CLUELESS COCONUT: Kamala Harris Has No Idea Why She Lost.
In Harris’s view, these extraordinary circumstances—voters prioritizing the economy—were uniquely unfair to her. “Part of the challenge with this very short campaign was that we had to focus on needs that felt more immediate, like how to deal with the grocery bill or the cost of childcare,” Harris explains with baffling earnestness, as if revealing the secrets of the universe to a room full of child actors.
The failed candidate is most relatable when blaming Joe Biden and the “recklessness” of his decision to run for reelection. Harris is not entirely wrong that Biden, who made her his running mate in 2020 because he was pressured into picking a black woman, set her up to fail. It’s hard not to feel a little sorry for Harris when she recalls her maddening interactions with Joe, Dr. Jill, and their cabal of sycophants. For example, she describes her exasperated reaction when, moments after Biden had finished humiliating himself at the CNN debate, she was handed a sheet of talking points instructing her to declare victory and proclaim that Biden had “fought through his cold as he is fighting for the American people.” Girl, we feel you.
On the other hand, Harris was an awful candidate with horrible instincts and a unique capacity for incoherence. She thought picking Pete Buttigieg, a boring gay man, as a running mate was too risky, but not as risky as disavowing her infamous endorsement of taxpayer-funded sex changes for illegal immigrants. That was a noble display of “character” that “voters respect.” She thinks Biden could only have picked her as vice president because she was the “most qualified and ready,” then admits she chose Tim Walz because of his loyalty and lack of ambition. If she’s still the most qualified, and the stakes for the country are so high, how will she explain her inevitable decision to leave politics for some comfy corporate board gig?
That sort of thing already happened in November, after Kamala spent the fall vacillating between calling Trump Hitler, seeking the endorsements of several earlier Hitlers, and then conceded to the current Hitler as if her earlier superheated language suddenly didn’t matter anymore:
