The Democrat’s darling, Kamala Harris, recently conceded defeat in the election, a fact conveniently omitted in a video clip shared by the Democratic party’s official account. The heavily doctored video curiously leaves out the part of Harris acknowledging this turbulent period of lost elections and the somber mood enveloping the party.
The official Democratic party account, known for its crafty video edits, decided that a whole nine-minute segment from Harris’s original video was unnecessary. The part they decided to discard was the one where Harris candidly admitted the weight of their loss, expressing the gravity of the situation.
The public was presented with a diluted 29 seconds worth of a pep talk where Ms. Harris, in a heroic feat of spin, proclaimed regressive platitudes to grassroots members, asserting they maintain ‘the same power that existed before November 5th, and the same purpose.’
The conveniently edited video manifested just after the vice-president’s senior advisers rolled out some standard damage-control narratives on a podcast, tracing the reason for her election defeat. Their feeble attempts to rewrite the story further emphasize the denial and refusal to accept the comprehensive defeat.
Ms. Harris, who was captured having a little vacation time in Hawaii with her spouse post-election, wasn’t quite as glowing as one might expect. A candid moment revealed a seemingly worn-out figure grappling with defeat, evidently struggling to absorb the bitter reality of her loss.
Harris was recorded admitting: ‘The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, it is not what we asked for.’ She further rallied the troops by stating to her fellow Democrats: ‘I know this is an uncertain time, I’m clear-eyed about that, and I know you’re clear-eyed about it, too.’ The fatal error of failing to win has clearly sent the Democrat camp into a tailspin, prompting them to provide some solace and reassurances.
With ingenious editing, the 29-second version posted completely omitted her solemn acknowledgments and jumped to a motivational speech. The edited video made it appear like the last thing she uttered after acknowledging the heaviness was a pep talk: ‘I’d like to remind you, don’t ever let anyone strip you of your power.’
Her words of supposed inspiration, ‘You have the same ability to engage and inspire as you did before November 5th. You still have the same purpose.’ felt hollow and fabricated. A failed attempt to rally and consign their devastating defeat to the recesses of forgetfulness.
Members of the Harris campaign shamelessly denied accepting any personal responsibility for the disaster of losing the election earlier this week. Unbelievably, they found it more convenient to blame the polls, the political climate, and other sundry factors despite failing to run an effective campaign.
Rather hilariously, these campaign members tried to minimize the extent of their colossal failure by suggesting they perceived it was a ‘really close race’. This laughable denial and rejection of reality paints a sardonically amusing picture of the Democratic party’s unwillingness to face its shortcomings.
Harris, the queen of lavish spending, also drew stark criticism over her extravagance from megadonor John Morgan. It’s noteworthy to highlight that her campaign hemorrhaged more than a whopping $1 billion, which is as excessive as it is tragic.
Despite the brazen squandering of a fortune, Harris was not even able to muster more votes than Joe Biden. This brings to light the allegations that the campaign is suffering a debt of a staggering $20 million, a testament to their gross mismanagement and wasteful practices.
The fact that the Democratic party’s official account decided to share an edited video in order to save face is a testament to their failure and stubborn refusal to face reality. Harris’s miserably failed campaign stands as a visible symbol of the disarray in the Democratic party’s leadership, a reality they clearly find too unpalatable to confront head-on.
