Every day that passes makes one truth more clear: Kamala Harris disdains the American people, and it is undeniable that her loss in November was a good thing for the country.
Harris’s book, 107 Days, details that Harris wanted to choose then-Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as her running mate. The logic there is sound: Buttigieg is well-spoken, a solid debater, and would have an otherwise clean political record were it not for his failures at the Transportation Department. He would certainly be a better choice than Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who was a bad debater, rife with scandals, and far more of a liability than an asset when it came to winning over swing voters.
KAMALA HARRIS BOOK EXCERPTS SHOW DEMOCRATS STILL CLUELESS ON BORDER SECURITY
Here is, in Harris’s words, why she did not choose Buttigieg: “But we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a Black woman, a Black woman married to a Jewish man. Part of me wanted to say, Screw it, let’s just do it. But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk.” (Capitalization and emphasis original).
That is how Harris views her fellow Americans. She thinks that they are, like her, obsessed with identity categories and that they are, unlike her, bigots. She thinks voters were out there with checklists, marking off “black woman” and “Jewish husband” and preparing to give Harris a third strike if she added another minority group to the ticket. It goes back to the fact that Harris does not view her loss as any reflection on her. To her, it is a reflection on her short campaign (107 days) or the fact that voters are bigots who didn’t want a black woman on a diverse ticket to win the election.
THE MARTYRDOM OF KAMALA HARRIS
The fact remains that Harris did not lose the election because she is a black woman. She lost because she is Kamala Harris. She is unlikable, a poor communicator when working off-script, and far more left-wing than the country. She lost largely because voters recognize how much she disdains them. Harris is so deep in left-wing ideology that she truly believes voters would choose someone she thinks is bad for the country over her just because of her skin color and gender.
It is good that Harris and her inherently divisive worldview are not in the White House right now, especially given the state of political divisions in the country. The American people deserve better than someone who openly disdains them and boils them down to their basic identity groups, and voters made that clear last November.
