Despite the Democrats’ best effort to rig the presidential election, Kamala Harris lost. Schumer claims the reason is that the voters did not understand how much the Democrats did for them. It reminds me of the day after Hitler punched his own ticket; his spokesman, Charlamaign Schubert, said the reason that Hitler was forced to commit suicide was because the Jews did not realize how much the Nazis had done for them.
And what did Joe Biden and the Democrats do for the voters?
- Disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal that resulted in 13 dead US service members.
- Record 40-year inflation rates/spiking grocery prices.
- Soaring gas prices because of Biden’s anti-energy agenda
- More than 15 million illegal aliens entered the US because of Biden’s open borders.
- Record fentanyl overdoses.
- Supply chain crisis.
- Covid vaccine mandates.
- Calling millions of Trump supporters “garbage.”
- Soaring crime
- Job-destroying tax hikes
- Endless Ukraine-Russia war/giving Ukraine BILLIONS of dollars
- Weaponization of DOJ/locking up political opponents
- Woke/gutted military
Wow. It is truly amazing that Harris did not win in a landslide, and Democrats did not hold the Senate and win the House. I keep hearing Democrats claim that the majority of Americans oppose a wall, support open borders, and are ecstatic over the economy. I guess those majorities stayed home on November 5th. What a turnaround! Usually, it is Democrats who take the Fifth and Nancy Pelosi and Harris who drink it.
Schumer pointed out programs he claimed were successful, such as Democrats helping push through the CHIPS Plus Act in 2022, a bill that included $52 billion for semiconductor manufacturing through 2025, $200 billion for federal science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research, and tax credits for U.S. semiconductor manufacturing.
Schumer said:
“But all too often Kristen we talked about the mechanics of the legislation and the details of the legislation and we really didn’t show the kind of empathy and concern to average or show enough of it to average working families who didn’t realize how much we had done and how much we care for them.”

That’s going to be a significant change, and obviously it will make a difference.”
Following Harris’ loss to Trump, Democratic lawmakers and political pundits questioned the pushback against their party from voters.
Election results showed that Trump not only gained 2.5 million more votes than in 2020, but also dealt a serious blow to Democrats’ hold on certain slices of the electorate, as Harris earned 7 million fewer votes than Biden in the 2020 race, according to The New York Times. While the vice president may have found some counties where she met or exceeded Biden’s vote totals, she failed to match Trump’s gains, falling short in three of the seven key swing states and in 80% of counties nationwide.
The lawmaker went on to admit to Welker that while Democrats failed to show “empathy and concern,” voters also “didn’t realize” how the party had cared for them, stating that it’s an area Democrats will focus on in the future.
After Biden announced his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race and instead endorsed Harris in July 2024, some Democrats questioned whether the party would hold a primary, with major figures like former President Barack Obama initially withholding their endorsement of the vice president. However, despite never winning any delegates, Harris secured enough support from Democratic National Convention (DNC) delegates to become the party’s presumptive presidential nominee two days after Biden withdrew from the race.
