The fact that Kamala Harris [left] walks around being applauded and convinced she “told us so” instead of being treated like someone who had one job and failed so spectacularly that it will go down in history as one of the greatest calamities in American politics, says everything to me about the rot in the Democrat Party.
There is simply not even a little blip of accountability in this institution. She had one job: earn more electoral votes than Donald Trump. She failed. She failed on a level that is nearly impossible to even comprehend, and all she’s done since then is continue sneering at the people whose votes she alienated, and somehow she’s still welcome to show her face in a political party.
The level of entitlement is just beyond comprehension, and it is *literally* anti-democratic. A view of politics that holds a politician is entitled to votes and if they fail to get them then it’s the voters’ fault is fundamentally hostile to democracy.
