    just disappearing and leaving the American people she claimed she wanted to lead high and dry,

    We’re literally talking about a national election where she offered her leadership and America said “No.” lol who sticks around after that?

      “Who sticks around after that?”

      Bernie did, and he’s still pushing change. Not saying Kamala couldn’t end up in that spot too, but currently she seems to have taken it personal and scurried off into the woods like Hillary did after her awful campaign to lick her wounds. They both seem to have decided that if they couldn’t be queen then it’s not worth really fighting at all.

      Hell, Ted Cruz is still “fighting” after losing his presidential running

      Someone who actually believes in their own message, and honestly believes that the political agenda they’re working for are important, to the point of putting this things ahead of themselves.

      When you lose, you can choose to lie down and give up, or you can pick yourself up and keep fighting. I’m not an ardent critic of Harris, but she clearly chose the former. The same goes for Hillary Clinton. Both these people had/have huge platforms that they could use to front politics and help build up other candidates for future elections, not only presidential, but local, senate and house elections too. They have chosen to disappear from politics instead.

          That is arguably disappearing. After gaining such popularity, deciding not to use your influence for anything you were fighting for is probably not the right choice if you actually believed in the change.

            I disagree. The millions of dollars of campaign money that amplifies the candidates voice suddenly goes away… that’s what happens. And the media shifts towards the winning candidate. It happens in literally every single election.

              Ted Cruz still uses his influence to fight for his side and he lost a presidential race too. And with great “success” for some earthly reason i can’t begin to fathom.

              Also Bernie.
