Kamala Addresses Supporters, Says Nothing, Leaves Them Feeling Even More Deflated
Vice President Kamala Harris held a livestream to thank her supporters and grassroots volunteers, but their comments indicate that she left them feeling even more defeated and despondent than they were before they joined the call.
Harris held a joint event with her running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz today, telling her supporters that she is “proud of the race we ran,” and that “we still have a lot to fight for.” The Harris voters on the call, however, found themself underwhelmed, deflated, and in some cases, upset by the failed candidate’s remarks.

“Feeling even more defeated,” one supporter on the call said as Harris’ speech came to a close. “That was such a waste, why did they even call this?” another added. “Trump’s about to be a dictator. And our voices won’t matter,” another Harris supporter said after her speech concluded.

“You could have saved my hope and sent a thank you text. Geez, you people beg me for my time, my money, my hope,” one of the most scathing comments read. “I am gobsmacked at the thoughtlessness, but I shouldn’t be so naive.”
The purpose of Harris’ speech, which did not include a fundraising pitch and recycled much of the same message from Democrat’s concession speech, was not readily apparent to many of her supporters.

Harris vaguely stated that their movement was not over, but did not provide her supporters with any potential ways they could help or issue any calls to action, instead thanking her supporters who donated and “called in favors.”
“You called in favors, you said, ‘Hey, I showed up at your softball game, now I need you to show up at the campaign office,’” Harris said at one point during her speech.
The announcement of Harris’ speech, which lasted just ten minutes, apparently got certain supporters’ hopes up, however.
One commenter suggested that the failed candidate was using coded language and that Trump would actually be prevented from taking office somehow and that Harris had a trick up her sleeve that she could not yet reveal. “‘Outcome of this election is not what we wanted’ – notice she didn’t say ‘we lost’ – WE GET IT – you can’t show your hand. That felon is going down.”
“Kamala I absolutely still see you taking office on 1/20,” one comment read, while another said in all caps, “WE CAN’T HAVE ANOTHER 4 YEARS OF TRUMP!!! TAKE HIM DOWN NOW!!!!!”
Numerous other Harris supporters called for a recount in the swing states, and some accused Trump of cheating with the help of Elon Musk.
