Kamala Harris didn't lose, America did.
As a nation, we collectively failed her—and in doing so we failed girls and women, the LGBTQ community, people of color, Muslims, Jewish people, immigrants, the sick, the poor, the elderly, the people of Ukraine, and Gaza, and the planet.
It's unthinkable, that instead of being able to celebrate a beautiful, hopeful new chapter in the story of this nation with a leader who appealed to the best of our natures—we will instead be holding a postmortem for democracy as we enter our 250th year, stewarded by a malevolent sociopath who despises empathy and shuns the law.
I truly thought we were better than this, that our shared humanity would show up. I thought we would reject this hatred and ugliness once and for all.
I hate being wrong about the majority of the people of this nation.
I don't know what's ahead. All I know is that good-hearted human beings are more necessary now than ever.
We did all that we could to avoid this moment, but now that it's here we'll just have to decide who we will be.
There is no way to comprehend or measure how grievous an error this is, but the only thing the decent people of this nation can do is wake up tomorrow and fight like hell for what we still believe is worth the fight, and we will.
I'll be doing that with whoever has the strength to join me.
I'm mourning the country we could have been and the one we apparently are—but I refuse to give up believing that compassion is the right path, that diversity makes us better, and that love is greater than fear.
He was the worst President in history. And when he got voted out, he tried to stage a coup. Then he stole national secrets and sold the ones he didn't store in the bathroom.
He was convicted of fraud, found liable of sexual assault and convicted of 34 felonies. He is half a billion dollars in debt, owned by God only knows who, and the biggest national security risk the nation has ever had.
But at least he's not a Black woman.
My MLs wrote a wishlist today for @Scholastic Book Fair. We’d like to surprise each with a book from their lists. For several it will be their first ever book and/or their first in English. https://t.co/AT6Ty0Z6kn
@loudqueenaura@tap3000@WonderKing82 And? She was not the first African American senator, but she was the first Indian American. You can simultaneously be more than one thing.
If you’re a high profile figure in the LGBTQ+ community, you need to take stand in this election. Both sidesing it when our community is under direct attack from the GOP is an irresponsible cop out.
That the question "are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?" has become a gotcha for the Harris campaign is just bizarre to me. Four years ago we were quarantining at home amid mass death, a mismanaged pandemic, and widespread unemployment. We are better off now and it's not a close call.
@GovParsonMO please do not let Missouri execute
#MarcellusWilliams on 9/24. He is an innocent person — where there is overwhelming evidence that his trial was constitutionally unfair. https://t.co/G9O3gOKg7E @innocence@the_MIP
BREAKING: The Foo Fighters are suing Donald Trump over his unsolicited use of their song “My Hero”. The Foo Fighters have announced they will donate royalties received to Kamala Harris’ campaign.
Vice President Harris will be the Democratic nominee, she will defeat Trump and his fascist vision, and she will be a great president.
Time to unite behind her with that common purpose and go win this election.
Democrats should be embarrassed by the way President Biden was treated by his own colleagues the last month. He is one of the most transformative Presidents of a generation.
That fight is over.
I dare not wage into another.
Kamala Harris is battle tested and battle ready.
I look forward to working damn hard to make her the next PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.
