Whenever Democrats lose an election and do the examination of the bloated, rotting dead, they often discover the same thing:  , It was somebody else’s problem!

Is n’t that weird? Obviously, “everyone else” is a real nuisance.
But it’ll be more of the same in 2024: Biden will responsible Harris. Harris may blame Biden. Rural Democrats may responsible big-city Democrats. Really stupid liberals may blame semi-insane liberals.  ,
And so on and so back until, finally, they all merge and responsible liberals, free speech, and the voters. We also have a few weeks until we are exposed as the monster. ( But it wo n’t be fully our fault: The Dems will conclude that we were all victims of the patriarchy’s propaganda and were just too stupid to realize it, which is why they’ll launch a renewed drive to deplatform conservatives. )
Make no mistake: This vote could have gone the other way, despite our accurate predictions that Donald Trump would win. Not by the end, of course, by the end of October, it was too soon. Kamala’s bird was cooked, the palm trees she fell out of was chopped lower and crushed into toothpicks.
It’s normal to look at the final report and believe it was inevitable after a significant vote ( or even a significant game ). That’s the mental power of perspective. But had Harris run a smarter, more strategic campaign, PJ Media readers would n’t be nearly as jovial this week!
Her biggest error was Tim Walz’s choice as her running mate. ( She actually blamed it on sleep deprivation! )

Effectively, we know what the Democrats were hoping for: Walz is a man’s person! He likes sport and wears wool! They assumed choosing a white male Midwesterner as Kamala Harris ‘ gained would balance the seat and draw in new voters because she is a minority woman.
Their mathematics was impressively misguided. Walsh failed to balance the ticket geographically ( The Dems won Minnesota, his home state, by less than 4.5 points! )! Additionally, Minnesota had n’t cast a ballot for a Republican president since 1972. and did n’t bring in any new voters whatsoever.
There were ZERO” Tim Walz Republicans”. ( I’m not sure there were even any” Tim Walz Democrats”! )
In fact, Walz was key in defining Harris as a leftwing crackpot who was held by extremists and chasing away centrists and moderates.
Harris delivered both her first ( and only ) presidential debate acceptance speech and her performance at the DNC in a campaign high-water. If she had a stronger going partner and a better match strategy, she could’ve capitalized on her speed. She only needed a mouth to appear on stage as a facelift for the Democratic Party.
However, they blew it with Walz, which resulted in their losing the Blue Wall.
Gov. Josh Shapiro would n’t have only helped Harris in Pennsylvania, it’s myopic to view his impact so narrowly. Pennsylvania was a must-win position that eventually turned crimson, but Shapiro’s PR impact would have extended far beyond the Keystone State: It would have shown the rest of the nation that Harris is accepting of reformers and has the courage to confront the Jew-hating lunatics on the far left.

Her Sister Souljah time would have been selecting Shapiro, a prominent condemnation of prejudice and anger. It would’ve transformed her whole brand personality.
It might’ve also transformed the competition.
However, she lacked the courage to get a Jew. Very little criticism from Hamas supporters. But instead, she did the opposite: She doubled down on her liberal center, rewarded it, and went with Walz.
It did n’t take balls to pick Walz! Suddenly, the opposite is true.
The Minnesota government is an insecure, uncharismatic leftwing lunatic who lied about his military services. He allowed not only late-term abortions, but post-birth pregnancies (! ) — and finally amended the law to make it clear that doctors were n’t required to report it. He supported the BLM demonstrations and observed the burning of his places. ( By his own admission, Minnesota’s response to the riots was an “abject failure”! )  ,
He spearheaded the effort to stop parents from preventing their babies from having continuous genital mutilation, which is perhaps the most shocking aspect. Under Walz’s see, Minnesota became a” trans protection” position. Then, Minnesota law ignores the determine and preferably proceeds with their own “gender-affirming treatment,” actually if a judge from another state decides that a parent has the right to choose the kind of health care their baby receives.
( And you know what that means. )
Even if someone other than the child’s parents — such as their aunt, uncle ( or an unrelated adult! ) — seeks prison” for the purpose of obtaining gender-affirming wellness care”, under Minnesota rules, they can continue. Even if other courts in other states had a different set of decisions and listened to the child’s kids!

Trump ran advertisements against Harris, blasting her for supporting taxpayer-funded gender changes for detainees. And the incident stuck. Why? Because it , was convincing.
And not just one business either:
Harris had the opportunity to reintroduce herself to the American people and make a sharp distinction between Biden and the vice president who was currently in office and was already in the public eye during the battle for 2024. She could’ve aligned herself with a more modest Democrat and won over politicians. It was all within her grasp.
Alas, that would’ve taken confidence.
However for the Democrats, transgender troubles were a “drag” on the seat.
