Report: These idiot libs really thought she would "undo the
systemic, the systematic racism and sexism and heterosexism in
government with one fell swoop"

Normal Democrats have long abandoned the idea that Vice
President Kamala Harris has what it takes to be the party's
standard bearer in 2024 and beyond. After her presidential
campaign flamed out in embarrassing fashion, the VP has spent
the last year and a half validating the critics who contended
she is a talentless hack, an empty pantsuit, and a terrible
boss. A recent poll of New Hampshire Democrats found that in a
hypothetical 2024 Democratic primary, Harris would place
seventh, just several percentage points ahead of Hillary Clinton.

The Daily Beast reports that even the diehard Kamala Harris
superfans—aka members of the #KHive—who obsessively promoted her
failed candidacy and ascension to the vice presidency are
beginning to have second thoughts:

The Daily Beast reached out to more than a dozen high-profile
members and former members of the #KHive to see if, after 18
months in office, the vice president has lived up to their
hopes. And while most still say that they have her back until
the end, some quietly admit that the comedown from the high of a
victorious campaign has been harsher than they'd expected—not
that they would ever say so publicly.

"I would never, ever say that I regret supporting the first
Black woman vice president, ever. But the disappointment is
real," said one self-described former member of the #KHive, who
requested to speak anonymously so as not to alienate themselves
from friends made through the movement. "I was obsessed with the
idea of this person who could undo the systemic, the systematic
racism and sexism and heterosexism in government with one fell
swoop, and now I’m thinking to myself, did I just make up a
person in my head who could do those things?"

That anonymous quote reveals so much about the modern Democratic
Party and its peculiar fetishes. The desire to make history for
the sake of making history. The tendency to become "obsessed"
with politicians. Doing one's part to end "systematic racism and
sexism and heterosexism in government" by tweeting. The
inevitable letdown. The refusal to speak out (on the record) for
fear of recrimination.

The authors of This Will Not Pass recount that Biden's decision
to choose Harris "had little to do with [her] political
strengths and vulnerabilities" but was rather a "pragmatic"
choice based on the campaign's desire to play it safe while also
mollifying those who wanted a "diverse" Democratic ticket.
Harris could still become president if Biden dies, but she will
never be elected president. Democrats should be glad that even
her most devoted fans are starting to accept reality.
