Ms. Kamala, where did you go? [1]

So, I watched the certification of the election today in real time. Watching Kamala Harris do what she had to do was indeed painful. And then she made her first statement of any notice afterwards, but she looked like a ghost of her former self.

And I just have to say, WHY OH WHY KAMALA, are you in some sort of shameful hiding? As it seems, much of the Democratic Party is right now. But I have to say, I am particularly disconcerted by the disappearance of Kamala Harris. I have to be honest to say, I expected more from her.

I do understand and do grant her some space after a brutal campaign and loss. But that time has passed and she is still but a ghost of things past. I also understand, that her defeat did not gain her friends in the Democratic power establishment, and I also get that it takes an enormous amount of courage to step back into the spotlight, after what she has been through.

BUT, imo, these days our party needs every good leader, past and present, to step forward and give voice. I mean, when Trump lost in 2020, we all know what he did. Not suggesting that as a template.

Still, there is something to be learned from how the GOP refuses to be put under. And frankly, I look at our party right now, seemingly in a fetal curl and I just want to scream.

This may not be popular here, but imo, Kamala Harris needs to get back in the game, and I’m not saying she need do so as a future candidate of any nature. I’m saying she needs to do so as a part of our party’s leadership, as a part of recognizing her own strength and not apologizing for it, as a part of what she TOLD US WERE HER STRENGTHS.

There is no reason why Kamala Harris should not step forward in our ongoing fight against the fascist regime of Elon Musk---errrr, Donald Trump.

And of course it’s not just about Kamala, but as the candidate we believed in, I believe she needs to step forward, and loudly. It won’t be easy and of course, she’ll be targeted and blasted.

But y’now Ms. Kamala, what do you really have to lose at this point? I believed in you, and I still do.
