I think I (or attempted to) invalidate everything up to the final paragraph because everything before that was about the Biden presidency which was not positively relevant to the Harris campaign.

Joe Biden's record is Biden's and Harris' responsibilities under the Biden administration was not positive. Let alone questions about her emphatic statements attesting to his mental capacity right up until the emperor had no clothes on national TV.

Unsurprisingly, people were not enthusiastic about being given a candidate who struggled nationally and was widely considered a bad candidate, right up until she was the candidate. Harris is and was a horrible candidate. Everyone knew it, even Democrats.

Democrats spiked the football on fourth down when they were losing with 30 seconds left.

Whatever people want to say about Trump, apparently Democrats didn't find him enough of a threat to democracy to put up a candidate that had a chance to win.

Democrats put up the only candidate likely to unify the party at that stage. I'm not defending a campaign which lost to Trump. But at some point we also have to blame ourselves and the voting population at large. As well as a media way too forgiving to Trump. How could they vote for something so self evidently self harmful.
