Kamala Harris addressed the Leading Women Defined Summit (what?) the other day.
She decried people who weren't doing anything, which was interesting because the people who aren't doing anything are the leadership of the Democratic Party, notably Senator Chuck Schumer. She doesn't seem to have named any names here. And then she said, "I'm not here to say 'I told you so,' but ..." (which of course she was) before bursting into her familiar drunken wine-mom laughter and adding "I swore I wasn't going to say that." Okay, fine, but why say it to a crowd of her fans, who presumably voted for her?
A lot of people tried to tell her so during the campaign. They told her it was a bad idea to defend and support Israeli atrocities. They told her it was a bad idea to insult and mock important segments of her base. They told her it was a bad idea to court the Cheney crime family. They told her she needed to distance herself from Biden. And so on. She ignored such good advice, preferring to listen to the worst people in her party. If she had won despite all this, she could gloat and wag a finger at her critics. It's entirely possible that she'd have lost anyway; but she lost, badly.
I hadn't watched this clip until I saw another one, in which her former running mate Tim Walz criticized her remarks. Walz is often erratic, but he did a good job here. He even admitted his own mistakes. True to Democratic establishment form, Harris blamed everyone except herself.
