Kamala Harris lost the election this week, but I mostly don’t blame her. At least, I don’t blame her because of anything she did recently. Since she became the unofficial nominee in July, she played a difficult hand about as well as she could have, running a disciplined campaign that sought to reassure Americans about the economic issues that trouble them most, in a political environment that was very rough for Democrats and for incumbent parties around the world.
But where did that bad hand come from? It was dealt to her by two people: President Biden, who produced a governing record she could not effectively defend or run away from; and herself, with all the toxic position-taking she did in 2019, generating endless attack ad fodder for Donald Trump. And Mr. Biden even bears blame for Ms. Harris’s pre-2020 baggage, since he put her on the ticket in full awareness that she was carrying it.
In his own campaign rhetoric, Mr. Biden focused on the idea that democracy itself was on the ballot this year. But if democracy was on the ballot, his actions should have matched his rhetoric at every turn to ensure Democrats would win the election. Instead, he prioritized his own ego and profile.
His electoral instincts weren’t always so misguided. During the 2020 primary campaign, Mr. Biden seemed to understand that the left-wing fever dreams that drove that Democratic cycle were electorally hazardous. So, unlike Ms. Harris, he never pledged to ban fracking or abolish private health insurance. He never even filled out the A.C.L.U. questionnaire that prompted Ms. Harris to support federally funded gender-transition surgery for prisoners and detained immigrants.

Trump knocked Kamala out when he said she is a low IQ moron. It was so obvious.
Writer is full of bull, didn’t get too far. Harris didn’t do her preparation, couldn’t lay out her goals and positions, and couldn’t think on her feet (heh).
But it’s excuse time and Harris can’t be ‘the problem’, she’s all they’ve got. Just think how bad that is for them. Policy can’t ever be the problem either, which doesn’t leave much fodder for the excuse makers. Maybe the tried and true, “We just didn’t present our message well enough” will have to suffice.
It’s the Democratic Party’s fault for stealing the election in 2020. Otherwise Trump would be nearing the end of his second term and his successor, whether Republican or Democrat, would face far fewer problems than Trump will when he takes office in 2025.
What disrespect.
That’s like the hood rats who sucker punch elderly people.
