the permanent state."
"The fourth branch of government."
"The leviathan."
"The swamp."
"The managerial class."
"The committee class."
"The bureaucrats."
As Ramaswamy concluded his remarks, he reminded his audience of what’s really at stake in 2024. This is not just about another presidential race — it’s about breaking down the structures that have long held sway over American politics.
"That's who's running the show today. And that's what we're really up against. We're not just running to defeat a candidate, we are running to dismantle a system."
In Ramaswamy’s eyes, this election isn’t just about voting for a candidate — it’s about tearing down a system that’s taken control of the country. And for him, there’s no clearer choice than to back the one man who has pledged to drain the swamp for good.
