Kamala Harris needs to look at the reasons for the defeat. Clearly the Democrats had an ongoing under appreciated weakness with the perceived age related mental decline of President Biden. Rather than even attempting to prove that Biden could serve another term, he was replaced by Vice President Harris just months before the election. While clearly more able to debate without personal jabs and outrageously rude and racist comments, Kamala Harris was unable as many times in the past to define exactly who she is and what she stands for without compromise. While the perception was that given enough time Donald Trump would show that his own words are his worst assets, the American Public seems to have forgotten just how pathetic the first Trump administration handled COVID-19 and the economic conditions at that time. It was a time when the CDC told the American public that masks were not needed in the first days of the pandemic, and that they in fact would make the infection worse as the average person did not have the skills to use a facemask. Of course the reality was that the U.S. did not have enough N95 masks for even its own health care workers and the CDC went along spreading a lie under the pretense that it would change the statement as more masks became available. President Trump would never accept the science behind using face masks and the viral load related math and nature of COVID. Ultimately it would be the global vaccination campaign which ended the crisis and it was a global effort not a singular one. Kamala Harris failed to vividly narrate this period nor did she illustrate clearly how bad 2020 was both from a leadership perspective as well as intellectually deficient.
April 29, 2020, Vice President Pence refuses to wear a mask while visiting the Mayo Clinic. The Surgeon General of the United Advised on March 2, 2020 against wearing Face Masks, the CDC chimed in, but a month later changed its statements as the rest of the world proved this to be false.
Kamala Harris seemed not able to select key issues from the first Trump administration and use them to show what changed under President Biden, as no matter how we view politics, the Biden era was a return to the idea that outrageous statements were not the norm for the White House. Kamala Harris also failed to address inflation as a direct result of the COVID-19 crisis and the fallout of the Ukraine invasion., two events the Biden administration could not have prevented. In fact, the only choice would have been to put boots on the ground in Ukraine, drawing the U.S, into direct conflict with Russia. We can clearly see, that the U.S. has a very difficult choice in Ukraine. as it could not just accept Russia’s advance into Europe, or at the same just concede the territories Ukraine would have to lose just to get a short period of peace. Trump will pave the way for Russia to annex Ukraine politically and if this is acceptable then NATO may be in its last decade.

It was suggested by President Trump that cleaning agents and chemicals could be sprayed on the lungs of COVID patients to cure the infection.
Regardless. the U.S. economy is in better shape than 2020, the areas where the Biden administration failed to put enough emphasis on were energy prices and consumer goods which increased even ahead of inflationary numbers which were reigned under control. Incredibly she could not explain this to the public as a whole. She failed also to communicate that women not only have a right to determine their reproductive rights, but the idea of the government restricting them is only the beginning of more loss of treatments and freedoms for both genders.
Kamala Harris did not simply show this chart, at every rally. No manufacturing jobs returned to the U.S. during the first Trump administration. Perhaps for some the idea of mass deportations is more important than real facts.
Kamala Harris lost the election because the American public failed to connect with her and she overestimated the memory of the public. Things were not good 2020 when President Trump left office. The U.S. had failed with its COVID-19 response, no manufacturing jobs had been brought back China, inflation was set to soar out of control. If your retirement had not been victimized by 2020 crash and margin calls, and then the connected making the money back with the flood of free money for them to drive prices back up, if you did not have properties which were destroyed by stay in place orders, and were lucky enough to not have your wealth taken by the processes laid out, maybe the first Trump administration was successful. All that which is true is that the U.S. is entering uncharted territory, how great it will be all depends on perspective and the rarity of true knowledge to judge this coming reality. I leave with one thought, in October of 1984, President Reagan was asked about his age being a factor in the election, he laughed and said he would “not use the youth of Mr. Mondale against him”, he followed by saying “I do not remember if it was Senneca of Aristotle who stated, It was the elders who corrected the mistakes of young, for if they did not there would be no state.” That world is long ago gone, what can these current elders possibly correct or give justice to? They are consumed with hate and seem to have no appreciation for history, even in its elemental form. They have not learned its lessons and hence cannot teach them.
